A deep understanding of user pain points is the starting point for DigiMarker's technological
innovation. As the core of new energy power systems, battery stability directly determines
product experience and safety. When the DigiMarker CS Series batteries faced two major
issues—the burnout of the 12V DC-DC step-down module and damage to the vehicle controller during
downhill travel with a fully charged battery—we formed a dedicated task force to tackle these
industry challenges head-on. Through technological breakthroughs, we resolved user pain points
and demonstrated our brand's commitment.
At the time, these two failures not only compromised user safety and brand reputation but also
represented widespread industry challenges that most manufacturers could only address through
reactive repairs or temporary workarounds. DigiMarker, however, insisted on addressing the root
causes and took the lead in tackling these technical challenges.
The first hurdle was the burnout of the 12V DC-DC step-down module. Upon investigation, we found
that in the original design, the module was directly connected to the battery circuit and
remained constantly powered. On one hand, high-voltage spikes generated when the BMS cut off
power during the final stages of charging would directly cause the module to fail; on the other
hand, the module's 15mA static current draw would lead to battery damage due to over-discharge
during prolonged winter storage.
The engineering team abandoned conventional protection approaches and started by restructuring
the hardware topology. They connected the 12V DC-DC module's ACC control line to the BMS,
allowing the BMS to centrally manage its on/off state. During charging, the BMS proactively
shuts down the module, completely isolating it from high-voltage spikes; when not charging, the
module activates only as needed, eliminating static leakage current and resolving both issues at
their root.
Immediately afterward, a second major challenge emerged: during downhill braking with a fully
charged battery, the massive regenerative current generated by the motor had nowhere to
dissipate because the original BMS instantly cut off the charging MOSFET, resulting in
high-voltage backflow that burned out the motor controller.
The team restructured the software logic and innovatively introduced a "regenerative current
acceptance state," adding two custom parameters: Parameter 15 (discharge state determination
delay threshold, default 5 seconds) and Parameter 14 (regenerative current acceptance threshold,
default 3655 mV, higher than the standard overvoltage protection value), to reserve a buffer for
the regenerative current.
The new logic establishes a comprehensive protection system: after the battery is fully charged,
it enters a 5-second discharge delay assessment; upon meeting the criteria, it switches to the
"feedback reception state." The BMS disables standard overvoltage protection and sets 3655 mV as
the new threshold, allowing the battery cells to absorb the reverse voltage and protect the
controller. If the voltage exceeds the threshold, the BMS shuts down the MOSFET and generates a
63 protection flag for easy maintenance.
From hardware redesign to software innovation, the DigiMarker R&D team has successfully overcome
two major technical bottlenecks. This not only addresses users' core pain points but also
enhances the stability and safety of the CS series batteries, breaking through industry-wide
technical limitations and putting into practice the brand philosophy of "user-centric,
technology-driven."
Technology knows no bounds, and our pursuit of excellence never ends. This breakthrough is merely
a snapshot of DigiMarker's journey of innovation. In the future, we will continue to deepen our
commitment to the new energy sector, listen to user needs, and use cutting-edge technology to
solve industry challenges, creating more reliable battery products—breaking through barriers
with technology and building trust through quality.
