Abstract
An energy management system for monitoring an energy storage device is disclosed. The energy management system includes a plurality of cells forming the energy storage device. Each of the cells includes a line for communicating a voltage signal. A local module is connected to the cells of the energy storage device. The local module has a plurality of inputs for receiving the voltage signals generated by the cells. The local module provides a multiplexed output signal. A processor is provided for receiving the multiplexed output signal from the local module and monitoring the voltage signals produced by the energy storage device.
