Large Battery Pack standards

CAN Bus messages for large packs such as traction batteries in BEVs, HEVs and PHEVs

This set of standard CAN messages is used in applications that use large battery packs, such as electric vehicles, hybrid cars and plug-in hybrids.

Rev: 10/26/07

The Traction battery system adds to the vehicle's CAN bus the following messages.

  • CAN communication standard: same as the vehicle (e.g.: 500 KHz)
  • Standard addressing (CAN 2.0 A) (not extended)
  • Period: 1 s
  • Multi-byte values are big-endian.
