Battery pack having memory

In an exemplary embodiment, a battery conditioning system monitors battery conditioning and includes a memory for storing data based thereon; for example, data may be stored representative of available battery capacity as measured during a deep discharge cycle. With a microprocessor monitoring battery operation of a portable unit, a measure of remaining battery capacity can be calculated and displayed. Where the microprocessor and battery conditioning system memory are permanently secured to the battery so as to receive operating power therefrom during storage and handling, the performance of a given battery in actual use can be accurately judged since the battery system can itself maintain a count of accumulated hours of use and other relevant parameters. In the case of a nonportable conditioning system, two-way communication may be established with a memory associated with the portable unit so that the portable unit can transmit to the conditioning system information concerning battery parameters (e.g. rated battery capacity) and/or battery usage (e.g. numbers of shallow discharge and recharge cycles), and after a conditioning operation, the conditioning system can transmit to the portable unit a measured value of battery capacity, for example. A battery pack having memory stores battery history and identifying data to be retrieved by a portable battery powered device. Battery status information may be utilized in conjunction with characteristic battery history data in order to optimize charging and discharging functions and to maximize the useful life of a battery pack.

Combined estimation method for lithium ion battery state of charge, state of health and state of function

ActiveCN105301509AGuaranteed estimation accuracyImprove state estimation performanceElectrical testingInternal resistanceState of health
The invention provides a combined estimation method for lithium ion battery state of charge, state of health and state of function. The combined estimation method comprises the steps that the state of he---alth of a battery is estimated online: open circuit voltage and internal resistance are identified online by adopting a recursive least square method with a forgetting factor, the state of charge is indirectly acquired according to a pre-established OCV-SOC corresponding relation, and then the size of battery capacity is estimated according to cumulative charge and discharge electric charge between two SOC points; the state of charge of the battery is estimated online: the state of charge of the battery is estimated by adopting the Kalman filter algorithm based on a two-order RC equivalent circuit model, and the battery capacity parameter in the Kalman filter algorithm is updated according to the estimation result of battery capacity; and the state of function of the battery is estimated online: the maximum chargeable and dischargeable current is calculated based on the voltage limit and the current limit of the battery according to internal resistance obtained by online identification, and then the maximum chargeable and dischargeable function can be obtained through further calculation.

Self-diagnostic circuitry for emergency lighting fixtures

Electronic self-test and/or self-diagnostic systems particularly useful with emergency lighting fixtures, including exit signage having light emitting diodes as light sources and unit emergency fixtures powered with lead-acid batteries, the systems perform testing and diagnostic functions on the circuitry, power supply, charger and lamping of such fixtures either by manual or automatic initiation. Testing functions are provided through use of a programmable microprocessor, the diagnostic circuitry not only monitoring operation of charger/transfer circuitry but also controlling the charger/transfer circuitry to enable alternate strategies for alleviation of a given failure. In emergency mode of a light emitting diode exit sign, a microprocessor-controlled two-stage inverter is employed not only to power the LED light source, but also to efficiently power the microprocessor. Power to the microprocessor is controlled by the microprocessor itself and can therefore be discontinued after appropriate operation until mains power is restored, thereby effectively reducing power consumption to zero. System operation can be flexibly configured through use of a two-wire serial link between modular elements of the system. Incandescent emergency unit fixtures due to high drain rates and output loads require emergency mode operation through use of lead-acid batteries, thereby requiring voltage controlled charging and relay transfer, the self-test and/or self-diagnostic circuitry of the invention used with emergency unit fixtures thus differing in various respects from the circuitry employed for the LED exit signage fixtures and primarily in the need to measure both charge and discharge currents, the circuitry having a larger dynamic range in addition to a capability of measuring both positive and negative currents.
