BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18221681 titled 'BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The battery management system described in the patent application involves controlling the temperature of different types of battery units within the system. Specifically, when the system temperature is at or below a reference temperature, the control device adjusts the temperature of a first battery unit (LFP cell) to be higher than that of a second battery unit (ternary cell).

  • The battery management system includes multiple battery units connected in parallel.
  • The control device regulates the temperature of each battery unit within the system.
  • The system comprises a first battery unit with an LFP cell and a second battery unit with a ternary battery.
  • Temperature control is adjusted based on the reference temperature of the system.

Potential Applications

The technology described in this patent application could be applied in various industries such as electric vehicles, renewable energy storage systems, and portable electronic devices.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the issue of temperature control in battery management systems, ensuring optimal performance and safety of the batteries.

Original Abstract Submitted

The battery management system includes a plurality of battery units connected in parallel to each other, and a control device that executes temperature control for each battery of the plurality of battery units. The plurality of battery units includes a first battery unit having a LFP cell and a second battery unit having a ternary battery. When the temperature of the battery management system is equal to or lower than the reference temperature, the control device executes the first temperature control so that the temperature of LFP cell is higher than the temperature of the ternary cell.
