摘要:
An electric storage battery is provided having a monitoring device for indicating the state-of-charge of the battery and particularly indicating whether a discharged battery is healthy and capable of being recharged or unhealthy and impending on a state of failure. The monitoring device achieves the foregoing by testing the open circuit voltage of the battery and determining if the voltage of the battery drops below a first preset value after application of a load and subsequently fails to rise above a second preset value after the load has been removed. Also, the monitoring device for the battery includes the capability of sensing when the battery has been placed into a system such as an engine system for an automobile and in response thereto modifying testing certain parameters. Preferably, the monitoring device is made integral with the battery case by providing a receptacle for receiving the device and a pair of connecting arms at least partially embedded in the battery container or cover.

A powered air purifying respirator (PAPR) that alerts when remaining battery time is below a predefined threshold. The powered air purifying respirator comprises an electric motor mechanically coupled to a blower, a battery coupled to the electric motor, an alarm device, and an electronic controller. The electronic controller determines a second battery time remaining value and actuates the alarm device when the second battery time remaining value is less than a predefined threshold, wherein the controller determines the second battery time remaining value based on indexing into a look-up table of values with a first battery time remaining value and a battery voltage.

Systems and methods for accurately determining the state of health (including state of charge and relative age) of a Lithium Sulfur battery, module or cell. The invention uses an operational model of a Lithium Sulfur cell or battery to predict model parameters under a range of conditions related to state of charge and state of health. Operational models include the memory effect due to the unique chemistry of a Lithium Sulfur cell that precludes the user of other methodologies for State of health determination for Lithium Sulfur batteries. Model parameters are identified in real life applications and parameters are compared to those of the operational Lithium Sulfur model employing Kalman filtering. The output includes an estimate of state of health and other key performance indicators. Key performance indicators are compared with measured values of for example resistance to provide feedback to the estimate process in order to improve accuracy. The system can be implemented as software or firmware in an application.

A detachable battery status alarm has an alarm device (20) and at least one battery detector (10). The battery detector (10) is directly mounted on the battery (30) and electronically connected to the battery (30). The alarm device (20) links to the battery detector (10) to obtain the battery status in a physical connection or a wireless connection. Therefore, the alarm device (20) does not physically connect to the battery (30) or batteries to test the battery or batteries.
