Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of battery processing, and more particularly to a battery processing method, apparatus, electronic device, storage medium, and computer program product. Background Technology

[0002] As users demand increasingly higher battery energy density, adding a certain amount of silicon material to the graphite anode of the battery has become a recognized technological direction. However, to obtain a higher discharge capacity, the battery needs to be discharged to a low voltage state for an extended period to maximize the high capacity benefits of the silicon material. But discharging the battery to a low voltage state for an extended period can accelerate the damage to the silicon material, leading to battery bulging and affecting battery safety.

[0003] In addition, due to the special physical and chemical characteristics of batteries, such as the fact that the direct current resistance (DCR) of a battery increases with the number of discharge cycles during discharge, once the DCR increases to a certain value, the battery's discharge voltage will reach the shutdown voltage prematurely, causing the electronic device to shut down early, which will affect the user experience.

[0058] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure may include the following beneficial effects:

[0059] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the first discharge cycle number of the battery is obtained within the current charge-discharge cycle; then, when the first discharge cycle number is within a first preset range, a first discharge cutoff voltage is determined based on the first preset range and a preset mapping relationship; wherein, the preset mapping relationship is used to characterize the relationship between each preset range and the discharge cutoff voltage; finally, the power-off voltage is adjusted to the first discharge cutoff voltage.

[0060] On the one hand, since the first discharge cutoff voltage varies with different first preset ranges throughout the battery's lifespan, and the shutdown voltage can change with the first cutoff voltage, the shutdown voltage can be gradually increased in the early stage of the discharge cycle based on the preset mapping relationship to alleviate battery aging and reduce the problem of battery bulging caused by prolonged discharge to low voltage. In the later stage of the discharge cycle, the shutdown voltage can be gradually decreased based on the preset mapping relationship, thereby maximizing the high capacity benefits of silicon materials to ensure the battery's discharge capacity and improve its range.

[0061] On the other hand, since the shutdown voltage has been adjusted to correspond to the first discharge cutoff voltage in the later stage of the discharge cycle, even if the DCR increases, the battery discharge voltage will not reach the shutdown voltage in advance, thus preventing the electronic device from shutting down unexpectedly, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0074] Figure 1This is a flowchart illustrating a battery processing method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 ,like Figure 1 As shown, the battery processing method mainly includes the following steps:

[0075] In step 101, the number of the first discharge cycle in which the battery discharges is obtained within the current charge / discharge cycle;

[0076] In step 102, when the number of first discharge cycles is within a first preset range, the first discharge cutoff voltage is determined based on the first preset range and a preset mapping relationship; wherein, the preset mapping relationship is used to characterize the relationship between each preset range and the discharge cutoff voltage;

[0077] In step 103, the power-off voltage is adjusted to the first discharge cutoff voltage.

[0078] It should be noted that the battery processing method proposed in this disclosure can be applied to electronic devices. Here, electronic devices can include terminal devices, such as mobile terminals or fixed terminals. Mobile terminals can include devices such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and wearable electronic devices. Fixed terminals can include desktop computers, smart TVs, and in-vehicle devices. In some other embodiments, the battery processing method can also be applied to applications installed on electronic devices.

[0079] In other embodiments, the battery processing method of this disclosure can be configured in a battery processing device, which can be located in an electronic device; this disclosure does not limit this. It should be noted that the execution entity of this disclosure can be a central processing unit (CPU) in the electronic device in hardware, and related background services in the electronic device in software; this is not limited.

[0080] Understandably, as an energy storage device, the cycle life of a battery affects the user experience and operating costs. As users demand higher energy density from batteries, a certain amount of silicon material is typically added to the negative electrode of the battery. This allows the silicon material to exert a greater discharge capacity gain during the battery's discharge phase, thereby increasing the battery's discharge capacity.

[0081] Silicon is a widely used material in the battery field, playing a crucial role in the positive electrode, negative electrode, and electrolyte of batteries. In practical battery applications, the use of silicon materials can improve battery energy density, extend battery life, and provide higher safety.

[0082] It's important to note that the shutdown voltage is a crucial factor affecting battery cycle life. Setting the shutdown voltage too high, while ensuring battery safety and reducing bulging, will decrease the battery's discharge capacity. Conversely, setting it too low, while increasing discharge capacity, will lead to over-discharge, accelerating battery aging and reducing cycle life. Therefore, throughout the battery's lifespan, the shutdown voltage needs to be continuously adjusted based on the number of discharge cycles.

[0083] Understandably, since the adjustment of the shutdown voltage is related to the number of battery discharge cycles, the shutdown voltage can be further adjusted based on the number of the first discharge cycles of the battery in the current charge-discharge cycle.

[0084] In some embodiments, the fuel gauge in the electronic device can accumulate the number of battery discharge cycles (i.e., CycleCount). In the current charge-discharge cycle, the number of the first discharge cycle in which the battery is discharged can be obtained based on the fuel gauge.

[0085] It should be noted that, in order to improve the accuracy of adjusting the shutdown voltage, a first preset range can be set. After obtaining the first discharge cycle count, if the first discharge cycle count is within the first preset range, the first discharge cutoff voltage corresponding to the first preset range can be determined, and then the shutdown voltage can be adjusted to the first discharge cutoff voltage.

[0086] Here, the first preset range includes multiple discharge cycle counts. The first preset range can be set arbitrarily, for example, the first preset range is 300-310 times. This embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0087] It is understandable that, in order to quickly and accurately determine the first discharge cutoff voltage corresponding to the first preset range, a preset mapping relationship can be set to characterize the relationship between each preset range and the discharge cutoff voltage. Then, based on the preset mapping relationship and the first preset range, the first discharge cutoff voltage corresponding to the first preset range can be determined.

[0088] Here, the preset mapping relationship can be set based on experience or obtained through experiments, and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0089] For example, a preset mapping relationship can be established based on experience. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the change of the discharge cutoff voltage of a battery with the number of discharge cycles, according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2As shown, the discharge cutoff voltage of the battery varies with the number of discharge cycles. For silicon anode batteries, the discharge cutoff voltage corresponds to 3200 mV for the preset range of 0-100 cycles; 3250 mV for the preset range of 101-200 cycles… 3350 mV for the preset range of 501-600 cycles; 3300 mV for the preset range of 601-700 cycles… and 3200 mV for the preset range exceeding 800 cycles. Therefore, based on the above data, a preset mapping relationship characterizing the relationship between each preset range and the discharge cutoff voltage can be established.

[0090] In some embodiments, preset ranges can be set in increments of 100 times, such as 0-100 times, 101-200 times, ..., 701-800 times, 801 times and above, etc. Within the current charge / discharge cycle, after obtaining the first discharge cycle number of the battery, for example, if the first discharge cycle number is 560 times, the first preset range can be 501-600 times. To determine the adjustment value of the shutdown voltage, a first discharge cutoff voltage corresponding to 501-600 times can be determined based on a preset mapping relationship, and then the shutdown voltage is adjusted to the first discharge cutoff voltage corresponding to 501-600 times.

[0091] Therefore, the first preset range can refer to the range in the early stage of battery discharge cycle, for example, the range corresponding to the number of discharge cycles from 0 to 400, or it can refer to the range in the later stage of battery discharge cycle, for example, the range corresponding to the number of discharge cycles from 400 to 800. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0092] In some embodiments, if the number of first discharge cycles obtained in the current charge / discharge cycle is 385, the silicon anode battery can be determined to be in the early stage of discharge cycling. In the early stage of discharge cycling, in order to obtain a larger discharge capacity, discharging the silicon anode battery to a low voltage state for an extended period can easily cause the silicon anode battery to bulge, which is detrimental to ensuring the safety of the silicon anode battery. Therefore, a first preset range can be set to 301-400 cycles. Based on a preset mapping relationship, the first discharge cutoff voltage corresponding to 301-400 cycles can be determined to be 3350mV. Further adjusting the shutdown voltage to 3350mV allows the silicon anode battery to discharge to a higher state, thereby reducing the phenomenon of bulging and improving the safety of the silicon anode battery.

[0093] In some embodiments, if the first discharge cycle count is 781 within the current charge / discharge cycle, the silicon anode battery is determined to be in the late stage of discharge cycling. In the late stage of discharge cycling, to ensure battery safety, continuously discharging the silicon anode battery to a high voltage state is detrimental to maximizing its capacity characteristics, thus hindering the improvement of its discharge capacity and failing to meet the requirements for long battery life. Therefore, a first preset range of 701-800 cycles can be set. Based on a preset mapping relationship, the first discharge cutoff voltage corresponding to 701-800 cycles can be determined to be 3250mV. Further adjusting the shutdown voltage to 3250mV allows the silicon anode battery to discharge to a lower state, thereby maximizing its capacity characteristics and ensuring that the silicon anode battery has both a large discharge capacity and a long lifespan.

[0094] In some embodiments, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a battery aging trend according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 ,like Figure 3 As shown, the actual capacity of silicon anode batteries decreases with increasing discharge cycle count. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a battery aging trend according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 ,like Figure 4 As shown, in the early stages of charge-discharge cycles, such as the 0-300 discharge cycles illustrated, the battery's DCR resistance is relatively low, and the actual DCR growth rate remains at the same level as the reference DCR growth rate. However, when the discharge cycle count exceeds 300, the actual DCR resistance gradually increases. Since the battery's discharge capacity is affected by the shutdown voltage, the battery's output voltage can be calculated using the following formula:

[0095] V bat =OCV-I*R (1);

[0096] In formula (1), V bat I is the output voltage of the battery, OCV is the open-circuit voltage of the battery (i.e., the terminal voltage of the battery when there is no load), I is the current flowing out of the battery, and R is the resistance of the DCR.

[0097] It can be seen that, under the same load, the resistance of the DCR will increase with the increase of the number of battery discharge cycles. Once the resistance of the DCR increases to a certain value, it will cause the battery discharge voltage to reach the shutdown voltage in advance, causing the electronic device to shut down unexpectedly, which will affect the user experience.

[0098] Therefore, in this embodiment, the shutdown voltage is dynamically adjusted so that it changes with the number of battery discharge cycles. That is, the shutdown voltage always remains consistent with the changing first discharge cutoff voltage. Thus, even if the DCR increases, the battery discharge voltage will not reach the shutdown voltage prematurely, causing the electronic device to shut down unexpectedly, thereby improving the user experience.

[0099] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the first discharge cycle number of the battery is obtained within the current charge-discharge cycle; then, when the first discharge cycle number is within a first preset range, a first discharge cutoff voltage is determined based on the first preset range and a preset mapping relationship; wherein, the preset mapping relationship is used to characterize the relationship between each preset range and the discharge cutoff voltage; finally, the power-off voltage is adjusted to the first discharge cutoff voltage.

[0100] On the one hand, since the first discharge cutoff voltage varies with different first preset ranges throughout the battery's lifespan, and the shutdown voltage can change with the first cutoff voltage, the shutdown voltage can be gradually increased in the early stage of the discharge cycle based on the preset mapping relationship to alleviate battery aging and reduce the problem of battery bulging caused by prolonged discharge to low voltage. In the later stage of the discharge cycle, the shutdown voltage can be gradually decreased based on the preset mapping relationship, thereby maximizing the high capacity benefits of silicon materials to ensure the battery's discharge capacity and improve its range.

[0101] On the other hand, since the shutdown voltage has been adjusted to correspond to the first discharge cutoff voltage in the later stage of the discharge cycle, even if the DCR increases, the battery discharge voltage will not reach the shutdown voltage in advance, thus preventing the electronic device from shutting down unexpectedly, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0102] Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating a battery processing method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 ,like Figure 5 As shown, the battery processing method includes:

[0103] In step 501, the number of the first discharge cycle in which the battery discharges is obtained within the current charge / discharge cycle;

[0104] In step 502, if the number of first discharge cycles is within a first preset range, the first discharge cutoff voltage is determined based on the first preset range and a preset mapping relationship; wherein, the preset mapping relationship is used to characterize the relationship between each preset range and the discharge cutoff voltage.

[0105] In step 503, the amount of electricity after the first discharge cycle count is greater than or equal to the upper limit of the first preset range is determined as the first amount of electricity;

[0106] In step 504, when the first power level reaches the first preset power level threshold, the power-off voltage is adjusted to the first discharge cutoff voltage.

[0107] In some embodiments, during actual use, the battery may be charged before it is fully discharged. For example, a 5000 mAh battery is considered to have completed one discharge cycle when it is discharged to 98%. However, in actual use, the user may charge the battery when it is only 90% discharged, meaning that in actual use, one discharge cycle is counted only when the battery is 90% discharged. If the system is set to accumulate one discharge cycle based on 98% discharge and the first discharge cycle count reaches 300, the shutdown voltage can be adjusted. However, since the battery actually accumulates one discharge cycle based on 90% discharge, even if the first discharge cycle count reaches 300, the shutdown voltage modification command will not be triggered, and the shutdown voltage cannot be adjusted.

[0108] Therefore, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, when the number of first discharge cycles is within the first preset range, it is also necessary to determine whether the number of first discharge cycles is greater than or equal to the upper limit of the first preset range. By setting the conditions for adjusting the shutdown voltage to be strict, the problem that the shutdown voltage cannot be modified even when the number of first discharge cycles reaches the preset number of cycles can be avoided, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of adjusting the shutdown voltage.

[0109] Here, if the first preset range is 300-310 times, then the upper limit of the first preset range is 310 times.

[0110] For example, the first preset range is set to 300-310 times. If the first discharge cycle count is 310 times, it can be determined that the first discharge cycle count is equal to the upper limit of the first preset range; while if the first discharge cycle count is 340 times, it can be determined that the first discharge cycle count is greater than the upper limit of the first preset range.

[0111] It should be noted that when the number of the first discharge cycles is greater than or equal to the upper limit of the first preset range, in order to avoid the actual discharge voltage of the battery being lower than the first discharge cutoff voltage when adjusting the power-off voltage, the power-off voltage can be adjusted when the battery charge is high. Based on this, this embodiment of the present disclosure sets a first preset charge threshold, compares the charge level after the number of the first discharge cycles is greater than or equal to the upper limit of the first preset range with the first preset charge threshold, and then further determines whether the power-off voltage can be adjusted.

[0112] Here, the battery level after the first discharge cycle count is greater than or equal to the upper limit of the first preset range can be defined as the first battery level. If the first battery level reaches the first preset battery level threshold, it can be determined that the current discharge capacity of the battery is greater than the first discharge cutoff voltage, and the shutdown voltage can be adjusted; however, if the first battery level does not reach the first preset battery level threshold, it can be determined that the current discharge capacity of the battery may be less than the first discharge cutoff voltage, and the shutdown voltage cannot be adjusted.

[0113] Here, the first preset power threshold can be set arbitrarily, for example, the first preset power threshold is 50%, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0114] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by setting a first preset power threshold, the power level after the first discharge cycle number is greater than or equal to the upper limit of the first preset range is determined as the first power level. Then, when the first power level reaches the first preset power threshold, the power-off voltage is adjusted to the first discharge cutoff voltage. This ensures that the battery power level will not remain in a low state when adjusting the power-off voltage, thereby avoiding the situation where the actual discharge voltage of the battery is less than the first discharge cutoff voltage during the power-off voltage adjustment process, which helps to improve the reliability of adjusting the power-off voltage.

[0115] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0116] If the battery level has not reached the first preset power threshold, the battery will be charged within the current charge / discharge cycle until the battery level reaches the first preset power threshold.

[0117] Understandably, since the actual discharge voltage of the battery may be lower than the first discharge cutoff voltage if the initial charge level has not reached the first preset charge threshold, the shutdown voltage cannot be adjusted. To enable adjustment of the shutdown voltage, the battery can be continuously charged within the current charge / discharge cycle until the battery charge reaches the first preset charge threshold.

[0118] Here, the battery can be charged in the current charge-discharge cycle using any charging method. For example, the charging method can be constant current charging, constant voltage charging, or fixed resistance charging, etc. This disclosure does not limit the specific method used.

[0119] At the same time, there is no limit to the charging time of the battery within the current charge-discharge cycle, as long as the charged amount reaches the first preset charge threshold.

[0120] For example, if the first preset power threshold is set to 50%, and the first power is 20%, the battery can be charged in the current charge-discharge cycle according to the constant current charging method. When the battery power reaches 50%, the power-off voltage can be adjusted to the first discharge cutoff voltage.

[0121] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if the battery level has not reached a first preset power threshold, the battery can be charged during the current charge / discharge cycle until the battery level reaches the first preset power threshold. This continuous charging of the battery, ensuring it reaches the first preset power threshold, helps to accelerate the shutdown voltage adjustment process and improve the accuracy of the shutdown voltage adjustment.

[0122] In some embodiments, adjusting the shutdown voltage to a first discharge cutoff voltage includes:

[0123] If the number of first discharge cycles does not reach the upper limit of the first preset range, and the battery is in a charging state during the current charge-discharge cycle, then it is determined whether the second charge level of the battery after charging reaches the second preset charge threshold.

[0124] If the second power level reaches the second preset power threshold, the shutdown voltage will be adjusted to the first discharge cutoff voltage.

[0125] It is understandable that if the first discharge cycle count does not reach the upper limit of the first preset range, it can be determined that the power-off voltage cannot be adjusted at this time. Even if the battery is in a charging state during the current charge-discharge cycle, it cannot be determined that the battery has increased the number of charge-discharge cycles. Therefore, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting a second preset power threshold, the second power level of the battery after charging and the second preset power threshold can be compared to determine whether the battery has increased the number of charge-discharge cycles.

[0126] Here, if the battery increases the number of charge-discharge cycles by one, it can be assumed that the battery's first discharge cycle count can reach the upper limit of the first preset range.

[0127] Specifically, if the battery is charging during the current charge / discharge cycle and the first discharge cycle count has not reached the upper limit of the first preset range, then it is further determined whether the battery's second charge level after charging has reached the second preset charge level threshold. If the second charge level reaches the second preset charge level threshold, it can be determined that the battery has increased one charge / discharge cycle count, and the current discharge level of the battery is greater than the first discharge cutoff voltage, so the shutdown voltage can be adjusted to the first discharge cutoff voltage; however, if the second charge level has not reached the second preset charge level threshold, it can be determined that the battery has not increased one charge / discharge cycle count, so the shutdown voltage cannot be adjusted.

[0128] Here, the second preset voltage threshold can be set arbitrarily, for example, the second preset voltage threshold can be 100%, and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0129] For example, a first preset range is set to 300-310 times, with an upper limit of 310 times. A second preset voltage threshold is set to 100%. If the battery's first discharge cycle count is 309 within the current charge / discharge cycle, and this count has not reached the upper limit of the first preset range, then if the battery is charging and its second charge level reaches 100%, it can be determined that the battery has increased its charge / discharge cycle count by one, meaning the first discharge cycle count has changed from 309 to 310, and thus reached the upper limit of the first preset range. Simultaneously, since the battery's second charge level is currently fully charged, the current discharge voltage is definitely greater than the first discharge cutoff voltage, so the shutdown voltage can be adjusted to the first discharge cutoff voltage.

[0130] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if the battery is in a charging state during the current charge-discharge cycle and the first discharge cycle count has not reached the upper limit of the first preset range, it can be further determined whether the second charge level after charging has reached the second preset charge threshold. If the second charge level reaches the second preset charge threshold, the shutdown voltage is adjusted to the first discharge cutoff voltage. Thus, by setting the second preset charge threshold and comparing the second charge level with the second preset charge threshold, it is determined whether the battery has increased its charge-discharge cycle count and whether it can reach the upper limit of the first preset range, thereby improving the accuracy of adjusting the shutdown voltage.

[0131] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0132] If the battery level does not reach the second preset power threshold, the battery will continue to be charged until the battery level reaches the second preset power threshold.

[0133] Understandably, since the first discharge cycle count has not reached the upper limit of the first preset range when the second battery level has not reached the second preset battery level threshold, the shutdown voltage cannot be adjusted. To enable adjustment of the shutdown voltage, the battery can be continuously charged within the current charge / discharge cycle until the battery level reaches the second preset battery level threshold.

[0134] Here, the battery can be charged in the current charge-discharge cycle using any charging method. For example, the charging method can be constant current charging, constant voltage charging, or fixed resistance charging, etc. This disclosure does not limit the specific method used.

[0135] At the same time, there is no limit to the charging time of the battery within the current charge-discharge cycle, as long as the charged amount reaches the second preset charge threshold.

[0136] For example, if the second preset power threshold is set to 100%, and the second power is 78%, the battery can be charged in the current charge-discharge cycle according to the constant current charging method. When the battery power reaches 100%, the power-off voltage can be adjusted to the first discharge cutoff voltage.

[0137] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if the second battery level has not reached the second preset battery level threshold, the battery is continuously charged until the battery level reaches the second preset battery level threshold. This continuous charging of the battery, ensuring it reaches the second preset battery level threshold, helps to accelerate the shutdown voltage adjustment process and improve the accuracy of the shutdown voltage adjustment.

[0138] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0139] If the number of the first discharge cycle is within the second preset range, control the battery to enter the next charge-discharge cycle;

[0140] In this case, the number of discharge cycles in each of the second preset ranges is less than the number of discharge cycles in each of the first preset ranges.

[0141] In some embodiments, the factory-set shutdown voltage of the electronic device can be 3400mV. In the early stage of the discharge cycle of the silicon anode battery, for example, when the number of silicon anode discharge cycles is 0-200, the discharge voltage of the silicon anode battery is also at a high level due to the small number of discharge cycles, which makes it less likely to cause the silicon anode battery to bulge. Therefore, the shutdown voltage does not need to be adjusted at this time.

[0142] Therefore, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, a second preset range is set, wherein the number of discharge cycles within the second preset range is less than the number of discharge cycles within the first preset range, and when the number of discharge cycles in the first preset range is within the second preset range, the battery is controlled to enter the next charge-discharge cycle.

[0143] Here, the second preset range refers to the range corresponding to the early stage of discharge cycle of the silicon anode battery, which can be 0-100 times or 0-200 times. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0144] For example, if the number of the first discharge cycle of the battery is 118 during the current charge and discharge cycle, it can be determined that the number of the first discharge cycle is within the second preset range. At this time, the shutdown voltage is unlikely to cause the silicon negative electrode battery to bulge, that is, it will not affect the safety of battery use. Therefore, the shutdown voltage can be left unchanged and the battery can be controlled to enter the next charge and discharge cycle.

[0145] In this embodiment, by setting a second preset range, the battery is controlled to enter the next charge-discharge cycle when the number of the first discharge cycles is within the second preset range. Thus, when it is determined that the number of the first discharge cycles of the battery is within the range corresponding to the early stage of the discharge cycle, the discharge voltage can be directly controlled to enter the next charge-discharge cycle without adjustment, thereby improving the rationality and accuracy of the shutdown voltage adjustment.

[0146] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0147] Upon receiving the adjusted shutdown voltage, a modification instruction for the fuel gauge is triggered; wherein, the modification instruction is used to instruct the fuel gauge to update the voltage value used to calculate the remaining battery capacity to the adjusted shutdown voltage.

[0148] Based on the modification command, the fuel gauge calculates the remaining power based on the adjusted power-off voltage and the current discharge voltage of the battery.

[0149] It should be noted that in the actual use of electronic devices, users need to know the remaining battery power. In order to obtain the remaining battery power, a fuel gauge can be used to calculate it. The fuel gauge calculates the remaining battery power based on the power-off voltage and the current discharge voltage of the battery.

[0150] Here, the current discharge voltage of the battery indicates that the battery is in a discharge state, and is the currently measured battery voltage.

[0151] In some embodiments, a fuel gauge, also known as a coulomb counter, is a device used to measure the amount of electricity passing through a circuit. The fuel gauge calculates the remaining battery capacity by monitoring the battery's open-circuit voltage. For example, the open-circuit voltage and battery capacity have a preset relationship; once the open-circuit voltage is determined, the battery capacity can be obtained, thus further determining the remaining capacity. Alternatively, the remaining battery capacity can be estimated by measuring the net charge flowing into and out of the battery. For instance, by integrating the total current flowing into and out of the battery and using the integrated net charge as the remaining capacity, the remaining capacity can be further determined.

[0152] In some embodiments, if the battery's discharge voltage after full charge is 4200mV, the shutdown voltage is 3400mV, and the current discharge voltage is 3650mV, then the battery capacity between 3650mV and 3400mV can be calculated to obtain the first capacity; the battery capacity between 4200mV and 3400mV can be calculated to obtain the second capacity. The ratio between the first capacity and the second capacity then yields the remaining battery power.

[0153] In order to ensure battery safety while maximizing the benefits of silicon's high capacity, the power-off voltage is adjusted. For example, if the power-off voltage is adjusted from 3400mV to 3200mV, and the fuel gauge still calculates the remaining battery power based on the power-off voltage of 3400mV, the battery power displayed on the electronic device's screen will be inaccurate.

[0154] Based on this, in the embodiments of this disclosure, when the adjusted power-off voltage is obtained, a modification instruction for the fuel gauge can be triggered. The modification instruction is used to instruct the fuel gauge to update the voltage value used to calculate the remaining battery power to the adjusted power-off voltage, so that the fuel gauge can calculate the remaining battery power based on the adjusted power-off voltage and the current discharge voltage of the battery, thereby ensuring that the power displayed on the screen of the electronic device is accurate.

[0155] For example, in some embodiments, the fuel gauge can only store a fixed cutoff voltage during parameter configuration. This cutoff voltage is the voltage value used to calculate the remaining battery capacity, and it cannot be modified during actual use. To make the cutoff voltage change with the power-off voltage, the electronic device's software can be upgraded to generate modification instructions for the fuel gauge. Upon receiving the adjusted power-off voltage, the modification instructions for the fuel gauge are triggered. Specifically, the processing module (e.g., CPU) within the electronic device can establish a connection with the fuel gauge and write the adjusted power-off voltage into the fuel gauge, updating the stored cutoff voltage to the adjusted power-off voltage. To ensure the accuracy of the fuel gauge readings, the fuel gauge will recalculate the remaining battery capacity based on the adjusted power-off voltage and the battery's current discharge voltage.

[0156] In some embodiments, the processing module of the electronic device and the fuel gauge use a two-wire serial communication bus (Inter-Integrated Circuit, I2C) for data transmission. That is, the processing module can write the adjusted shutdown voltage to the fuel gauge via I2C communication. Here, when using I2C for communication, two lines are typically required: a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). When the bus is idle, both lines are at a high level. The external devices connected to the bus are all CMOS devices.

[0157] In this embodiment, upon receiving the adjusted power-off voltage, a modification instruction for the fuel gauge can be triggered. This modification instruction instructs the fuel gauge to update the voltage value used to calculate the remaining battery capacity to the adjusted power-off voltage. Then, based on the modification instruction, the fuel gauge calculates the remaining capacity using the adjusted power-off voltage and the battery's current discharge voltage. Thus, by triggering the modification instruction for the fuel gauge, the voltage value stored in the fuel gauge for calculating the remaining battery capacity changes with the adjusted power-off voltage, ensuring accurate calculation of the remaining battery capacity. This results in accurate display of the battery capacity on the electronic device's screen, thereby improving the user experience.

[0158] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0159] The battery is discharged according to the preset number of discharge cycles within each preset range to obtain the discharge cut-off voltage corresponding to each preset range;

[0160] Establish a preset mapping relationship between each preset range and the corresponding discharge cutoff voltage.

[0161] It should be explained that, in order to improve the accuracy of the discharge cutoff voltage corresponding to each preset range, the battery can be subjected to discharge cycle tests according to the preset number of discharge cycles in each preset range, thereby obtaining the discharge cutoff voltage corresponding to each preset range.

[0162] In some embodiments, each preset range corresponds to a discharge cutoff voltage. To obtain the discharge cutoff voltage corresponding to each preset range, the battery needs to be subjected to discharge cycle tests according to a preset number of discharge cycles within each preset range, thereby obtaining the discharge cutoff voltage corresponding to each preset number of discharge cycles within the preset range. If there are inconsistencies in the discharge cutoff voltages corresponding to each preset number of discharge cycles, the average value of the discharge cutoff voltages corresponding to each preset number of discharge cycles can be calculated to determine the discharge cutoff voltage corresponding to each preset range.

[0163] Here, the size of each preset range can be set arbitrarily. For example, the first preset range is 300-310 times, the second preset range is 311-315 times, etc. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0164] In some embodiments, to facilitate the statistical analysis of the number of preset discharge cycles within a preset range, an increment number can be set, such that starting from the first preset discharge cycle number within the preset range, the increment number is increased sequentially to obtain the number of each preset discharge cycle. Here, the increment number can be set arbitrarily; for example, the increment number can be 5 times, and this embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0165] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the rapid acquisition of the discharge cutoff voltage corresponding to each preset range, a preset mapping relationship can be established between the preset range and the corresponding discharge cutoff voltage. Thus, after determining the first preset range, the first discharge cutoff voltage corresponding to the first preset range can be determined from multiple discharge cutoff voltages based on the preset mapping relationship.

[0166] In this embodiment, the battery is discharged according to a preset number of discharge cycles within each preset range to obtain the discharge cutoff voltage corresponding to each preset range; then, a preset mapping relationship is established between each preset range and its corresponding discharge cutoff voltage. Thus, by obtaining the preset mapping relationship, different discharge cutoff voltages corresponding to different preset ranges can be acquired, thereby enabling the rapid and accurate positioning of the first discharge cutoff voltage corresponding to the first preset range when adjusting the power-off voltage.

[0167] Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating a battery processing method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 ,like Figure 6 As shown, the battery processing method includes:

[0168] In step 601, the number of the first discharge cycle in which the battery discharges is obtained within the current charge / discharge cycle.

[0169] In some embodiments, the fuel gauge in the electronic device can accumulate the number of battery discharge cycles, and within the current charge / discharge cycle, the number of the first discharge cycle in which the battery is discharged can be obtained based on the fuel gauge.

[0170] In step 602, it is determined whether the number of the first discharge cycles is within a first preset range.

[0171] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the first discharge cycle number is within a first preset range, the first discharge cutoff voltage can be determined based on the first preset range and a preset mapping relationship; wherein the preset mapping relationship is used to characterize the relationship between each preset range and the discharge cutoff voltage; and step 603 is executed.

[0172] In other embodiments, if the number of first discharge cycles is determined to be outside a first preset range, then the number of first discharge cycles can be placed within a second preset range, allowing the battery to enter the next charge / discharge cycle. Wherein, the number of discharge cycles within the second preset range is less than the number of discharge cycles within the first preset range.

[0173] In step 603, it is determined whether the number of the first discharge cycles is greater than or equal to the upper limit of the first preset range.

[0174] In some embodiments, if it is determined that the number of first discharge cycles is greater than or equal to the upper limit of the first preset range, then the amount of electricity after the number of first discharge cycles is greater than or equal to the upper limit of the first preset range is determined as the first amount of electricity, and step 604 is executed.

[0175] In other embodiments, if it is determined that the first discharge cycle count has not reached the upper limit of the first preset range, then step 606 is executed.

[0176] In step 604, it is determined whether the first power level has reached the first preset power level threshold.

[0177] In some embodiments, if the first battery level reaches a first preset battery level threshold, step 605 is executed.

[0178] In other embodiments, if the first charge level has not reached the first preset charge threshold, the battery is charged during the current charge / discharge cycle until the battery charge level reaches the first preset charge threshold.

[0179] In step 605, the power-off voltage is adjusted to the first discharge cutoff voltage, and a modification command for the fuel gauge is triggered.

[0180] In some embodiments, upon obtaining the adjusted power-off voltage, a modification instruction is triggered for the fuel gauge; wherein the modification instruction instructs the fuel gauge to update the voltage value used to calculate the remaining battery capacity to the adjusted power-off voltage; based on the modification instruction, the fuel gauge calculates the remaining capacity based on the adjusted power-off voltage and the current discharge voltage of the battery.

[0181] In step 606, it is determined whether the battery is in a charging state during the current charge-discharge cycle, and whether the second charge level of the battery after charging reaches the second preset charge threshold.

[0182] In some embodiments, if the number of first discharge cycles does not reach the upper limit of the first preset range, and the battery is in a charging state during the current charge-discharge cycle, it is determined whether the second charge level of the battery after charging reaches the second preset charge threshold; if the second charge level reaches the second preset charge threshold, step 607 will be executed.

[0183] In other embodiments, if the second power level has not reached the second preset power threshold, the battery is continuously charged until the battery power level reaches the second preset power threshold.

[0184] In step 607, the power-off voltage is adjusted to the first discharge cutoff voltage, and a modification command for the fuel gauge is triggered.

[0185] In some embodiments, upon obtaining the adjusted power-off voltage, a modification instruction is triggered for the fuel gauge; wherein the modification instruction instructs the fuel gauge to update the voltage value used to calculate the remaining battery capacity to the adjusted power-off voltage; based on the modification instruction, the fuel gauge calculates the remaining capacity based on the adjusted power-off voltage and the current discharge voltage of the battery.

[0186] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the first discharge cycle number of the battery is obtained within the current charge-discharge cycle; then, when the first discharge cycle number is within a first preset range, a first discharge cutoff voltage is determined based on the first preset range and a preset mapping relationship; wherein, the preset mapping relationship is used to characterize the relationship between each preset range and the discharge cutoff voltage; finally, the power-off voltage is adjusted to the first discharge cutoff voltage.

[0187] On the one hand, since the first discharge cutoff voltage varies with different first preset ranges throughout the battery's lifespan, and the shutdown voltage can change with the first cutoff voltage, the shutdown voltage can be gradually increased in the early stage of the discharge cycle based on the preset mapping relationship to alleviate battery aging and reduce the problem of battery bulging caused by prolonged discharge to low voltage. In the later stage of the discharge cycle, the shutdown voltage can be gradually decreased based on the preset mapping relationship, thereby maximizing the high capacity benefits of silicon materials to ensure the battery's discharge capacity and improve its range.

[0188] On the other hand, since the shutdown voltage has been adjusted to correspond to the first discharge cutoff voltage in the later stage of the discharge cycle, even if the DCR increases, the battery discharge voltage will not reach the shutdown voltage in advance, thus preventing the electronic device from shutting down unexpectedly, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.
