Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of batteries, and provides a sampling device, a battery management system, and a vehicle. The sampling device includes multiple core function regions, an auxiliary function region, and a terminal connector. The multiple core function regions are configured to process information of a battery. The auxiliary function region has wiring arranged therein, and is configured to transmit a signal corresponding to the information. The multiple core function regions are cascaded through the wiring.
