摘要： A battery monitoring system is for a battery string(s) at a geographical location, where the battery string(s) includes a plurality of series-connected batteries. The system may include wireless battery monitors each associated with a respective battery, a wireless string monitor associated with the battery string(s), and a wireless access point for communicating with the wireless battery monitors and the wireless string monitor at the location. A battery monitoring cloud server may communicate with the at least one access point via a wide area network (WAN) to remotely determine a configuration of the batteries within the battery strings based upon the wireless battery monitors and the wireless string monitor, remotely collect diagnostic measurement data for the batteries from the wireless battery monitors and the wireless string monitors, and remotely process the collected diagnostic measurement data based upon the determined configuration of the batteries to determine fault conditions and generate alerts accordingly.

摘要： Systems of an electrical vehicle and the operations thereof are provided. In particular, a vehicle is described with the ability to gather State of Charge (SOC) information as well as State of Health (SOH) information for one or more batteries in a vehicle and then display both SOC and SOH information to a driver of the vehicle as well as other interested parties. The displayed SOH information may be accompanied by suggestions to modify driving and/or charging behaviors that will improve or contribute to a slower degradation in the SOH of the batteries.

摘要： In embodiments, an apparatus may include a battery life monitor. The battery life monitor may, in some embodiments, receive a battery level indicator indicative of a current charge level of a battery that is coupled with the apparatus and a first temperature that may indicate a temperature of a current location of the apparatus. The battery life monitor may also receive one or more additional temperatures that indicate respective temperatures of one or more locations in which the apparatus is likely to be operated prior to discharge of the current charge level of the battery. Based at least in part on the current charge level, the first temperature indicator, and the one or more additional temperatures, the battery life monitor may calculate one or more battery life estimates that correspond with the one or more locations. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

摘要： One aspect of the present disclosure is an inspection apparatus of a battery pack for an on-site electric apparatus, which comprises a coupler, a discharger, a changer, a discharge performing device, a voltage value detector, and a calculator. The changer detects one of a nominal voltage value of the battery pack coupled to the coupler and a voltage value of a battery in the battery pack, and reduces a discharge time of the battery and/or a discharge current value of the battery as the detected value is larger.
