Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a battery assembly configured to be mounted within at least one wing of at least one aircraft. The battery assembly includes at least one battery module which includes at least one battery cell. The battery assembly further includes at least one mounting structure configured to mount the battery module, along a mounting side of the battery module, to at least one support structure within the wing. The battery assembly is free of a mounting structure for mounting the battery module along a second side of the battery module, the second side being substantially opposite from the mounting side. The present disclosure further relates to wing of an aircraft, an aircraft, and method for installing a battery assembly.

Abstract: A battery management system and method for performing a battery state and, optionally, health parameter observation is disclosed, in particular, cell state-of-charge (SOC) observation, with two redundant, independent and dissimilar lanes. Specifically, a SOC determination in a first one of the lanes is based on Coulomb Counting. The other lane employs a different algorithm than Coulomb Counting. In some embodiments, a battery health observation is further performed independently by the two lanes, wherein the first lane employs an aging model and the other lane a different (dissimilar) algorithm. On the basis of state and health observation, state (state of function) of the battery system can be predicted to determine a range of flight in accordance with a predetermined flight profile.

Abstract: A battery management system and method for performing a battery health parameter observation, in particular, cell impedance observation, with two redundant, independent and dissimilar lanes. Specifically, a cell impedance observation in a first one of the lanes is based on Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy, EIS. The other lane employs a different algorithm than EIS. In embodiments, a battery state observation is further performed independently by the two lanes, wherein again the first lane employs EIS and the other lane a different (dissimilar) algorithm. On the basis of state and health observation, state (state of function) of the battery system can be predicted to determine a range of flight in accordance with a predetermined flight profile.
