SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BATTERY ARCHITECTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18060152 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BATTERY ARCHITECTURE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a battery architecture with fuses connected between battery cells and charge ports.
- The first fuse is connected between a first battery cell and a second battery cell.
- The second fuse is connected between the second battery cell and a terminal of a charge port.
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in electric vehicles, portable electronic devices, and renewable energy storage systems.
Problems Solved
1. Prevents overcharging or over-discharging of battery cells. 2. Enhances safety by isolating faulty cells from the rest of the battery pack.
Benefits
1. Improved battery pack longevity. 2. Enhanced safety features. 3. Better overall performance of the battery system.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing battery performance in electric vehicles for longer driving ranges.
Possible Prior Art
