The invention discloses a charging method and a control apparatus for a lead storage battery suitable for an
electric vehicle, and belongs to the field of the
electric vehicle. The control apparatus comprises a central
control unit, a photoelectric coupler, a
voltage detection unit and a battery
internal resistance detection unit, wherein the central
control unit is provided with pins of Vin end, JS end, CR end, T end and K1 end, K2 end and K3 end; the Vin end is used for receiving a
voltage signal corresponding to a battery end
voltage from the output end of the voltage detection unit; the K1 end, the K2 end and the K3 end are output ends of the central
control unit; the primary PWM-IC working state of a charger is controlled through the photoelectric coupler; the JS end is a timing triggering end of the central control unit for timing charging periods; and the CR end is used for receiving a battery
internal resistance state
signal from the battery
internal resistance detection unit. According to the charging method and the control apparatus, a low-frequency pulse charging mode limited by a
time range is adopted, so that a common industrial phenomenon of early degradation of the capacity service life caused by a single backward failure in cyclic use of a 36-72v
battery pack can be effectively solved; and instead, one-time balance charging saturation for the
battery pack can be realized, and the charger can be turned off.
