  • Publication number: 20210376639
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a system for output ratio configuration of start-up battery and rapid energy storage module starts a start-up motor in a start-up mode, including a start-up battery having a voltage and a higher voltage rapid energy storage module having a voltage. The higher voltage rapid energy storage module connects the start-up battery in parallel. In the start-up mode, the voltage of the higher voltage rapid energy storage module for connecting the start-up battery in parallel is greater than the voltage of the start-up battery, which is used to set an electrical output ratio of the start-up battery and the higher voltage rapid energy storage module respectively to provide for a load current of the start-up motor. The sum of the electrical output ratio of the start-up battery plus the electrical output ratio of the higher voltage rapid energy storage module is equal to 1.

  • Publication number: 20210175725
    Abstract: A multicell battery management system is disclosed. The multicell battery management system includes N batteries and a power control device, wherein N is a positive integer. The power control device forms a charging/discharging circuit using (N?1) batteries and respectively inspects the storage capacity of each of the N batteries. The battery not allocated to the charging/discharging circuit is defined as an offline battery. When the comparison between the storage capacity of the (N?1) batteries and the storage capacity of the offline battery respectively satisfies a switching condition, the power control device selects one of the (N?1) batteries to be disconnected from the charging/discharging circuit and used as a new offline battery, and the original offline battery is added to the charging/discharging circuit. Thus, the multicell battery management system not only effectively increases battery efficiency, but also prolongs usage time and battery life.

  • Publication number: 20180316205
    Abstract: A battery power sustainability device includes a switch device and a processing circuit. The processing circuit controls the switch device to establish a parallel connection between a rapid energy storage module and a battery in a start-up mode and disconnect the parallel connection between the rapid energy storage module and the battery after entering a charging mode according to a trigger signal. When a battery-powered system stops operating, the battery-powered system generates a trigger signal to charge the rapid energy storage module. When the battery-powered system starts up, the drawn power of the battery is decreased under the help of the rapid energy storage module that has enough power, such that the using life of the battery is extended and still can achieve a normal start-up function even the battery has lower power and thereby the power of the battery can be used until exhausted completely. By means of detecting the battery performance, users can safely use up all available battery power.
