As shown in the figure, the method includes the following steps: Figure 1

[0049] S110, adjusting a plurality of target batteries to the same state of charge.

[0050] S120, discharging the plurality of target batteries at the same discharge rate.

[0051] ​Based on S110 and S120, by adjusting the plurality of target batteries to the same state of charge, discharging the plurality of target batteries at the same state of charge and at the same discharge rate can ensure the accuracy of the battery grading.

[0052] In some embodiments, the state of charge ranges from 20% to 90%. In this way, by specifying the range of the state of charge, the state of charge can be avoided to affect the battery grading. For S110, all target batteries can be adjusted to the same state of charge by charging or discharging according to the current state of charge of each target battery. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, each target battery is a battery of the same type, so the voltage of the target battery can be monitored, and when the voltage of each target battery is the same, it can be determined that the state of charge of each target battery is the same.

[0053] In some embodiments, the discharge rate ranges from 0.01C to 5C. In this way, by specifying the discharge rate, the battery polarization related direct current resistance can be obtained, so that the polarization of the battery after grading tends to be the same. For S120, the plurality of target batteries can be connected in series, and a constant current discharge device can be used to discharge the plurality of target batteries at a certain fixed discharge rate (such as 4C).

[0054] S130, obtaining a plurality of direct current resistances of the target battery at a plurality of preset discharge times.

[0055] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, for each target battery, the direct current resistance at each preset discharge time can be calculated by using the following formula:

[0056] R = (U1-U2) / I 放 ;

[0057] wherein R represents the direct current resistance of the target battery at the current preset discharge time; U1 represents the voltage of the target battery before discharging; U2 represents the voltage of the target battery at the current preset discharge time; and I 放 represents the discharging current.

[0058] In view of the influence of battery polarization, the battery generates an electrochemical polarization internal resistance and / or a concentration polarization internal resistance with the increase of the discharge time, and changes over time. Therefore, to improve the influence of battery polarization, the DC internal resistances obtained at the plurality of preset discharge moments should distinguish the ohmic resistance, the electrochemical polarization internal resistance and the concentration polarization internal resistance, so as to ensure that the polarization conditions of the target batteries in the same grade after grading tend to be the same. Based on this, in some embodiments, at least one of the plurality of DC internal resistances only includes the ohmic internal resistance, and at least one of the plurality of DC internal resistances includes at least one of the electrochemical polarization internal resistance and the concentration polarization internal resistance and the ohmic internal resistance. In one implementable manner, for each target battery, the plurality of DC internal resistances includes a first DC internal resistance, a second DC internal resistance and a third DC internal resistance, wherein the first DC internal resistance is the ohmic internal resistance, the second DC internal resistance includes the ohmic internal resistance and the electrochemical polarization internal resistance or the concentration polarization internal resistance, and the third DC internal resistance includes the ohmic internal resistance, the electrochemical polarization internal resistance and the concentration polarization internal resistance. In this way, the ohmic internal resistance, the electrochemical polarization internal resistance and the concentration polarization internal resistance can be accurately distinguished, the changes of the DC internal resistance caused by battery polarization are fully considered, and it is ensured that the polarization conditions of the target batteries in the same grade after grading tend to be the same.

[0059] Based on the above technical solution, to obtain the DC internal resistance that can distinguish the ohmic internal resistance, the electrochemical polarization internal resistance and the concentration polarization internal resistance, in some embodiments, the plurality of preset discharge moments are a plurality of moments in 0.1 seconds to 120 seconds, and include at least one moment less than or equal to 0.2 seconds and at least one moment greater than or equal to 1 second. Specifically, when the preset discharge moment is less than or equal to 0.2 seconds (such as 0.1 second), the DC internal resistance of the battery can be approximated to the ohmic internal resistance; when the preset discharge moment is greater than or equal to 1 second, the DC internal resistance of the battery includes the ohmic internal resistance, the electrochemical polarization internal resistance and / or the concentration polarization internal resistance. At present, the existing equipment still cannot accurately measure the size and generation time of the electrochemical polarization internal resistance and the concentration polarization internal resistance, and the generation time of the electrochemical polarization internal resistance and the concentration polarization internal resistance is different under different environments (such as temperature, discharge current and battery structure). Therefore, the DC internal resistance at a plurality of discharge moments can be selected when the battery discharge time is greater than or equal to 1 second, so as to improve the accuracy of the DC internal resistance that distinguishes the ohmic internal resistance, the electrochemical polarization internal resistance and the concentration polarization internal resistance as much as possible. In one implementable manner, the plurality of preset discharge moments can include 0.1 seconds, 1 second, 10 seconds, 30 seconds and 60 seconds.

[0060] It should be noted that the starting moment of the discharge of the target battery can be recorded as 0 seconds, and the timing starts from 0 seconds, and any subsequent moment is referred to the 0 seconds.

[0061] S140, based on the plurality of DC internal resistances, determining the internal resistance difference value of the DC internal resistance of the target battery at any two preset discharge moments.

[0062] In some embodiments, the resistance difference value of the DC internal resistance of the target battery at any two adjacent preset discharge moments can be determined based on the plurality of DC internal resistances, so that the calculation amount can be greatly reduced while ensuring the accuracy of battery grading. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, for each target battery, the resistance difference value of the DC internal resistance of the target battery at any two adjacent preset discharge moments can be calculated by using the following formula:

[0063] D n-1 =R n -R n-1 ;

[0064] wherein R n represents the DC internal resistance of the target battery at the nth preset discharge moment, R n-1 represents the DC internal resistance of the target battery at the (n-1)th preset discharge moment, and n is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0065] In one implementation, the plurality of DC internal resistances of the target battery at 0.1 seconds, 1 second, 10 seconds, 30 seconds and 60 seconds are obtained, and are denoted as R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 respectively. At this time, the resistance difference values of the DC internal resistance of the target battery at any two adjacent preset discharge moments are D1, D2, D3 and D4 respectively, wherein D1=R2-R1, D2=R3-R2, D3=R4-R3 and D4=R5-R4.

[0066] S150, determining the root mean square of the resistance difference value of the target battery based on the resistance difference value.

[0067] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, for each target battery, the root mean square of the resistance difference value of the target battery can be calculated by using the following formula:

[0068]

[0069] S160, grading the plurality of target batteries based on the root mean square.

[0070] In some embodiments, grading the plurality of target batteries based on the root mean square can include the following steps:

[0071] S161, sorting the plurality of target batteries in a preset size order based on the size of the root mean square.

[0072] In some embodiments, the preset size order can be from large to small or from small to large.

[0073] S162, dividing the target batteries meeting the preset grading condition into one grade according to the arrangement order of the plurality of target batteries.

[0074] In some embodiments, the target batteries can be binned according to the number of target batteries in the order of arrangement of the target batteries. In one implementation, the preset binning condition includes that the number of target batteries in each bin reaches a preset binning number. Specifically, the first target battery is counted in the order of arrangement of the target batteries, and when the count reaches the preset binning number, the counted target batteries are divided into a bin. Then, the next target battery is counted again, and when the count reaches the preset bining number, the counted target batteries are divided into another bin. In this way, the binning of all target batteries is completed. The preset binning number is determined according to actual conditions.

[0075] In some embodiments, the target batteries can be binned according to the difference of the root mean square in the order of arrangement of the target batteries. In one implementation, the preset binning condition includes that the difference between the maximum and minimum of the root mean square in each bin is less than or equal to a preset threshold. Specifically, the root mean square corresponding to the first target battery is taken as the maximum of the root mean square of the first bin in the order of arrangement of the target batteries, and then the root mean square of the subsequent target battery is compared with the maximum of the root mean square. The subsequent target battery with a root mean square difference less than or equal to the preset threshold is binned with the first target battery. Then, the target battery with a first root mean square difference greater than the preset threshold is taken as the first target battery of another bin, and the above steps are repeated to divide another bin of target batteries. In this way, the binning of all target batteries is completed. The preset threshold is determined according to actual conditions.

[0076] The battery binning method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure obtains the plurality of direct current resistances of the target battery at the plurality of preset discharge moments, then determines the resistance difference of the direct current resistance of the target battery at any two adjacent preset discharge moments based on the plurality of direct current resistances, determines the root mean square of the target battery with respect to the resistance difference based on the resistance difference, and finally bins the plurality of target batteries based on the root mean square. In this way, the root mean square is determined according to the plurality of direct current resistances obtained at different discharge moments, the influence of battery polarization is considered, the polarization of the target batteries binned in this way tends to be the same, thereby effectively improving the consistency of the battery pack in the middle and later stages of the cycle, prolonging the service life of the battery pack, and improving the cruising range of the electric vehicle. In addition, the technical scheme of the present disclosure can be realized by the existing binning equipment, without the need to increase new equipment, low cost, and strong practicability.

[0077] In some embodiments, before adjusting the plurality of target batteries to the same state of charge, the method further comprises:

[0078] S210, the battery to be binned is preliminarily binned.

[0079] The preliminary grading is the conventional grading. In an embodiment, an electrical performance parameter of the battery to be graded is obtained, and the battery to be graded is preliminarily graded based on the electrical performance parameter, wherein the electrical performance parameter includes at least one of open circuit voltage, alternating current resistance, capacity and self-discharge value. Specifically, for the open circuit voltage, the batteries to be graded can be sequentially arranged based on the size of the open circuit voltage, and the batteries to be graded with a difference of less than 5 millivolts in the open circuit voltage are classified into one grade according to the arrangement order of the batteries to be graded. For the alternating current resistance, the batteries to be graded can be sequentially arranged based on the size of the alternating current resistance, and the batteries to be graded with a difference of less than 0.05 milliohm in the alternating current resistance are classified into one grade according to the arrangement order of the batteries to be graded. For the capacity, the batteries to be graded can be sequentially arranged based on the size of the capacity, and the batteries to be graded with a difference of less than 0.5 ampere-hour in the capacity are classified into one grade according to the arrangement order of the batteries to be graded. For the self-discharge value, the batteries to be graded can be sequentially arranged based on the size of the self-discharge value, and the batteries to be graded with a difference of less than 0.002 millivolt per hour in the self-discharge value are classified into one grade according to the arrangement order of the batteries to be graded.

[0080] S220, part or all of the batteries to be graded in each grade after the preliminary grading are selected as the target batteries.

[0081] Part or all of the batteries to be graded in each grade after the preliminary grading can be selected as the target batteries according to actual needs.

[0082] The embodiments of the present disclosure can not only eliminate the batteries with poor consistency, but also further grade the batteries in each grade after the conventional grading, thereby improving the consistency of the batteries in each grade after the further grading.

[0083] Based on the above technical solutions, the present disclosure further provides specific embodiments and comparative examples to illustrate the significance of the technical effects of the present disclosure.

[0084] Comparative Example 1

[0085] Taking a square cell battery model 44*220*102mm-160Ah as an example, 4000 batteries graded according to the conventional grading are selected, and 228 batteries are randomly selected to form a 1P228 battery pack.

[0086] Comparative Example 2

[0087] In Comparative Example 1, 1000 batteries were randomly selected, and the state of charge of the batteries was adjusted to 50%; the batteries were discharged at 0.2C for 10 seconds, charged at 0.2C for 10 seconds; discharged at 0.5C for 10 seconds, charged at 0.5C for 10 seconds; discharged at 1C for 10 seconds, charged at 1C for 10 seconds; discharged at 2C for 10 seconds, charged at 2C for 10 seconds; discharged at 3C for 10 seconds, charged at 3C for 10 seconds; the direct current internal resistance of the 10-second pulse discharge at 0.2C, 0.5C, 1C, 2C and 3C was calculated respectively, D1' was obtained by subtracting the direct current internal resistance at 0.5C from the direct current internal resistance at 0.2C, D2' was obtained by subtracting the direct current internal resistance at 1C from the direct current internal resistance at 0.5C, D3' was obtained by subtracting the direct current internal resistance at 2C from the direct current internal resistance at 1C, and D4' was obtained by subtracting the direct current internal resistance at 3C from the direct current internal resistance at 2C. D0' was obtained by calculating the arithmetic mean of D1', D2', D3' and D4'. D0' was sorted from large to small, and each 228 batteries were divided into a grade.

[0091] In Comparative Example 1, 1000 batteries were randomly selected, and the state of charge of the batteries was adjusted to 50%; the batteries were discharged at 0.2C for 10 seconds, charged at 0.2C for 10 seconds; the direct current internal resistance at 0.1 second, 1 second, 10 seconds, 30 seconds and 60 seconds was obtained; D1 was obtained by subtracting the direct current internal resistance at 1 second from the direct current internal resistance at 0.1 second, D2 was obtained by subtracting the direct current internal resistance at 10 seconds from the direct current internal resistance at 1 second, D3 was obtained by subtracting the direct current internal resistance at 30 seconds from the direct current internal resistance at 10 seconds, and D4 was obtained by subtracting the direct current internal resistance at 60 seconds from the direct current internal resistance at 30 seconds.
