  • Patent number: 8975872
    Abstract: A circuit for heating a battery includes a switch unit, control module, damping component, energy storage circuit, and superposition unit. The energy storage circuit forms a loop with the battery, and includes current and charge storage components. The damping component, switch unit, current storage component, and charge storage component connect in series. The control module switches on the switch unit so current flows between the battery and energy storage circuit and switches off the switch unit to stop current flow. The superposition unit superposes energy in the energy storage circuit with energy in the battery after the switch unit switches on and off. The control module switches the switch unit off after the first positive half cycle of current flow through the switch unit after the switch unit switches on. Voltage applied to the switch unit when the switch unit switches off is lower than the switch unit's voltage rating.
