摘要: A method for estimating a state of charge of a valve regulated lead-acid battery includes; an overcharge amount identification step of identifying an overcharge amount when the lead-acid battery is overcharged after an arbitrary reference time; an open circuit voltage acquisition step of acquiring an open circuit voltage of the lead-acid battery after the reference time; and a state-of-charge estimation step of estimating a state of charge of the lead-acid battery based on the acquired open circuit voltage and a correlation between an open circuit voltage and state of charge in which a rate of change of the state of charge with respect to the open circuit voltage is smaller as the overcharge amount from the reference time until an acquisition time of the open circuit voltage is larger.

摘要: A power supply system includes a lead battery supplying power to the electric load of the vehicle, a battery sensor unit acquiring a value related to a state of the lead battery, and a battery deterioration determination device determining deterioration of the lead battery based on the value acquired by the battery sensor unit. The battery sensor unit acquires a value of a charge amount of the lead battery, a value of a discharge amount of the lead battery, and a value of a discharge depth of the lead battery. An ECU calculates a value of an effective charge/discharge amount of the lead battery based on a charge amount acquisition value, a discharge amount acquisition value and a discharge depth acquisition value acquired by the battery sensor unit and determines deterioration resulting from softening of a positive electrode active material based on the value of the effective charge/discharge amount.

摘要: Disclosed herein are a methods and system for monitoring battery temperature and providing alerts when temperatures are abnormal, comprising: wirelessly receiving temperature measurement data from a single monobloc or a plurality of monoblocs that are electrically connected in series or parallel, wherein a temperature measurement data represent the temperatures inside each of said plurality of monoblocs; calculating a temperature value, TPDAVE, equal to an average of the temperature measurement data wirelessly received from all the plurality of monoblocs in a battery; calculating a high temperature difference, TPDH, as an absolute value of the difference between the highest monobloc temperature in the battery and the TPDAVE; calculating a low temperature difference, TPDL, as an absolute value of the difference between the lowest monobloc temperature in the battery and the TPDAVE; and establishing an alert when the TPDH is greater than a predetermined high temperature threshold.

摘要: The present disclosure is a battery capacity testing interface (BCTI) module. The BCTI module may be configured to test capacity of a battery unit, such as an individual battery or string of batteries. In one aspect of the present disclosure, the BCTI module may instruct a battery unit under test to release a controlled electrical discharge that is measured by the BCTI module. Once determined, battery capacity can provide insight into the battery life of the battery, as well as the ability of the battery to deliver a specified amount of current at a constant rate to a specified end voltage for a specified time. Advantageously, the BCTI module may operate with various types of battery monitors and may be employed to test various types of batteries, including lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion batteries.

摘要: The present invention provides a classification method and system for rechargeable batteries based on stable charging current or current leakage. A charging current should be zero theoretically when a rechargeable battery is fully charged, however, due to self-discharging effect, there exists a current leakage even after the battery is fully charged. Rechargeable batteries can be classified based on their stable charging current after being fully charged. Different classified rechargeable batteries can be adopted for different purposes.

摘要: A system for determining an operating mode of a battery includes a voltage sensor configured to detect a present voltage across terminals of the battery. The system further includes a non-transitory memory configured to store previously detected voltages across the terminals of the battery, and a previous operating mode of the battery. The system further includes a processor coupled to the voltage sensor and the non-transitory memory and configured to determine the operating mode of the battery by comparing the present voltage across the terminals of the battery to the previously detected voltages of the battery and based on the previous operating mode of the battery.
