BMS is taking number of inputs like Voltage, Temperature, Current and running number of algorithms (Fuel gauge) and estimations to generate outputs like Safe Operating Area, State of Charge, State of Health and Safe Operating Envelope. BMS is to keep the battery pack operating Safely and keeping it operating Reliably. Functions of a BMS -  Measurement, Management, Evaluation, Communications, Logging.
