KULR Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE American: KULR) (the "Company" or "KULR"), a Bitcoin+ Treasury company that builds a portfolio of frontier technology businesses ranging from high-performance energy systems to AI Robotics, announced the launch of its next generation KULR-developed Battery Management System (kBMS) — an advanced solution engineered to set a new industry benchmark for reliability, safety, and energy efficiency.

The kBMS is offered in two variants: one tailored for defense and terrestrial mission-critical applications, and another optimized for spacecraft power systems. The space-focused version can be configured in two ways — as a cost-effective system built with commercial chipsets protected from radiation within customer housings, or as a premium build utilizing radiation-tolerant components throughout. This flexibility allows KULR to deliver space-rated BMS solutions at multiple price points, giving integrators new options for balancing budget, safety, and mission assurance.

“With the launch of the kBMS, our team has built a solution that delivers reliability, safety, and efficiency for mission-critical power systems,” said Peter Hughes, Vice President of Engineering at KULR. “Its analog architecture, radiation-tolerant integration, and redundant hardware give customers confidence their systems will perform under the toughest conditions.”

Key Features and Innovations

• Analog Architecture with Rad-Tolerant Chipset Integration
  KULR’s design leverages an analog architecture and operational amplifier (op-amp) programming strategy, enabling the use of rad-tolerant processors. This breakthrough overcomes the absence of radiation-tolerant BMS chipsets, allowing the kBMS to be deployed in cost-effective or premium space-rated configurations.
• Firmware and Redundant Hardware for Maximum Reliability and Safety
  Robust firmware paired with a dual-redundancy hardware architecture ensures safe operation even under extreme conditions, minimizing single points of failure.
• Reduced Power Draw with Lower-Impedance MOSFETs
  By using lower-impedance MOSFETs, the kBMS improves energy efficiency, reduces thermal losses, and extends system runtime for enhanced overall performance.
• Isolated Communication Interface for Load and Power Protection
  The system features an isolated communication interface that shields both the load and power electronics from damaging voltage spikes under certain conditions.
• Unique Calibration Capability
  Unlike most BMS solutions that must be replaced when calibration drift occurs, the kBMS can be recalibrated to restore full accuracy, lowering lifecycle costs and reducing downtime.

The introduction of the kBMS expands KULR’s offerings beyond thermal management and energy storage products, cementing its role as a comprehensive battery safety and intelligence provider. With availability beginning immediately for design-in and qualification programs, the kBMS platform is expected to accelerate adoption across Space, Defense, and other mission-critical applications where uptime, safety, and system resilience are paramount.
