C library and tools for SEPLOS BMS (Battery Management System) using their protocol 2.0
The software currently monitors all of the battery alarms and status, and emits a monitoring page to a text output. To be done: continuous monitoring with email for alarms and web output.
I've only tested this with one battery, and I've not seen any alarms on that battery, so the alarm code may have issues.
Warning

The battery is a high-energy device. It's dangerous!
The battery and this software should be handled only by a person who is fully trained in all of the risk presented by a high-energy system.
You may damage your battery through use of this software, or cause other damage, including to life and property. Lithium batteries can catch fire, and can expel noxious or toxic gas or liquid. High-current circuits may catch fire. There is risk of electric shock, burns, or degloving injury (look it up) due to high temperature caused by high current across jewelery or other conductors, and blindness, burns, or other injury caused by arc-flash.
When working on the battery or the system connected to it:
Take all proper precautions against electric shock, high-temperature burns, and arc-flash.
Disable the battery using both its manual circuit breaker and its facility to hibernate, along with any similar facilites of your equipment.
Do not touch any conductor that might be connected, directly or indirectly, to the battery or other energized circuits.
Do not wear jewelery in the presence of electrical systems that can sustain a high current or voltage. Even in systems with a voltage considered "safe", high current can cause a degloving injury. Photos of degloving injuries are available on the net, and are very disturbing.
Protect yourself by using insulating gloves, shoes with non-conductive soles, and an insulating helmet.
Have a second person present, who is trained and able to help you if you are shocked or injured. Go over what you plan to do with that person before you act.
Maintain situational awareness and think for yourself! There are additional hazards, both known and unknown.
Don't rush or skip precautions.
This software has bugs, omissions, failures, and limitations, both known and unknown. It is not possible for software this complicated to be without them. This software may cause the battery to work in incorrect, dangerous, damaging, or unpredictable ways.
Deliberately changing the parameters of your battery is likely to result in danger or damage.
