METHOD OF CONDITIONING BATTERY OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17983056 titled 'METHOD OF CONDITIONING BATTERY OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for conditioning the battery of an electric vehicle. The method involves obtaining information on the charging time of the battery at different temperatures and categorizing the charging performance into multiple levels based on this information.
- The method involves obtaining information on the charging time of the battery at different temperatures through testing.
- This information is used to categorize the charging performance into multiple levels.
- A controller uses the current battery temperature measured by a sensor to determine the charging time corresponding to that temperature.
- The controller then selects a level indicating the current battery charging performance based on the determined charging time and the categorized charging performance information.
- The selected level is displayed on a vehicle's display device.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Electric vehicle manufacturers can use this method to optimize the charging performance of their vehicles' batteries.
- Electric vehicle owners can benefit from improved battery conditioning, leading to better overall performance and longer battery life.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Battery performance can be affected by temperature, and this method helps optimize charging based on the current battery temperature.
- By categorizing charging performance into levels, users can easily understand the current state of their battery's charging performance.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved battery conditioning can lead to better overall performance and longer battery life.
- Users can easily understand the current state of their battery's charging performance through the displayed level.
- Electric vehicle manufacturers can optimize the charging performance of their vehicles' batteries, leading to increased customer satisfaction.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of conditioning a battery of an electric vehicle, includes obtaining information on a charging time varying with a battery temperature with respect to a battery through testing, and providing, to a controller, charging performance setting information that results from setting by categorizing battery charging performance into a plurality of levels based on the obtained information on the charging time varying with the battery temperature; determining, by the controller, a charging time corresponding to a current battery temperature measured through a sensor, from the measured current battery temperature using the information on the charging time varying with the battery temperature; selecting, by the controller, a level indicating current battery charging performance from the determined charging time corresponding to the current battery temperature using the charging performance setting information; and displaying, by the controller, the selected level on a display device of a vehicle.
