Battery Management Apparatus - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18033601 titled 'Battery Management Apparatus
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a battery management apparatus that includes a shunt resistor connected to a battery and a voltage generation unit. The voltage generation unit generates two output values that have a difference corresponding to the voltage applied to the shunt resistor when charging over-current or discharging over-current flows in the shunt resistor.
- The battery management apparatus includes a shunt resistor connected to a battery.
- A voltage generation unit is configured to generate a first output value and a second output value.
- The difference between the first and second output values corresponds to the magnitude of the voltage applied to the shunt resistor.
- This difference is specifically related to charging over-current or discharging over-current flowing in the shunt resistor.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Battery management systems in electric vehicles.
- Energy storage systems for renewable energy sources.
- Portable electronic devices with rechargeable batteries.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Accurate monitoring of charging and discharging currents in a battery.
- Detection of over-current conditions in a battery system.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved safety by detecting over-current conditions.
- Enhanced battery management and optimization.
- Accurate monitoring of battery performance and health.
Original Abstract Submitted
A battery management apparatus includes a shunt resistor connected to a battery and a voltage generation unit configured to generate a first output value and a second output value which have a difference therebetween corresponding to a magnitude of a voltage applied to the shunt resistor, in which the difference between the first output value and the second output value corresponds to the magnitude of the voltage applied to the shunt resistor when charging over-current or discharging over-current flows in the shunt resistor.
