The power supply 330 may supply operating power to the X-ray radiator 310 and the controller 320 via the lithium ion battery 334. Furthermore, the power supply 330 may supply operating power to components of the X-ray apparatus 100 that require the operating power. For example, the power supply 330 may supply operating power to the input device 151, the display 152, and the communication unit 140 of the X-ray apparatus 100 via the lithium ion battery 334.
The BMS 332 may detect a state of the lithium ion battery 334, such as a voltage and a temperature thereof. According to an embodiment, the BMS 332 may include a battery stack monitor circuit designed to monitor a voltage of the lithium ion battery 334 and a temperature of a battery cell. The BMS 332 may control and manage the power supply 330 based on the state of the lithium ion battery 334. Furthermore, the BMS 332 may operate a protection circuit for protecting the lithium ion battery 334 based on the state of the lithium ion battery 334. In other words, the BMS 332 may operate, based on the state of the lithium ion battery 334, the protection circuit to protect the lithium ion battery 334 from dangerous conditions. In detail, based on the state of the lithium ion battery 334, the BMS 332 may operate the protection circuit to protect the lithium ion battery 334 against at least one of over-discharge, overcurrent, overheating, and unbalancing between battery cells.
