Battery Charging Control via Temperature and Charge Thresholds

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism that decouples temperature monitoring from charging termination decisions. A temperature sensor continuously monitors battery temperature, but the charging termination is determined by charge status thresholds rather than temperature thresholds. The temperature data serves as a safety constraint that modifies charging parameters, not as the primary termination criterion. This intermediary approach allows charging to continue beyond what traditional temperature-based systems would terminate, achieving full charging while maintaining safety through separate temperature management.

The patent inverts the traditional charging control logic by making charge status the primary termination criterion rather than temperature. Instead of terminating charging when temperature reaches a threshold (which causes premature termination), the system terminates charging when charge status reaches a threshold, while using temperature data to adjust charging rates and ensure safety. This inversion resolves the contradiction by prioritizing charging completeness while maintaining safety through reversed control logic.

The patent implements dynamic charging parameters that adjust based on real-time charge status and temperature conditions. The charging current and voltage are dynamically modified according to the battery's state, allowing aggressive charging when appropriate while reducing intensity when temperature concerns arise. This dynamic approach enables high charging speeds without causing excessive temperature rises that would lead to false temperature readings and premature termination.

The patent changes the control parameter from temperature threshold to charge status threshold, fundamentally altering how charging intensity is regulated. By using charge status as the primary parameter and temperature as a secondary constraint, the system can maintain aggressive charging parameters longer without triggering false temperature-based termination. This parameter change allows the system to achieve faster charging while maintaining accurate temperature monitoring for safety purposes.
