  • Patent number: 10720675
    Abstract: A system and method for prolonging a useful lifetime of an energy storage. The method includes: determining, based on a first set of test storage data of the test energy storage, a first set of test configuration parameters comprising a first maximum charge level for the test energy storage, wherein the first set of test configuration parameters corresponds to a first estimated useful life; determining, based on a second set of test storage data of the test energy storage, a second set of test configuration parameters comprising a second maximum charge level for the test energy storage, wherein the second set of test configuration parameters corresponds to a second estimated useful life; and sending, to a controller of the test energy storage, reconfiguration instructions, wherein the reconfiguration instructions are based on the second set of test configuration parameters, wherein the second estimated useful life is longer than the first estimated useful life.

  • Publication number: 20190137574
    Abstract: A system and method for prolonging battery life in solar-powered power stations (SPPSs). The method includes determining, based on battery usage data captured by a SPPS including a battery and a current regulator, a first maximum charge level, wherein the current regulator has configured the battery such that a current charge level of the battery does not exceed the first maximum charge level, wherein the first maximum charge level corresponds to a first expected useful life; determining a second maximum charge level for the battery based on the battery usage data, wherein the second maximum charge level corresponds to a second expected useful life that is longer than the first expected useful life; and sending, to the current regulator, reconfiguration instructions that are based on the second maximum charge level, wherein the current charge level of the reconfigured battery does not exceed the second maximum charge level.
