  • Publication number: 20230204675
    Abstract: A method for diagnosing a battery pack having a configuration in which a plurality of cells are connected in series uses a system for obtaining detected data including the current and temperature of the battery pack and the voltage of each cell. An electric charge capacity and a state of charge (SOC) of each cell is calculated using the current and the temperature, the voltage of each cell, an open circuit voltage (OCV)-SOC function, and an OCV-resistance table. An amount of unbalance, which is an estimated value of the SOC, and the resistance for each cell when the battery pack is fully charged is calculated; and the energy capacity of the battery pack using the electric charge capacity, the amount of unbalance, and the resistances are calculated. As a result, the energy capacity of the battery pack can be calculated accurately, even in an unbalanced state.
