  • Patent number: 11108264
    Abstract: The present invention provides a battery management system, which is applicable to at least one battery string, wherein each battery string comprises a plurality of batteries connected in series. The battery management system comprises a plurality of battery sensors and a main controller. Each battery sensor measures at least one corresponding battery and has a first communication module, and each battery sensor issues a broadcast through the first communication module when its power is activated. The main controller has a second communication module. The second communication module and the first communication modules are signal connected in parallel. The main controller executes a web server program to provide a web page. When the main controller receives the broadcast, the main controller displays an addressing interface by the web page, so as to assign each battery sensor to at least one corresponding battery to complete the addressing of the battery sensors.

  • Patent number: 11088400
    Abstract: A battery management system comprises a battery manager and battery sensors for sensing related information of each battery in a battery string. The batteries in the battery string are divided into a plurality of first groups. The battery sensors are divided into a plurality of second groups. Each second group senses the batteries in a corresponding first group, and each battery sensor senses at least one battery. Each of a part of the communication ports of the battery manager is signally connected to the battery sensors of one of the second groups. The number of the battery sensors in each second group is less than or equal to the number of battery sensors that each communication port can support. The battery manager merges the battery sensors signally connected to the part of the communication ports into one group according to a merging command, and regards the merged battery sensors as battery sensors of a same battery string accordingly.
