MEP Technologies Selects NX BMS for Its Electric Battery Pack Platforms

MEP Technologies has selected the NX BMS as the battery management system for its electric battery pack platforms. Based in Dundee, Scotland, MEP develops high-performance battery packs across automotive, e-mobility, defence, and energy storage sectors, applications where functional safety requirements are stringent and non-negotiable. 

As MEP’s product requirements evolved, the company identified a need for a BMS designed and validated to automotive-grade standards. Following a structured evaluation and testing process against its target application requirements, MEP selected the NX BMS for the functional safety architecture and system adaptability its platforms require. 

The NX BMS is a flexible, ready-to-use system with automotive-grade components and ISO 26262 ASIL-D certified hardware. It connects a Battery Master Controller (BMC) with up to 20 Cell Monitoring Devices (CMDs) over a fault-tolerant communication ring, with each CMD monitoring 9 to 18 cells in series. This modular, cell chemistry-agnostic architecture reduces the number of boards required and lowers overall system cost. The system supports battery voltages up to 1000V and includes an integrated insulation resistance monitor and pyro-fuse driver. 

“Automotive-grade standards were non-negotiable for us. NX understood our requirements from day one and delivered a BMS with the functional safety architecture our applications demand.” Stuart Morrison, Managing Director, MEP Technologies 

” MEP Technologies are exactly the kind of partner our BMS was built for. They have a lot of experience in developing batteries and appreciate that our BMS has a focus on safety and performance.” Mikel Peral, CEO, NX Technologies 

This collaboration reflects NX’s commitment to making automotive-grade battery management accessible to companies operating across demanding sectors, regardless of scale.
