Patent number: 7227336Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and system for the rapid charging of a lithium-ion battery. A charging algorithm is applied to modify a charging pulses frequency, duty cycle and amplitude depending on the measurement of the battery temperature. The charging algorithm is based on the chemical Diffusion Coefficient of the battery, with this Diffusion Coefficient, in turn, dependent on the type of solvent system, the type of electrolyte, and the temperature of the battery.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2003Date of Patent: June 5, 2007Inventors: Walter A. van Schalkwijk, Richard S. Penn

Patent number: 6204632Abstract: A modular battery charging system is provided in two main embodiments. In a first embodiment, the modular battery charging system includes a power supply, an elongated track, a connector, and at least one battery charging module. The power supply converts an outlet alternating current voltage supply to a stepped-down direct current voltage supply of an amount equal to or less than about 30 volts. The elongated track includes a number of conductive strips, interfitting with each other. The battery charging module includes a housing, a charging unit supported within the housing, a number of electrical connection components to contact the track strips and to extend to the charging unit, and a battery device receiving port to receive the particular battery device in need of charging. In a second embodiment, the modular battery charging system includes a power supply and one or more battery charging module modules.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 1999Date of Patent: March 20, 2001Assignee: SelfchargeInventors: David S. Nierescher, Walter A. van Schalkwijk, Robert M. Paratore

Patent number: 5537042Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for unobtrusively measuring physical properties in electrochemical processes occurring in a predefined volume, such as the state of charge in an electrochemical battery. The invention provides for a coil (22) or (42) positioned relative to the predefined volume to minimize the reluctance path between the coil and the electrochemical process, with the winding axis of the coil generally transverse to a surface bounding the predefined volume. In this position, an alternating current is applied to the coil to generate an oscillatory magnetic field. Preferably, the coil includes a core (24) or a backing plate (46) for concentrating the magnetic field in a direction towards the process in the predefined volume. The physical properties are determined based upon a measurement of the electrical complex impedance of the coil, and data correlating the physical properties of the process with the electrical complex impedance of the coil.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 1994Date of Patent: July 16, 1996Assignee: ELDEC CorporationInventors: Jon F. Beutler, Bernard J. Burreson, Walter A. Van Schalkwijk, Delbert F. Flagg, Jr., Gregory A. Kromholtz, Jeffrey J. Green
