AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Rechargeable batteries in vehicles, particularly those with electrochemical cells, discharge and degrade when temperatures fall below certain thresholds, leading to reduced mileage range and battery lifespan, and existing thermal preconditioning systems require driver activation, which is often forgotten.

Method used

A monitoring method and device that geolocates the vehicle's location and recommends activating the thermal preconditioning device when temperatures drop below predefined thresholds, using messages to drivers via in-vehicle or mobile communication, to prevent battery discharge and degradation.

Benefits of technology

Effectively reminds drivers to activate thermal preconditioning, reducing battery discharge and degradation, thereby maintaining battery health and mileage range without increased energy consumption.

Abstract

A monitoring method is implemented in a geolocatable vehicle comprising a rechargeable battery and a self-contained thermal preconditioning device which, if activated, warms the battery. This method includes a step (10-90) in which, if the vehicle is geolocated while stationary in an area where the temperature may be below a predefined threshold, at least one message is generated for the vehicle's driver recommending that the thermal preconditioning device be activated.
