Abstract: A device for calculating mileage is disclosed. The device includes an estimation calculator, a mileage calculator, and a filter. The estimation calculator is configured for determining a first battery power consumed over a first predetermined distance, wherein the first battery power is determined based on a velocity and an initial remaining power. The mileage calculator is coupled to the estimation calculator, and is configured for determining an estimated remaining mileage based on the first battery power, the first predetermined distance, and a power balance. A filter is coupled to the estimation calculator and the mileage calculator, and is configured for smoothing the estimated remaining mileage and outputting a smoothed estimated remaining mileage.

Abstract: A balance charging detector is configured to detect a balance charging condition for a battery. The balance charging detector includes a controller and a comparing module. The controller is configured to monitor a status of the battery, access battery parameters for the battery that correspond to the status, and generate a group of balance charging parameters based on the battery parameters. The comparing module is configured to set a balance charging flag based on a comparison of the group of balance charging parameters and a set of thresholds. A balance charging signal can be generated if the balance charging flag is set to indicate presence of a condition to perform a balance charging of the battery.
