Publication number: 20220229120Abstract: A used secondary battery module management system server manages a manufacture of a battery assembly. The server stores, in a memory, a correspondence relationship of each of secondary battery modules among identification information, ranks, and status information. The server extracts an available rank from the ranks in response to a rebuilding request for the battery assembly. The available rank is a rank in which the number of the secondary battery modules having the status information indicating that the secondary battery modules are available is equal to or larger than the number of the secondary battery modules required to constitute the battery assembly. The server receives, from an external terminal, the identification information on each of selection secondary battery modules having an identical rank.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2022Publication date: July 21, 2022Inventors: Keisuke GOTO, Haruki TANAKA, Mayu IIDA, Hiroyasu SUZUKI, Nobuo YAMAMOTO, Shogo SUZUKI

Patent number: 9669782Abstract: Discharge of electricity from a drive battery is started, and after a lapse of a predetermined time from the start of supply of electric power to a V2X device or power source apparatus, quick charging contactors are opened (S10-S16) and then failure diagnosis is executed (S18). If a failure is detected, a warning is initiated and restart of the electric power supply is inhibited (S20, S20, S32, S34). On the other hand, if no failure is detected, an open circuit voltage is detected, and the remaining capacity of the drive battery is calculated based on the open circuit voltage (S24-S26). The calculated remaining battery capacity is memorized (S28). Subsequently, the electric power supply from the drive battery to the V2X device or power source apparatus is restarted (S30).Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2015Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: MITSUBISHI JIDOSHA KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Takafumi Suzuki, Hiroyasu Suzuki
