BATTERY PROTECTION METHODS AND SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18034307 titled 'BATTERY PROTECTION METHODS AND SYSTEMS

Simplified Explanation

The present invention is a battery protection method and system that aims to prevent safety issues such as ignition or heating. It introduces a method of classifying protection operations based on the likelihood of these safety issues occurring. Additionally, the invention implements protection algorithms corresponding to each classification while maintaining the existing protection operation/release condition.

  • The invention includes a method and system for permanently blocking battery operation if the battery bank continues to experience overvoltage even after the initial action.
  • The invention checks for overvoltage in a specific battery bank and takes primary measures to prevent overcharging.
  • The invention aims to prevent safety issues in advance by implementing proactive protection measures.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Electric vehicles: This battery protection method and system can be applied to electric vehicles to ensure the safety of the battery and prevent potential hazards.
  • Energy storage systems: Battery protection is crucial in energy storage systems to prevent accidents and ensure the longevity of the batteries.
  • Portable electronic devices: This technology can be implemented in smartphones, laptops, and other portable electronic devices to enhance battery safety.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Safety concerns: The invention addresses safety issues such as ignition or heating that can occur in batteries.
  • Overvoltage protection: The method and system prevent overvoltage in battery banks, which can lead to battery damage or safety hazards.
  • Proactive measures: By implementing protection algorithms based on the likelihood of safety issues, the invention takes proactive measures to prevent accidents.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced battery safety: The battery protection method and system provide an additional layer of safety to prevent accidents and ensure the safe operation of batteries.
  • Extended battery lifespan: By preventing overvoltage and other safety issues, the invention helps prolong the lifespan of batteries.
  • Proactive protection: The classification of protection operations and implementation of corresponding algorithms allow for proactive measures to prevent safety issues before they occur.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present invention relates to a battery protection method and system, and relates to a method of classifying protection operations based on the possibility of occurrence of safety issues such as ignition/heating, and additionally implementing protection algorithms corresponding to each while maintaining the existing protection operation/release condition, and relates to a method and system for protecting a battery in a way to prevent safety issues in advance by permanently blocking battery operation if the over voltage of the battery bank continues to occur even after the first action before reaching the cell unbalance protection operation condition, check whether an over voltage occurs in a specific battery bank, and take the primary measures to prevent overcharge of the battery bank.
