BATTERY SYSTEM DIAGNOSING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18018789 titled 'BATTERY SYSTEM DIAGNOSING APPARATUS AND METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a technology for diagnosing defective battery cells in a battery system at an early stage.

  • The technology includes a battery system diagnosing apparatus.
  • The apparatus measures the end voltage of each battery cell during charging or discharging.
  • A processor accumulates the end voltage data over time.
  • The processor then analyzes the accumulated end voltage trend to detect a battery cell with a defective electrode tab.
  • The technology aims to effectively diagnose a defective battery cell among a plurality of battery cells in a battery system.
  • The early detection of defective battery cells can help prevent further damage or failure of the battery system.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed is a battery diagnosing technology capable of effectively diagnosing a defective battery cell among a plurality of battery cells included in a battery system at an early stage. The battery system diagnosing apparatus diagnoses a battery system including a plurality of battery cells having electrode tabs therein, and includes a voltage measuring unit for measuring an end voltage at every charging or discharging for each of the plurality of battery cells; and a processor for accumulating the end voltage of each battery cell measured by the voltage measuring unit over time and detecting a battery cell having a defect in the electrode tab among the plurality of battery cells based on the accumulated end voltage trend.
