METHOD OF CHARGING PLURALITY OF BATTERY CELLS AND CONTROLLER FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17538177 titled 'METHOD OF CHARGING PLURALITY OF BATTERY CELLS AND CONTROLLER FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a battery charging circuit for charging batteries. The circuit includes multiple switches that are connected in series and parallel to control the current applied to the batteries.
- The circuit includes a first switch connected in series between a power supply and the first battery cell.
- A second switch is connected in parallel to the first battery cell to adjust the current applied to it.
- A third switch is connected in parallel to the second battery cell to adjust the current applied to it.
- A fourth switch is connected in series between the first and second battery cells.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Charging various types of batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, etc.
- Can be used in electric vehicles, portable electronic devices, renewable energy systems, etc.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a controlled charging process for batteries, preventing overcharging or undercharging.
- Allows for adjusting the current applied to each battery cell, optimizing the charging process.
Benefits of this technology:
- Efficient and safe charging of batteries.
- Extends the lifespan of batteries by preventing overcharging.
- Flexibility in adjusting the charging current for different battery types and sizes.
Original Abstract Submitted
A battery charging circuit for charging batteries includes a first switch connected in series between a first pole of a power supply and a first pole of the first battery cell, a second switch connected in parallel between the first pole of the first battery cell and a second pole of the first battery cell configured to adjust a size of a current applied to the first battery cell, a third switch connected in parallel between a first pole of the second battery cell and a second pole of the second battery cell, the third switch being configured to adjust a size of a current applied to the second battery cell, and a fourth switch connected in series between the second pole of the first battery cell and the first pole of the second battery cell.
