METHOD AND DEVICE WITH BATTERY SHORT CIRCUIT DETECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18074969 titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE WITH BATTERY SHORT CIRCUIT DETECTION

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes a method and device for detecting a short circuit in a battery. The method includes triggering a rest phase of the battery and determining a first time constant related to the rest voltage of the battery.

  • The method estimates a first short-resistance value by comparing the first time constant with a second time constant related to the voltage of the battery.
  • A short circuit determination for the battery is made based on the result of comparing the first short-resistance value and a second short-resistance value.
  • The first time constant and the second time constant can be determined based on either the temperature range or the charging range of the electronic device.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided are a method and device with battery short circuit detection. A method of detecting a short circuit in a battery includes: triggering a rest phase of the battery, determining a first time constant related to a rest voltage of the battery when the battery may be in the rest phase, estimating a first short-resistance value by comparing the first time constant with a second time constant related to a voltage of the battery, and making a short circuit determination for the battery based on a result of comparing the first short-resistance value and a second short-resistance value, wherein the first time constant and the second time constant may be determined with reference to either a temperature range or a charging range of the electronic device.
