Abstract: This disclosure provides a protection circuit of a battery module. The protection circuit includes a master microcontroller, a slave microcontroller, a charging path switch, a discharging path switch, and a switch controller. When the master microcontroller is operating in a normal state, the master microcontroller periodically sends a pulse signal to the slave microcontroller, and enables the switch controller, and then the switch controller enabled may be used to control the turning on or off of the charge path switch or the discharge path switch. When the master microcontroller is operating in an abnormal state, the slave microcontroller does not receive the pulse signal from the master microcontroller, the slave microcontroller disables the switch controller so that the switch controller disabled will be unable to control the turning on or off of the charge path switch or the discharge path switch.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a battery device comprising a plurality of battery cells and at least one heat dissipation container. The heat dissipation container includes a frame and two thin films. The frame includes a perforation portion. The thin films are connected to the frame, and cover the perforation portion of the frame to form an enclosed space between the thin films and the frame. A liquid of water or aqueous solution is placed in the enclosed space. A bottom of each of the battery cells is adjacent to the corresponding thin film of the heat dissipation container. When the temperature of one of the battery cells is too high, the thin film of the heat dissipation container will damage to generate a broken hole. Then, the liquid will spray out of the heat dissipation container, and contact the battery cell to reduce the temperature of the battery cell.

Abstract: The invention provides a battery monitoring system comprising a battery monitoring device and at least one battery pack in storage. The battery pack comprises at least one battery core, a controller, and a temperature sensor. When the controller of the battery pack senses that a temperature of the battery core is higher than a safe temperature value, it issues an alarm signal, and directly transmits the alarm signal to the battery monitoring device in a short distance wireless communication, or transmits the alarm signal to the battery monitoring device via a multi-hop transmission of multiple battery packs in the short distance wireless communication. The alarm signal received by the battery monitoring device will be displayed on an alarm notification unit. Accordingly, the battery monitoring system can instantly monitor the temperature of the battery pack in storage to reduce the probability of burning or exploding of the battery pack.

Abstract: The invention provides a battery module for improving safety, which comprises at least one fixing frame, a plurality of battery cells, a plurality of conductive sheets and a plurality of protection units. The battery cells are arranged on the fixing frame. Each conductive sheet is connected with two battery cells in series, each of the protection units is respectively connected with two conductive sheets, and the battery cells connected with the conductive sheets are connected in parallel via the protection unit. When the temperature of the protection unit is greater than a preset temperature, the protection unit will be blown, thereby preventing the battery cells from charging the defective battery cell, resulting in the defective battery cell to melt or explode.

Abstract: The invention provides an estimation method for state of charge (SOC) of battery. A reference SOC is inquired from a look-up table based on a voltage of battery detected. A voltage threshold is subtracted from the voltage of battery to obtain a voltage difference. A current SOC or the reference SOC is divided by the voltage difference to obtain a first slope or a second slope. The first slope is divided by the second slope to obtain an adjustment ratio. An electric charge capacity for charging the battery is counted by a coulomb counting method to obtain a count capacity of discharging that is multiplied by the adjustment ratio to obtain an adjustment value. The adjustment value is subtracted from a previously recorded remaining capacity to obtain a new remaining capacity. The new remaining capacity is divided by a full charge capacity to estimate a new SOC of battery.

The plastic protective layer is formed on the partial surface of the conductive sheet by injection molding to prevent the electrolyte leaked from the defective battery cell from contacting the conductive sheet, causing rise in temperature of the battery cell and causes melt or explosion of the battery cell, which is helpful to improve the safety of the battery module.

Abstract: A battery powered device includes a battery pack, at least one switch, a power management chip, and a pre-powered circuit. The pre-powered circuit comprises a buck and current-limiting module. The buck and current-limiting module comprises at least one zener diode and at least one current-limiting resistor. When the switch is turned off, the battery pack will be powered to a system device by the pre-powered circuit. Thus, the battery pack can be powered to the system device by the pre-powered circuit even if the battery powered device is operated in a standby mode. Besides, the power management chip can be operated in the standby state when the battery powered device is powered by the pre-powered circuit, so as to reduce the consumption of the battery energy and therefore extend the powered time of the battery powered device.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for estimating a battery capacity of an electronic device. When a current or an average current of the battery is zero, a reference capacity is inquired from a look-up table based on a voltage of the battery. When a previously remaining capacity is greater than a reference capacity, a deduction process of a self-consumable capacity is performed one or more times for a previously recorded remaining capacity to obtain a new recorded remaining capacity smaller than the reference capacity. When the current of the battery is less than zero, a deduction process of a count capacity of discharging is performed one or more times for the previously recorded remaining capacity until a power of the battery is exhausted to obtain a first offset capacity. The first offset capacity is deducted from a previously recorded full charge capacity to estimate a new full charge capacity.

Abstract: A control module adapted to brush and brushless motors essentially applies a magnetic sensor to generate detecting signals in response to the status of the motor and deliver those signals to a control unit. The control unit further converts the signals into discrete diverting signals for driving the rotating direction, phase commands for controlling the motor phase, and a pulse width modulation (PWM) for adjusting the motor speed. A phase refining circuit thence receives those transformed signals and confirms merely a selected phase command attendant with the diverting and PWM signals for assisting a stable operation of the motor. Therefore, such control module not only applies to different types of motors but uses the separate transmissions of the signals responsible for designated instructions to attain facile controls and appropriate adjustments to the errors of the motor phase or motor velocity and efficiently decrease the occurrence of breaking the motor.
