  • Methods and systems for determining battery charge or formation completeness
    Patent number: 10838014
    Abstract: A battery charging system with a power source for charging of one or more batteries by a control module having a microprocessor for readable instruction code, controlling flow of current and voltage to the output electrical components or circuits with sensors attached to each circuit, wherein the sensors provide information at least indicative of resistance in the battery corresponding to that circuit to an analysis module for computing the rate of change of resistance and comparing the rate to a completion criterion for each battery.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 12, 2016
    Date of Patent: November 17, 2020
    Assignee: Charged Engineering Inc.
    Inventors: Lukas Swan, Christopher White, Justin Deveau
  • Systems and methods for determining state-of-charge using Tafel slope
    Patent number: 10712392
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods for battery charging and formation are disclosed herein that charge, or discharge, one or more batteries and stop charging or discharging each battery once it has reached a desired state-of-charge, as determined by comparing calculated Tafel slope to a reference Tafel slope for the battery. Computer-readable instructions and/or hardware are also provided for installation upon a previously existing battery charging system or battery discharging system.
