GENERAL DESCRIPTION
   The PS5163 module is a complete smart battery controller subsystem based on the Microchip PS501 field reprogrammable battery manager with patented Accuron® technology. The module is designed to operate in a battery pack consisting of three (3) series connected Li-based cells. The module consists of the Microchip PS501 battery manager IC with a four-LED SOC display and an optional connection for an external thermistor.
