Includes:
  • BM 2 Battery Module
  • Shorting block for RBF inhibit during transport
  • One 12" / 300mm 14-conductor mating harness with flying leads
  • USB Debug Adapter with USB A-to-B cable
  • Windows-based GUI for firmware updates
  • Python-based GUI for SCPI-based command and telemetry development (requires a Total Phase™ Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter -- not included)
The Pumpkin USB Debug Adapter provides a debugging terminal interface to the BM 2. The dedicated Windows GUI is required for firmware updates, and connects to the BM 2 via the USB Debug Adapter.
​
A variety of factory configuration options are available -- please consult the datasheet, and the options above, for more information.
This module is electrically compatible with most CubeSats and small satellites; a compatible EPS is required to charge the batteries. The BM2 can power loads directly at battery voltage, and it can be a source of  power for a compatible EPS. In typical applications, a compatible EPS charges the batteries when external power (e.g., via solar panels) is available, and it discharges the batteries when the batteries are the only source of available power (e.g., during eclipse).  An EPS selected for use with the BM 2 will typically require that the BM 2 be configured for the battery voltage the EPS is designed to support (2, 3 or 4 Lithium cells in series).

The BM 2's minimum interface is via its V+ (sometimes called BAT_POS) and V- ((D)GND) terminals. Additional functionality is possible via its SCL_SYS, SDA_SYS, -RESET and OFF_VCC terminals. Pumpkin offers a Battery Bus Interface Module (BBIM) to connect the BM 2 to a standard 104-pin CubeSat bus connector.

The BM 2 has a 100x100mm footprint when its L-shaped mounting brackets are present; this footprint is directly compatible with Pumpkin's SUPERNOVA nanosatellite architecture, and may be compatible with many others. These brackets can be removed for mounting inside a 1U/1.5U/2U/3U CubeSat; see the datasheet for more information.

The BM 2 is electrically compatible with all known current small satellite dispensers and launch vehicles.
