BATTERY SYSTEM AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240291294 titled 'BATTERY SYSTEM AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF
The abstract describes a battery system with a charging circuit and multiple battery packs, each containing a battery cell and a battery processor. The main processor sends a charging signal to each battery processor using a bidirectional charger, initiating a charging sequence for each battery pack.
- The battery system includes a bidirectional charger and a main processor for charging.
- Each battery pack consists of a battery cell and a battery processor.
- The main processor transmits a charging signal to each battery processor via the bidirectional charger.
- The battery processor performs constant current (cc) charging in a predefined order.
- After cc charging is complete, the battery processor simultaneously performs constant voltage (cv) charging for all battery packs.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Energy storage systems - Portable electronic devices
Problems Solved: - Efficient and controlled charging of multiple battery packs - Optimization of charging sequence for improved battery performance
Benefits: - Extended battery life - Faster charging times - Enhanced safety features
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Battery Charging System for Electric Vehicles This technology can be utilized in electric vehicle charging stations, energy storage facilities, and consumer electronics manufacturing.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the bidirectional charger improve the charging process? 2. What are the advantages of sequential cc charging followed by simultaneous cv charging in battery packs?
Original Abstract Submitted
a battery system includes: a charging circuit comprising a bidirectional charger and a main processor; and a plurality of battery packs, wherein each of the plurality of battery packs comprises a battery cell and a battery processor, wherein the main processor is configured to transmit, by using the bidirectional charger, to the battery processor of each of the plurality of battery packs, a charging signal to charge the battery cell of each of the plurality of battery packs, wherein the battery processor is configured to: based on receiving the charging signal, sequentially perform constant current (cc) charging of each of the plurality of battery packs according to a predefined order, and based on the cc charging of the plurality of battery packs being completed, simultaneously perform constant voltage (cv) charging of each of the plurality of battery packs.
