SECONDARY BATTERY DIAGNOSIS METHOD, SECONDARY BATTERY DIAGNOSIS DEVICE, AND SECONDARY BATTERY DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18581459 titled 'SECONDARY BATTERY DIAGNOSIS METHOD, SECONDARY BATTERY DIAGNOSIS DEVICE, AND SECONDARY BATTERY DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method for diagnosing a secondary battery that involves rapidly charging the battery at a low temperature and then storing it in a specific temperature range. The method evaluates the voltage drop of the battery before and after storage to assess its condition.

  • The method involves charging the secondary battery quickly at a low temperature.
  • The battery is then stored in a temperature range between 45°C or higher and 70°C or lower for a set period.
  • The diagnosis is based on the degree of voltage drop observed in the battery before and after storage.
  • The secondary battery contains a negative electrode with a significant amount of active material with an average operating potential of 1.0 V vs Li/Li or higher.

Potential Applications: This technology could be applied in the automotive industry for electric vehicles, portable electronic devices, and energy storage systems.

Problems Solved: The method addresses the need for a reliable and efficient way to diagnose the condition of secondary batteries, especially in challenging temperature conditions.

Original Abstract Submitted

A secondary battery diagnosis method rapidly charges a secondary battery at a low temperature and stores the secondary battery in a range of 45° C. or higher and 70° C. or lower for a predetermined period. The method determines a degree of voltage drop of the secondary battery between before and after storing the secondary battery. The secondary battery includes a negative electrode in which an active material having an average operating potential of 1.0 VvsLi/Li or more occupies 50% by weight or more of a negative electrode active material-containing layer.
