Abstract: A battery control module for use with a battery includes a voltage measuring module that measures battery voltage and a current measuring module that measures battery current. A power limit module communicates with the current and voltage measuring modules and once every time period estimates a battery current limit that corresponds with a future time period. The battery current limit is based on a predetermined voltage limit of the battery and a battery current and a battery voltage that correspond with a time period that precedes the future time period.

Abstract: A battery control module is provided for use with a battery and includes a voltage measuring module that measures battery voltage, a current measuring module that measures battery current, and a state of charge (SOC) module. The SOC module communicates with the current and voltage measuring modules, determines a reset voltage based on the battery current, compares the battery voltage and the reset voltage, and resets a battery SOC based on an outcome of the comparison.
