These functions include the temperature, voltage, current, [charging/discharging rates](https://blog.epectec.com/battery-charging-and-discharging-at-high-and-low-temperatures), capacity, and the overall health of the batteries. If an issue arises, such as high temperatures or overcharging, the [BMS collects the data](https://blog.epectec.com/battery-management-systems-considerations-for-optimal-performance) and sends it to the device's control system.
