  • Patent number: 12000901
    Abstract: A system for an electric vehicle includes a hysteresis module configured to calculate a plurality of hysteresis state components of a battery based on a measured current and a respective hysteresis transit rate, calculate an overall hysteresis state of the battery based on the plurality of hysteresis state components, and calculate a hysteresis voltage of the battery based on the overall hysteresis state, and a state of charge (SOC) module configured to calculate an SOC of the battery based in part on the hysteresis voltage.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 24, 2022
    Date of Patent: June 4, 2024
    Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLC
    Inventors: Charles W. Wampler, II, Thanh-Son Dao
  • Patent number: 11774514
    Abstract: A method for identifying a cell quality during cell formation includes: conducting a beginning of life cycling following an initial cell formation charge of multiple cells; collecting and preprocessing a discharge data set generated by one of the multiple cells during the beginning of life cycling; calculating a statistical variance from the discharge data set identifying an estimated probability of meeting a target cell usage time; and projecting a life span of the multiple cells.

  • Patent number: 11668759
    Abstract: A method of analyzing the quality of a battery cell includes performing a high-throughput quality check on the battery cell with a quality control system, assessing a quality score to the battery cell, with quality score identifying the battery cell as low-quality or high-quality, and performing a comprehensive quality check on the battery cell if identified as low-quality. The method further includes assessing an enhanced quality score to the battery cell superseding the quality score of the quality control system identifying the battery cell as confirmed low-quality or confirmed high-quality and providing revised production instructions for manufacturing successive battery cells if confirmed low-quality.
