    Abstract: The invention provides an estimation method for state of charge (SOC) of battery. A reference SOC is inquired from a look-up table based on a voltage of battery detected. A voltage threshold is subtracted from the voltage of battery to obtain a voltage difference. A current SOC or the reference SOC is divided by the voltage difference to obtain a first slope or a second slope. The first slope is divided by the second slope to obtain an adjustment ratio. An electric charge capacity for charging the battery is counted by a coulomb counting method to obtain a count capacity of discharging that is multiplied by the adjustment ratio to obtain an adjustment value. The adjustment value is subtracted from a previously recorded remaining capacity to obtain a new remaining capacity. The new remaining capacity is divided by a full charge capacity to estimate a new SOC of battery.

    Abstract: A battery powered device includes a battery pack, at least one switch, a power management chip, and a pre-powered circuit. The pre-powered circuit comprises a buck and current-limiting module. The buck and current-limiting module comprises at least one zener diode and at least one current-limiting resistor.

Thus, the battery pack can be powered to the system device by the pre-powered circuit even if the battery powered device is operated in a standby mode. Besides, the power management chip can be operated in the standby state when the battery powered device is powered by the pre-powered circuit, so as to reduce the consumption of the battery energy and therefore extend the powered time of the battery powered device.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides an estimation method applied to a state of health of a battery, which executes a recharging to a battery when a battery voltage is lower than a threshold voltage. During the recharging, a battery state of health estimation procedure is performed from a first depth of discharge detection point to a second depth of discharge detection point. During the battery state of health estimation procedure, a voltage difference between a current battery voltage and an initial open-circuit voltage is accumulated over time from the first depth of discharge detection point to the second depth of discharge detection point to obtain an accumulation of current sampled voltage difference. An accumulation of estimated DC internal resistances can be equivalently obtained by the accumulation of current sampled voltage difference. Afterwards, the state of health of the battery can be determined based on the accumulation of estimated DC internal resistance.

    Abstract: The invention presents a method for estimating a direct current internal resistance of a battery, which defines a depth of discharge detection interval including a first threshold and a second threshold. When the battery is discharging, a currently battery voltage are periodically measured, a currently depth of discharge is calculated, and an open-circuit voltage is queried. The currently battery voltage is subtracted from the open-circuit voltage to obtain a voltage difference. The voltage difference is continuously accumulated to obtain a currently accumulated voltage difference. The currently depth of discharge reaches the first threshold or the second threshold, the currently accumulated voltage difference is a first accumulated voltage difference or a second accumulated voltage difference. A difference value between the first accumulated voltage difference and the second accumulated voltage difference is divided by a discharging amount in the depth of discharge detection interval to obtain the direct current internal resistance.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides a protection circuit of a battery module. The protection circuit includes a master microcontroller, a slave microcontroller, a charging path switch, a discharging path switch, and a switch controller. When the master microcontroller is operating in a normal state, the master microcontroller periodically sends a pulse signal to the slave microcontroller, and enables the switch controller, and then the switch controller enabled may be used to control the turning on or off of the charge path switch or the discharge path switch. When the master microcontroller is operating in an abnormal state, the slave microcontroller does not receive the pulse signal from the master microcontroller, the slave microcontroller disables the switch controller so that the switch controller disabled will be unable to control the turning on or off of the charge path switch or the discharge path switch.
