BATTERY FAILURE DETERMINATION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240297355 titled 'BATTERY FAILURE DETERMINATION DEVICE

Simplified Explanation:

This patent application describes a device that detects a failure in a second battery by monitoring the presence or absence of an electric discharge when the output voltage of a DC-DC converter is temporarily lowered in a power source circuit. This circuit supplies power to a load using the second battery and steps down or boosts the voltage from a first battery using the DC-DC converter.

  • The device determines battery failure based on the behavior of the second battery during voltage fluctuations.
  • It utilizes the output voltage of the DC-DC converter to assess the health of the second battery.
  • The detection process is triggered by irregular cycles of temporarily lowering the output voltage of the DC-DC converter.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Failure detection based on electric discharge behavior during voltage fluctuations.
  • Monitoring of the second battery's performance using the DC-DC converter output voltage.
  • Detection mechanism activated by irregular voltage lowering cycles.

Potential Applications:

Original Abstract Submitted

a battery failure determination device that determines a failure of a second battery based on presence or absence of an electric discharge from the second battery when an output voltage of a dcdc converter is temporarily lowered in a power source circuit in which electric power is supplied to a load by the second battery and in which electric power is supplied to the load by a voltage stepped down or boosted by the dcdc converter from a first battery, and a cycle of temporarily lowering the output voltage of the dcdc converter is irregular.
