  • Publication number: 20240132026
    Abstract: A battery module with removable cells and a battery management system or charging station system that determines the number of cells to use for a given trip. Thus, the system receives trip information (starting point, destination, stops, etc.) and determines the number of cells required for the trip, optionally based on traffic conditions, weather, prior driving habits, cell state of charge (SOC), cell state of health (SOH), and the like. The system can recommend which cells to leave in the vehicle, which cells to remove from the vehicle, which cells to place in the vehicle, which cells to charge, and the like, via a visual indicator. Importantly, a number of cells actually required for the trip can be suggested, without extra cells, such that extra weight in terms of unused cells may be removed from the vehicle, thereby increasing trip efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20240131958
    Abstract: A battery system that collects and considers multiple variables to provide optimal charge and range information, either on a battery module or per cell basis. This system may provide the required charge time to complete a trip and provides a minimum SOC, which may be achieved by charging or via cell swapping. Variables considered may include expected traffic conditions for a trip, expected temperature for a trip, expected wind conditions for the trip, expected trip topography, etc., all gathered prior to the start of and/or updated during the trip. Based on this smart range estimation, the system can provide the cell swaps required, the number cells to charge, the expected charging time required, and alert the user if charge/swap related stops will be required during the trip in order to successfully complete the trip.

  • Publication number: 20240131949
    Abstract: A battery charging system with enhanced time-based charging and coupling detection, as well as battery health monitoring and battery cell selection. A user provides a time available for charging to the vehicle or a mobile device and indirectly to a charging station, or the charging station directly. The time available for charging, as well as battery health information, is shared with the charging station when the charging station detects coupling of the associated connector/coupler to the vehicle, or when the vehicle is detected within a predetermined proximity of the charging station. Subsequently, a standard charging power may be utilized or a charging power may be selected and utilized such that enhanced or optimized charging can be provided for the available time period. A battery control unit identifies degraded or faulted battery cells and charging of these battery cells is avoided or deprioritized.
