    摘要: A method, apparatus, and computer program product for a dynamically configurable auto-healing battery are provided in the illustrative embodiments. Identification of a condition is performed within the battery. The battery comprises a set of cells a subset of which is electrically connected in a configuration such that the configuration delivers a first amount of electrical power from the battery. The battery further comprising a second set of spare cells. Responsive to the condition, a cell is selected from the subset. Responsive to the condition, a spare cell is selected from the set of spare cells. The selected cell in the subset is made electrically unavailable in the configuration. The selected spare cell is made electrically available in the configuration, resulting in eliminating an effect of the condition on a power output of the battery.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention relate to a multi-cell battery, and individual evaluation of the battery cells. Each cell is individually removed or disconnected from the battery. An adjustable cell charger and an adjustable cell load are mapped to the disconnected cell. As the charger charges the cell, an associated sensor validates acceptance of the charge. As the cell load discharges the cell, the sensor measures discharge characteristics. Operating efficiency of the selected cell is evaluated based on the measured charge acceptance and discharge characteristics.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention relate to a multi-cell battery, with at least two cells electrically connected in a first parallel arrangement, which is connected in series to a second parallel arrangement of at least two additional cells. Each cell is locally connected to a sensor to sense and control the current of each cell in parallel or parallel-series combination in the multi-cell battery. A control module is in communication with each sensor, and associated instructions electrically remove or disable a cell from the battery determined to be defective based on measurements from the associated sensor. Accordingly, the configuration measures and monitors the state of health of each cell in the battery pack, the measurements including temperature, voltage and current sensing. The identification of one of the cells as subject to a performance failure results in electrically switching the identified cell to an off position.
