摘要:
A protection module interposed between a chargeable/dischargeable secondary battery and a load, the protection module includes a first switching element connected to the chargeable/dischargeable secondary battery, a second switching element connected to the load, a protection unit configured to prevent over-charge and over-discharge of the chargeable/dischargeable secondary battery by switching on/off the first and the second switching elements, a storage unit configured to store status data of the chargeable/dischargeable secondary battery and threshold data pertaining to a status of the chargeable/dischargeable secondary battery, a status monitor unit configured to monitor the status of the chargeable/dischargeable secondary battery. The status monitor unit is configured to set plural storage areas in the storage unit and store the status data and a flag data indicating whether the status data is a latest status data in one of the plural storage areas.
摘要:
A battery state measuring method computes a battery voltage at a time when charging or discharge of a battery stops, corresponding to a charging rate of a unit time before, based on a first battery characteristic. The method further computes a variation per unit time of the charging rate, corresponding to a voltage difference between the detected and computed battery voltages, based on a second battery characteristic, and computes a charging rate of the unit time after, using the charging rate of the unit time before and the computed variation.
