  • Publication number: 20180108938
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes: (A) constructing an electrode group including a positive electrode and a negative electrode; (B) impregnating the electrode group with a first electrolyte solution; (C) charging the electrode group impregnated with the first electrolyte solution to a voltage of 4.3 V or more; and (E) manufacturing the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery by impregnating the electrode group with a second electrolyte solution after the charging. The first electrolyte solution includes a first solvent, a first lithium salt, and biphenyl. The first solvent does not include 1,2-dimethoxyethane. The second electrolyte solution includes a second solvent and a second lithium salt. The second solvent includes 1,2-dimethoxyethane.

  • Patent number: 8831822
    Abstract: A battery management system includes: measuring a surface pressure of a vehicle-mounted secondary battery (battery cell) for driving the vehicle with a lapse of time; calculating a high-rate driving frequency coefficient on the basis of the measured surface pressure at intervals of a predetermined period (24 hours); deriving a high-rate driving frequency on the basis of the number of times that the calculated high-rate driving frequency coefficient has exceeded a predetermined threshold; and selecting a replacement battery from among batteries including a high-power battery on the basis of the derived high-rate driving frequency.
