What LiTHIUM BALANCE does
LiTHIUM BALANCE A/S is a Danish developer of off-the-shelf Battery Management Systems (BMS) for lithium-ion batteries, founded in 2006 at the Danish Technological Institute and headquartered in Herlev, Denmark. The company designs and manufactures a portfolio of five core BMS hardware platforms spanning 60V to 1500V applications: n3-BMS (ISO 26262 ASIL-C certified distributed system for high-voltage automotive/trucks/buses), n-BMS (next-generation scalable distributed system), c-BMS24 and c-BMS24X (compact integrated systems for medium-voltage applications), and i-BMS15 (integrated system for two/three-wheelers and low-voltage light EVs). Its architecture uses a Master Control Unit (MCU) communicating with Cell Monitoring Units (CMUs), with cell-agnostic support for NMC, LFP, and LTO chemistries. The company's n3-BMS holds ISO 26262 ASIL-C functional safety certification from TÜV SÜD, and the firm maintains ISO 9001:2015 quality certification, with ISO 13849 compliance for the i-BMS product line. Supporting the hardware are three software tools: Creator (configuration), PRO/SERVICE (legacy s-BMS configuration), and LiBAL BatAnalytics (fleet-wide battery monitoring and predictive analytics).
The company operates a B2B enterprise model selling BMS hardware alongside configuration software licenses and professional services (application support from prototype through production). Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales to OEMs and battery integrators with an eight-distributor global channel covering Nordics/DACH, Australia, India, Southeast Asia, Western Europe, Southern Europe, South Africa, and Turkey. Pricing is quote-based with no self-serve option. The customer base spans five verticals: industrial (forklifts, cleaning machines, cranes, robots), automotive (passenger cars, buses, trucks, sports vehicles), marine (submarines, leisure vessels), light EV (scooters, e-trikes, golf carts), and energy storage. Notable customers include Aiways, JMC-Ford, Toyota Material Handling, Kalmar Cargotec, Tennant UK, U-Boat Worx, and Xolta, with 1000+ cumulative customer projects and a notable Indian deployment supporting 500,000+ EVs through a local Tier I manufacturer.
In 2021 the company was fully acquired by Sensata Technologies, then departed from Sensata ownership in August 2025 to resume independent operation as Lithium Balance A/S, retaining all technologies, assets, IPs, manufacturing capability, and key personnel. New orders resumed from September 2025 with shipments beginning late October/early November 2025. The company is preparing major product launches at The Battery Show Europe 2026 (Stuttgart, June 2026), including CMU18 (18-cell n3-BMS variant), a 1500V BMS with functional safety certification, and a re-launched ISO 13849-compliant i-BMS, alongside new software features for cybersecurity and battery passport capability.

LiTHIUM BALANCE product offering
Product offeringCore offering
LiTHIUM BALANCE develops, manufactures and sells off-the-shelf Battery Management Systems (BMS) for lithium-ion battery packs used across industrial, automotive, marine, light electric vehicle and stationary energy storage applications. The product portfolio spans the ISO 26262 ASIL-C certified n3-BMS, the distributed n-BMS, the compact c-BMS24 and c-BMS24X, the integrated i-BMS15, and the legacy s-BMS, complemented by Creator and PRO/SERVICE configuration software plus the LiBAL BatAnalytics fleet monitoring tool.
Product overview
Lithium Balance offers a portfolio of off-the-shelf Battery Management Systems (BMS) alongside configuration and analytics software tools. The core BMS product line includes five hardware platforms: n3-BMS™ (ISO-26262 ASIL-C certified distributed system for high voltage/trucks/buses), n-BMS™ (scalable distributed system for high voltage), c-BMS24™ and c-BMS24X™ (compact integrated systems for medium voltage), and i-BMS15™ (integrated system for low voltage/two-three wheelers). The older s-BMS™ product line remains available. Supporting the hardware are three software tools: Creator Software (for c-BMS/n-BMS/i-BMS configuration), PRO/SERVICE Software (for s-BMS configuration), and BatAnalaytics (fleet monitoring and predictive analytics). The architecture progresses from compact integrated units (c-BMS, i-BMS) to distributed modular systems (n-BMS, n3-BMS, s-BMS) supporting applications from 60V to 1000V.
