BMW Hybrid Battery Pack
In addition to the BMW 5 Series (G30) 530e the same battery pack can be found in the 7 Series (G12) 740e as well as the X Series (F15) X5. These battery packs consist of six battery modules yielding 351 volts. The same battery modules can be found in the 3 Series (F30) 330e but in a smaller form factor made up of only five modules and 293 volts.
First Gen (-2018)
The Electrical Energy Storage System in the 530e as well as the 740e has a code name of SP06 and a capacity of 26 Ah.
Second Gen (2019-present)
The newer SP41 high-voltage battery was installed in the G30 as well as the G12 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles starting in July of 2019. It has the same basic design as the SP06. The most significant change is the cell capacity increase from 26 Ah to 34 Ah.

Battery Management System, BMS
There is a SimpBMS version available on GitHub called BMWPhevBMS https://github.com/Tom-evnut/BMWPhevBMS created by Tome de Bree.
Wiring/pinouts
When using SimpBMS, the original BMW BMS master module should be unplugged (blue plug). This plug should instead be used to power the BMS slave modules and for the CAN connection to slave modules. See pinout below.
It's important to note that each plug in the wiring harness has an 'in' and an 'out' pin. I.e., the 5V, GND, and CAN connections are chained from one slave module to the next. So, if for some reason you have one of the slave modules unplugged, you may need to jumper the pins in that plug or else the modules further down the chain may not work.

Temperature Sensors
The temperature sensors used in the hybrid battery packs are NTC 100k/4.4 and 10k/3.4 [2].
S-Box
The BMW Hybrid Battery Pack contains a module that contains contactors and a shunt which is known as a Control Unit Module Security Fuse Box, S-Box PHEV BK, or S-Box that is now supported by the ZombieVerter. There are S-Boxes available in a number of the BMW PHEV models.
Part numbers include 8686893, 8638197, 8651068, 8681536, 8844217, 9470054, 9846612, found in the following PHEV models:

Damien's notes:
Four heavy duty spade terminals provide connection for HV Battery + , - and Output + ,-
Connection of Can data and 12v power is via a white 16 pin connector on the front.
Pins 12 and 14 to +12v
Pin 3 to GND
Pin 1 CANH
Pin 10 CANL
CAN is 500K speed.
Two ids are required to run the SBox and control its contactors:
0x100 and 0x300 DLC 4 at 20ms intervals.
0x100 has a counter and CRC8 and is the main control message.
Byte 0 controls contactor function as follows :
0x62 Activates negative contactor
0x0A Activates positive contactor
0x8A Activates positive contactor and precharge relay
0xA6 Activates negative contactor and precharge relay
0x62 Activates negative and positive contactors and precharge relay
0x86 Activates precharge relay only.
Other combinations of bits in byte 0 will cause individual contactors and combinations of contactors and precharge relay to engage.
Byte 1: Counter in upper nibble running from 0x0 to 0xE. Lower nibble fixed at 0x1.Function not yet investigated.
Byte 2: fixed at 0xFF. Function not yet investigated.
Byte 3: CRC8 , Poly 0x31 ,Initial value 0x00, final XOR 0x00 , inverse both. Calculated on length of 8 bytes while message is only 4 bytes long.
0x300 can be static:
0xFF , 0xFE , 0xFF , 0xFF
Information such as Battery voltage, Current, Output voltage etc are provided over CAN making it a very versatile unit. Messages for Ah,kwh,kw etc are being investigated.
