摘要:
A battery control module monitors discharge voltages associated with a traction battery of an automotive vehicle. The battery control module cycles the traction battery at a discharge-voltage dependent charge/discharge profile to generate heat within the traction battery.

摘要:
A system for charging an electric storage battery in an electric vehicle includes a first converter electrically connectable to a first source of AC electric power, for converting AC from the first power source to a first DC output, a second converter electrically connectable to a second source of AC electric power that is out of phase relative to the first AC power source, for converting AC from the second power source to a second DC output, and a regulator electrically coupled to the first DC output, the second DC output and the battery, for producing and charging the battery with a third DC output having a higher voltage than the voltage of the first and the second DC outputs.
摘要:
A cooling system operable to cool a battery pack or other device through a heat exchange operation supported, at least in part, with cycling of a coolant relative to a coldplate or other thermally conducting surface of the device and/or attached thereto.
摘要:
A cooling system may be operable to cool a battery pack or other device through a heat exchange operation supported, at least in part, with cycling of a coolant relative to a coldplate or other thermally conducting surface of the device and/or attached thereto. The system may include a coldplate operable to exchange heat with a battery pack; and a coolant tank operable to exchange heat with the coldplate, the tank having a channel for directing a coolant flow in a direction from an inlet of the tank to at least one outlet of the tank and an inlet accumulator between the inlet and a beginning of the channel, wherein the inlet accumulator is wider along the coolant flow direction than the channel and the inlet and having a sloped side leading towards the channel configured to pool the coolant flow prior to entry into the channel.
