This project helps you fix batteries that get locked by their Battery Management System (BMS) when it detects a fault, which sometimes happens by mistake or after the problem is fixed. Instead of throwing away a good battery, you can use open-source tools to reset the lock and save money. You set up an Arduino device and software on your computer (either a simple Windows program or Python-based) to communicate with the battery and unlock it. This way, you can repair and reuse batteries that would otherwise be wasted, reducing costs and environmental impact.
