  • Publication number: 20240053406
    Abstract: The invention presents a method for estimating a direct current internal resistance of a battery, which defines a depth of discharge detection interval including a first threshold and a second threshold. When the battery is discharging, a currently battery voltage are periodically measured, a currently depth of discharge is calculated, and an open-circuit voltage is queried. The currently battery voltage is subtracted from the open-circuit voltage to obtain a voltage difference. The voltage difference is continuously accumulated to obtain a currently accumulated voltage difference. The currently depth of discharge reaches the first threshold or the second threshold, the currently accumulated voltage difference is a first accumulated voltage difference or a second accumulated voltage difference.

  • Publication number: 20230420958
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a protection circuit of a battery module. The protection circuit includes a master microcontroller, a slave microcontroller, a charging path switch, a discharging path switch, and a switch controller. When the master microcontroller is operating in a normal state, the master microcontroller periodically sends a pulse signal to the slave microcontroller, and enables the switch controller, and then the switch controller enabled may be used to control the turning on or off of the charge path switch or the discharge path switch. When the master microcontroller is operating in an abnormal state, the slave microcontroller does not receive the pulse signal from the master microcontroller, the slave microcontroller disables the switch controller so that the switch controller disabled will be unable to control the turning on or off of the charge path switch or the discharge path switch.

  • Publication number: 20230411972
    Abstract: A driving circuit applied to a protection switch of a battery module is disclosed. The driving circuit includes a reverse switch, a non-reverse switch, a capacitor, and a storing energy component. The reverse switch or the non-reverse switch is turned on or off by a PWM signal. When the PWM signal is at a high level, the reverse switch is turned off, the non-reverse switch is turned on, and the capacitor is charged via a battery total voltage to form a storage voltage on the capacitor. When the PWM signal is at a low level, the reverse switch is turned on, the non-reverse switch is turned off, a reference voltage is connected to the capacitor via the reverse switch to form a boosted voltage superimposed by the reference voltage and the storage voltage. Afterwards, the boosted voltage can be used to drive the protection switch to be turned on.

  • Publication number: 20230143440
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a battery management system. The battery management system comprises a buck converter, a discharge loop, and a microprocessor. The microprocessor comprises a battery status monitoring circuit, a timer, and a controller. When the status of the battery is in a static state, the timer starts counting a time. If the time counted by the timer is greater than or equal to a time threshold, the controller controls that the buck converter executes a bucking to an output voltage of the battery, and then controls that the discharge loop executes a discharging to the battery. Accordingly, when the status of the battery is in a static state, the battery capacity can be discharged to a safe value moderately, so that the safety of the long-storage of the battery can be ensured, and the life of the battery can be prolonged.
