Abstract

This application relates to a battery management system and a power supply device. The battery management system includes a first battery management module and a second battery management module in communication connection with the first battery management module. The second battery management module includes a code detection circuit that includes a plurality of sampling channels. The first battery management module is configured to determine code data based on voltage of at least one of the sampling channels, and perform identity authentication on the second battery management module based on the code data. The code detection circuit is disposed in the second battery management module, and code data is determined based on voltage of the sampling channel in the code detection circuit, so that failure in any battery management module does not affect code data collection by other battery management modules, thus achieving a high management reliability.

determining, by the first battery management module, whether a quantity of received code data is consistent with a preset value, and outputting fault prompt information when the quantity of the received code data is inconsistent with the preset value.

13. A battery management apparatus, wherein the apparatus is applied to the battery management system according to claim 1 , and the apparatus comprises:
a determining unit, configured to determine code data based on voltage of at least one sampling channel in a plurality of sampling channels; and
an authentication unit, configured to perform identity authentication on a second battery management module based on the code data.

14. The apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the apparatus further comprises:
a detection unit, configured to detect, based on a predefined range, whether the code data of the second battery management module is correct; and
a first prompt unit, configured to output fault prompt information when the detection unit has detected incorrect code data.

15. The apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the apparatus further comprises:
