Vehicle Battery Charging System and Battery Charging Method Thereof - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240131962 titled 'Vehicle Battery Charging System and Battery Charging Method Thereof
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure relates to a vehicle battery charging system and a battery charging method thereof. The method includes operating a first charging mode and a second charging mode based on the voltage of the second battery.
- The battery charging system includes an on-board charger, a first battery, and a second battery with a lower rated voltage.
- The first charging mode involves turning on a switch between the on-board charger and the first battery while turning off a switch between the on-board charger and the second battery when the voltage of the second battery exceeds a threshold value.
- The second charging mode includes turning off the switch between the on-board charger and the first battery and turning on the switch between the on-board charger and the second battery when the voltage of the second battery does not exceed the threshold value.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and other battery-operated vehicles to efficiently charge multiple batteries.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of managing the charging process of multiple batteries with different voltage ratings in a vehicle.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include optimized charging efficiency, extended battery life, and improved overall performance of the vehicle.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include automotive industry suppliers, electric vehicle manufacturers, and companies specializing in battery charging systems.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be systems that charge multiple batteries sequentially rather than simultaneously to prevent overcharging or undercharging.
Unanswered Questions
== How does this technology compare to traditional battery charging methods for vehicles? This article does not provide a direct comparison between this technology and traditional battery charging methods for vehicles.
== What are the specific voltage threshold values used in the first and second charging modes? The article does not specify the exact voltage threshold values used in the first and second charging modes.
Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure relates to a vehicle battery charging system and a battery charging method thereof. the present disclosure provides a battery charging method of a battery charging system including an on-board charger to convert an ac voltage from an outside into a dc voltage, a first battery, and a second battery having a lower rated voltage than that of the first battery, the battery charging method including: operating a first charging mode of turning on a first switch between the on-board charger and the first battery and turning off a second switch between the on-board charger and the second battery when a voltage of the second battery exceeds a first threshold value; and operating a second charging mode of turning off the first switch and turning on the second switch when the voltage of the second battery does not exceed the first threshold value.
