  • Publication number: 20190111796
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for preventing overheating of a charging inlet are provided. The apparatus includes a charging time measuring unit that measures a charging time and a temperature estimating unit that estimates a temperature of the charging inlet based on the measured charging time and a charging parameter. A charging parameter setting unit sets the charging parameter by communicating with a charger and resets the charging parameter to prevent the temperature of the charging inlet from exceeding a threshold temperature.

  • Publication number: 20180294660
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling charging of a battery includes a battery unit including a battery, a first relay connected with the battery, and a second relay interposed between the first relay and a rapid charging port to charge the battery with charging power from a rapid charger connected with the rapid charging port, if the first relay and the second relay are controlled to be on. The apparatus includes a charging controller that controls the first relay and the second relay to be on or off and to determine a welding state of the second relay, if the rapid charger is connected with the rapid charging port, to control charging of the battery in a charging sequence corresponding to the welding state of the second relay.

  • Publication number: 20140379284
    Abstract: A system and method for calculating available energy of a battery is provided and the system includes a controller configured to receive State-Of-Charge (SOC) of the battery as an input and output an Open-Circuit Voltage (OCV) of the battery. In addition, a value of available energy is stored in a memory and the controller obtains a value of charged and discharged energy and a value of heat loss energy from an OCV of the battery, an output voltage of a battery system, and an output current of the battery system. The value of the obtained charged and discharged energy are added to the value of the available energy which has been previously stored and the value of the heat loss energy is subtracted to calculate a value of new available energy.
