A method and apparatus are provided, by which a state of charge of a battery is accurately computed without being influenced by the polarization effect. An estimated voltage of the battery 13 in a constant load discharge with a predetermined large current value is estimated from a voltage-current characteristic when the discharge current of the constant load discharging process by the battery 13 that is in an equilibrium state is decreasing from the predetermined large current value corresponding to a maximum supplying electric power to the load. A difference between the estimated voltage and an open circuit voltage, which estimates the estimated voltage and is a terminal voltage of the battery 13 that is in an equilibrium state before the start of the constant load discharge by using the predetermined large current value, is calculated. Then, the difference is memorized by first memory means 27 for memorizing a residual voltage drop defining as the residual voltage drop due to a residual polarization at the end of the discharging process of the battery 13. The residual voltage drop memorized by the first memory means 27 is added to the estimated voltage of the battery 13, thereby a present charging capacity of the battery 13 is computed.

In an apparatus for measuring a pure resistance of an in-vehicle battery, a terminal voltage and a discharging current of the battery are measured when the discharging current flows from the battery. A first approximate equation of a voltage-current characteristic curve is acquired for an increasing discharging current, and a second approximate equation is the voltage-current characteristic curve is acquired for a decreasing discharging current. Two points providing equal synthesized resistances each composed of the pure resistance and polarization resistance component are set on the voltage-current characteristic curves represented by the first and the second approximate equations, respectively. The gradients between the two points in each of the voltage-current characteristic curves are corrected to provide two corrected gradients each exclusive of a voltage drop due to the polarization resistance component. The two corrected gradients are averaged to provide an average value which is measured as a pure resistance of the battery.

As a simulation load is driven with an object cell, a cell discharge stop voltage is estimated by collecting data of a discharge current and a terminal voltage, processing the collected data to obtain an approximate linear function between the discharge current and the terminal voltage, substituting a first reference value into the linear function to estimate a first voltage, making a decision for the first voltage having reached a second reference value, responding to the decision for substituting a third reference value into the linear function to estimate a second voltage, and outputting the second voltage as a representative value of the discharge stop voltage.

A sensor contactlessly driven by a single power supply is disclosed. A current flows in a resistor R.sub.L through the secondary winding of a coil in the direction corresponding to the direction of magnetic fluxes generated in the coil in accordance with discharge or charge mode of a main battery. The input terminal of a voltage follower is connected to the voltage-dividing point of a series circuit including resistors R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 and a reference voltage control circuit. The reference voltage control circuit changes the input voltage of the voltage follower in accordance with the direction of the current flowing in the resistor R.sub.L. It follows therefore that the measurement range is switched in accordance with discharge or charge mode of the main battery, with the result that the overall measurement range can be widened in spite of the fact that only a single power supply +Vcc is used.

A method and an apparatus for computing a charging state of a battery without being affected by an influence of polarization are provided. First computing means computes a voltage-current characteristic including the influence of the polarization during an decrease of a discharge current of the battery on the basis of a terminal voltage and discharge current measured while the battery carries out a constant load discharge with a current value large enough to cancel a charge-side polarization arisen in the battery at least just before the discharge. A second computing means shifts the voltage-current characteristic to a specific extent in the direction of a voltage coordinate axis. A residual voltage drop value in advance stored by storing means is added to a present estimated voltage value estimated by estimating means on the basis of the shifted voltage-current characteristic, thereby a present open circuit voltage of the battery is computed.

摘要:
A voltage sensor detects a terminal voltage of a battery connected to a load and a current sensor detects a current flowing through the load. A voltage-current changing tendency calculation unit reads a detected voltage and a detected current detected by the voltage sensor and the current sensor and outputs, every predetermined period of time, plural data of the detected voltage and the corresponding detected current as dispersed data. A voltage-current approximating line calculation unit inputs the dispersed data and determines, based on the dispersed data, a voltage-current approximating linear function each time the predetermined period of time. A battery remaining capacity calculation unit determines, each time the voltage-current approximating linear function is determined, a remaining capacity of the battery based on the voltage-current approximating linear function. Particularly the voltage-current approximating line calculation unit determines the voltage-current approximating linear function by applying a method of least squares to the plural data of the voltage and the corresponding current of the dispersed data.
摘要:
While a power source is being supplied from a sub-battery by a voltage-current change trend calculating section, the voltage-current change trend calculating section collects currents from a battery and terminal voltages. A voltage-current approximate straight line calculating section obtains an approximately linear function, and a battery residual capacity calculating section obtains a residual capacity voltage based upon the approximately linear function and open-circuit voltages. A current storage stop discriminating section integrates the currents while the residual capacity voltage is lower than a previous residual capacity voltage, and when supplying from the sub-battery is stopped, obtains total capacity according to the open-circuit voltages at the stop and supplying and according to the integrated currents.
