Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting specific discharge current intervals and terminal voltage points that are most informative for battery state detection. Instead of performing exhaustive measurements across all possible intervals, the system pre-determines the optimal measurement points, allowing rapid accurate detection without sacrificing precision.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by performing only the minimum necessary measurements (terminal voltage at specific discharge current intervals) required to accurately determine battery state. Instead of conducting exhaustive discharge tests or continuous monitoring, the system performs selective partial measurements that consume minimal energy while maintaining high detection accuracy.

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

A battery state detection method includes: presetting at least one discharge method and at least one discharge condition of a battery set for estimating a battery state, with the discharge condition including a discharge voltage, discharge time or a relative battery impedance variation; executing a partial discharge procedure of the battery set and measuring partial discharge data; and directly calculating battery state data of the partial discharge data under the discharge method and the discharge condition. The battery state data include a SOH (state of health) datum, a SOC (state of charge) datum or a residual discharging time datum. The detection of the battery set is suitable for a manual operation system, a remote control monitoring system or an automatic scheduling system.
