    摘要: A battery monitor circuit, systems and methods are disclosed. The battery monitor circuit may comprise a voltage sensor, a temperature sensor, a processor for receiving a monitored voltage signal from the voltage sensor, for receiving a monitored temperature signal from the temperature sensor, and for generating voltage data and temperature data based on the monitored voltage signal and the monitored temperature signal, an antenna, and a transmitter. The battery monitor circuit may be configured for wirelessly communicating the voltage data and the temperature data to a remote device, via the antenna. In an exemplary embodiment, the battery monitor circuit is located internal to the battery and wired electrically to the battery.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for determining a state of charge, a self-discharge rate, and a predicted amount of time remaining (tREMX) until the battery will self-discharge to a pre-determined minimum state-of-charge (SOCmin) under storage or transit conditions, in a disconnected battery. The method further discloses calculating a time to recharge the battery (ReChargeTime) from its current SOC to a desired SOC. A battery monitor circuit, embedded or attached to a battery, monitors an instantaneous internal temperature (Tx) and a voltage (Vx) of a disconnected battery to perform the analysis and provide notification, scheduling, and take other actions. In an example embodiment, the method further comprises displaying this determined battery information on the remote device without any physical connection between the remote device and the battery.
