  • Publication number: 20230378793
    Abstract: The present invention provides a screening method for rechargeable battery cells. A predetermined target capacity 2%˜10% or a charging voltage lower than a nominal voltage of the rechargeable battery cells is adopted to charge the rechargeable battery cells, when approaching fully charged, observing the holding currents for each rechargeable battery cells and then screening the rechargeable battery cells based on the holding currents.

  • Publication number: 20230246460
    Abstract: This invention discloses a charging method for series rechargeable battery cells. This invention comprises a Total Voltage Follow-up Procedure (TVFP) in combination with an Artificial Intelligent Equalizing Procedure (AIEP). The TVFP detects deviation of a total voltage and accordingly modifies a trigger voltage for voltage equaling procedure; the AIEP controls the voltage difference of the series battery cells within a predetermined range.

  • Publication number: 20230223765
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and system for charging rechargeable battery cells in series. When the voltage of a specific battery cell is too high, discharge the specific battery cell, and at the same time let other battery cells with lower voltage continue to charge, so that each battery cell in series can be charged to almost the same level. This invention designs in a “Total voltage follow-up charging method”, a Battery Manage System (BMS) detects total voltage of the series-connected battery in real-time and modifies an “equalizing trigger voltage”, as the total voltage drifts the equaling function still works well.

  • Patent number: 11675013
    Abstract: The present invention provides a classification method and system for rechargeable batteries based on stable charging current or current leakage. A charging current should be zero theoretically when a rechargeable battery is fully charged, however, due to self-discharging effect, there exists a current leakage even after the battery is fully charged. Rechargeable batteries can be classified based on their stable charging current after being fully charged. Different classified rechargeable batteries can be adopted for different purposes.

  • Publication number: 20130122641
    Abstract: A solar cell having buried contacts is provided. Curved trenches are formed on a surface of a Si substrate to form the buried contacts. The curved trenches have deep depths with wafer break prevented. The buried contacts have good efficiency on collecting electrons obtained from conversion by the longer wavelength light. The present invention is fit for mass production with a high yield, a simple fabrication procedure, a low cost and a good performance.

  • Publication number: 20120222731
    Abstract: The present disclosure coats an amorphous silicon (Si) layer on a doped Si substrate of a solar cell. Or, a silicon dioxide (SiO2) layer is grown on the doped Si substrate and beneath the amorphous Si layer. A heterojunction interface and a homojunction interface are formed in the solar cell in a one-time diffusion. Thus, a heterojunction solar cell can be easily fabricated and utilities compatible to those used in modern production can still be used for reducing cost.
