SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VARIABLE DISCHARGING TECHNIQUES OF A BATTERY CELL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17860806 Titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VARIABLE DISCHARGING TECHNIQUES OF A BATTERY CELL'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method to improve the lifetime and capacity of lithium-ion batteries by adjusting the discharging protocols. A battery management unit controller monitors the number of cycles the battery cells have undergone and adjusts the cut-off voltage accordingly. This adjustment helps to prolong the battery's lifespan and maintain its capacity.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure is directed to variable discharging protocols for one or more battery cells of a lithium-ion battery that improve the lifetime of the lithium-ion battery and/or the cell capacity of the battery. A battery management unit (BMU) controller of the lithium-ion battery may determine a number of cycles undergone by the one or more battery cells and modify a cut-off voltage (e.g., a lower cut-off voltage) based on the number of cycles. For example, the BMU controller may decrease the LCV after the number of cycles exceeds a threshold or is within a threshold range.
