  • Patent number: 11437827
    Abstract: A method for controlling a current being fed to a battery pack including a plurality of battery cells connected in series and providing an output battery voltage includes the steps of: feeding a relatively low current through a resistor being arranged in series with the battery pack; and measuring the voltage across the resistor, thereby obtaining a value of the current. A system for controlling a current being fed to a battery pack is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20120179330
    Abstract: A method is provided for enabling at least one function to be stored in a vehicle communication system in a heavy vehicle or working machine. The system includes information about each function and information about a respective output signal relating to each function. The system further includes information about a respective function identity code unique for each function. In the method, a master Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in the system receives an actuator identity code which relates to an actuator connected to the system, the master ECU compares the received actuator identity code with the function identity codes, and the master ECU assigns a function with a function identity code that corresponds with the actuator identity code so that the actuator is enabled to control the output signal relating to the assigned function.
