Dukosi Cell Monitoring System (DKCMS)

Dukosi Ltd is a battery technology company headquartered in Edinburgh, Scotland, with locations in the USA, Asia and Europe. It develops chip-on-cell monitoring ICs and the C-SynQ communication protocol to improve the performance, safety and efficiency of high-power battery systems.

The Dukosi Cell Monitoring System places a monitor chip on every cell to measure voltage and temperature, and sends the data over a contactless link to a system hub connected to the battery management system. The product family includes DKCMS and DKCMS Core, evaluation kits with a GUI, and the DK-NFLNK node and hub chips that work with any analog front end over SPI. Case studies name Hyundai Motor Europe Technical Center, Camy, Nordic Marine Power and Forward Engineering.

• Chip-on-cell monitoring: a cell monitor chip measures voltage and temperature on each cell at the same time.
• Contactless communication: the C-SynQ protocol links cell chips to the system hub through PCB trace and bus antennas.
• DK-NFLNK upgrade path: node and hub chips connect to any analog front end over standard SPI.
• Cell passport: on-chip memory keeps manufacturing details, chemistry and operational events such as temperature spikes.
• Evaluation kits: node board, system hub, cables and a Windows-based GUI support early development.

Battery pack makers in Vietnam can use cell-level monitoring in e-bus, e-motorcycle or industrial battery packs to cut wiring and improve diagnostics. Energy storage integrators can apply it to large prismatic cell systems for solar plus storage projects.

Contactless links remove wiring harnesses and fault-prone connectors inside the battery pack. The node chips are AFE-agnostic, so existing modular architectures can be upgraded without redesign. The DK8503 and DK8203 chips are AEC-Q100 certified and designed for ASIL C compliance. Per-cell chips store lifetime data in a cell passport.

Battery energy storage for AI data centers, electric vehicles, marine and robotics is driving demand for safer, more scalable battery monitoring with fewer wires. Southeast Asia is expanding energy storage and EV battery assembly, creating a market for BMS chips that cut pack complexity.
