Patent number: 11977126Abstract: In one aspect, a computer-implemented method may include receiving charge cycle data pertaining to a battery pack. The method may include determining, based on the charge cycle data, whether a noise level of a battery management system exceeds a first threshold. In response to determining the noise level exceeds the first threshold, the method may include determining an initial state of charge of the battery pack using coulomb counting by reversing the charge cycle data. In response to determining the noise level does not exceed the first threshold, the method may include determining whether a rest time before charge cycle exceeds a second threshold. In response to determining the rest time before charge cycle does not exceed the second threshold, the method may include determining the initial state of charge of the battery pack using coulomb counting by reversing the charge cycle data.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2023Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Eatron Technologies LimitedInventors: Ali Ibrahim Ozkan, Muharrem Ugur Yavas, Can Kurtulus
