摘要:
The disclosed embodiments provide a system that manages use of a battery corresponding to a high-voltage lithium-polymer battery in a portable electronic device. During operation, the system monitors a cycle number of the battery during use of the battery with the portable electronic device, wherein the cycle number corresponds to a number of charge-discharge cycles of the battery. If the cycle number exceeds one or more cycle number thresholds, the system modifies a charging technique for the battery to manage swelling in the battery and use of the battery with the portable electronic device.

A method for operating an in-vehicle charger and an in-vehicle charger mounted to a vehicle. The in-vehicle charger includes a charging coil for performing non-contact charging to a mobile device placed in the vehicle; and a control unit connected to the charging coil. The control unit instructs start or stop of supplying power to the charging coil in response to detecting a first signal indicating the engine is driven and a second signal indicating a state of a vehicle component of the vehicle other than the engine. The method includes a step of detecting the first signal; a step of detecting the second signal; and a step of instructing a start or stop of supplying power to the charging coil in response to detecting both of the first and second signals.

A data storage control device controls a memory card which, including a non-volatile rewritable memory, operates using an external power supply. A DC/DC converter generates, by having a power supply of a +B voltage, a card operating voltage for operating the memory card. When delayed ACC is completed after an accessory power supply of a vehicle is turned off, a main microcomputer, a shutdown signal control unit, and a transistor set a shutdown terminal of the DC/DC converter to a low level by setting a main control signal input terminal to a high level and, thereby, stops operation of the DC/DC converter. This inhibits the occurrence of a case in which, after the accessory power supply of the vehicle is turned off, the circuit supplying power to the memory card affects other devices mounted in the vehicle.

A charger and a charging system are provided. The charger includes: a rectifier, a transformer, a first diode, a capacitor, a voltage sampling feedback unit, a pulse width modulation (PWM) controller, a battery voltage feedback unit and a semiconductor switching component, where the battery voltage feedback unit is added in the charger to detect battery voltage of a terminal, and the detected battery voltage of the terminal is fed back to a voltage sampling feedback unit inside the charger, so that the voltage sampling feedback unit can adjust an output voltage of the charger in real time according to an actual battery voltage of the terminal, and therefore, the output voltage of the charger gradually rises along with an increase of the battery voltage of the terminal, thereby effectively reducing energy consumption of the charger and achieving a purpose of energy saving.

摘要:
A method and system for heating a vehicle battery, such as the type used for vehicle propulsion in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). Depending on the battery chemistry involved, such batteries may not perform well in extremely cold environments. For instance, a lithium-ion battery can exhibit a high internal resistance when the battery is extremely cold, which in turn can negatively affect the available power or other capabilities of the battery. According to an exemplary embodiment, the method and system take advantage of the high internal resistance in a cold vehicle battery by purposely cycling electrical current in and/or out of the battery so that heat is created. This heat warms up the vehicle battery and thereby improves its overall performance and capabilities.

A power exchange controller adjusts a power exchange between a plurality of batteries and an upper authority to control deterioration of a state-of-health of each of the plurality of batteries at an equivalent rate. The power exchange controller is operable to receive a total power demand from the upper authority and each of the plurality of batteries connected to a charging station and adjust the power exchange between the upper authority and each of the plurality of batteries by detecting a battery temperature of each of the plurality of batteries and determining the power exchange with each of the plurality of batteries based on the total power demand and an equalized temperature determined from each battery temperature. Each power exchange is determined so that the battery temperature of each of the plurality of batteries during the power exchange is adjusted to the equalized temperature.

An onboard charging system in which a main battery (3) is charged with generated power by a solar cell (2) after the generated power is stepped up in a voltage by a step-up converter (9) includes a step-up ratio calculating portion (62) configured to calculate a step-up ratio when stepping up the voltage with the step-up converter (9). The auxiliary battery (4) is set as a charging target battery if it is determined that the calculated step-up ratio is equal to or greater than the determination threshold value, and the main battery (3) is set as the charging target battery if it is not determined that the calculated step-up ratio is equal to or greater than the determination threshold value.
