Abstract
Nowadays, the development and population of electric vehicles (EV) have increased significantly in line with the issue of reducing air pollution and fuel dependence. EV uses a battery pack as the main energy source, and lithium-ion batteries are more widely used with consideration of having high energy, life cycle, and power density. Likewise, with the ITS electric scooter which uses lithium-ion battery packs with an operating voltage of 96 V. A battery charger has a crucial role in charging a battery pack. In this article, the design, consideration, and implementation of a battery charger have been described in detail. Chargers that have been developed have several features, such as programmable settings, constant current constant voltage (CCCV) algorithm, wide range voltage output, temperature cut-off, high efficiency, low-cost component, power quality improved by power factor correction (PFC), and be able to be integrated with battery management system via CAN communication. The charger is expected to be used reliably for EV lithium-ion battery charger by using those features
