METHOD FOR CONTROLLING BATTERY PACK AND CONTROLLER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18607564 titled 'METHOD FOR CONTROLLING BATTERY PACK AND CONTROLLER

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method for controlling a battery pack with rectangular secondary batteries and a porous elastic member between them. The method includes normal discharge and refresh discharge steps to maintain the batteries' charge state.

  • The method controls a battery pack with rectangular secondary batteries and a porous elastic member.
  • It includes a normal discharge step to prevent the batteries' charge state from dropping below a preset limit.
  • A refresh discharge step is used when normal discharge is not sufficient to maintain the batteries' charge state.

Potential Applications: 1. Electric vehicles 2. Energy storage systems 3. Portable electronic devices

Problems Solved: 1. Ensuring optimal performance of battery packs 2. Preventing over-discharge of batteries 3. Extending the lifespan of batteries

Benefits: 1. Improved battery pack performance 2. Enhanced battery longevity 3. Efficient energy management

Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and consumer electronics to optimize battery performance and prolong battery life.

Questions about Battery Pack Control: 1. How does the method prevent the batteries' charge state from dropping too low? 

  - The method includes a normal discharge step to maintain the charge state above a preset limit.

2. What is the purpose of the refresh discharge step in the control method? 

  - The refresh discharge step is used when normal discharge is not sufficient to maintain the batteries' charge state.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to the present disclosure, a method for controlling a battery pack that includes a plurality of rectangular secondary batteries and a porous elastic member disposed between adjacent ones of the rectangular secondary batteries in an arrangement direction is provided. The control method includes a normal discharge step of discharging the rectangular secondary batteries such that a charge state of the rectangular secondary batteries does not become lower than a preset lower limit charge state, and a refresh discharge step of discharging the rectangular secondary batteries until the charge state of the rectangular secondary batteries becomes lower than the lower limit charge state when the normal discharge processing is not being performed.
