For fear of unnecessarily bluring the description of this invention, these functional parts are not described in detail here.
Batteries of the present invention can comprise the secondary battery unit of different numbers.In the exemplary embodiment, batteries 300 can comprise 24 secondary battery units.
Batteries 300 comprises elementary electric power storage pond group 300 (1), 300 (2) ... 300 (n), each elementary electric power storage pond group is used for load 400 direct direct current supplys.Each elementary electric power storage pond group 300 (1), 300 (2) ... 300 (n) can comprise the secondary battery unit of series connection more than two.
Each elementary electric power storage pond group can comprise the secondary battery unit of equal number or the secondary battery unit of varying number.For example, each elementary electric power storage pond group can comprise 2,3,4,6,8 or 12 secondary battery units.In the exemplary embodiment, each elementary electric power storage pond group can comprise for example 6 secondary battery units respectively.Therefore, batteries of the present invention is carried out scale easily and is expanded, and is easy to realize that modular system is integrated.
In the exemplary embodiment, secondary battery unit is that nominal voltage is the lead acid accumulator of 2V.Each elementary electric power storage pond group 300 (1), 300 (2) ... 300 (n) comprise 6 such lead acid accumulators.That is, each elementary electric power storage pond group provides the nominal voltage of 12V.
N is the positive integer more than or equal to 2, and the number of the secondary battery unit that it comprises with batteries is relevant with the number of the secondary battery unit that each elementary electric power storage pond group comprises.Comprise the situation of 24 secondary battery units for batteries, when each elementary electric power storage pond group for example comprised 4 secondary battery units, n equaled 6.In the exemplary embodiment, when each elementary electric power storage pond group for example comprised 6 secondary battery units respectively, n equaled 4, promptly has 4 elementary electric power storage pond groups 300 (1), 300 (2), 300 (3) and 300 (4).

In traditional series connection batteries, there is individual difference in the different batteries unit in the batteries, if this individual difference gets the brush-off, will cause the batteries service efficiency to reduce, and reduces the useful life of storage battery.Particularly; Each secondary battery unit is because the quality of storage battery is inequality; Little, the ropy accumulator voltage of capacity the situation that build-up of voltage is Duoed than another storage battery can occur after charging into same charge, if do not take measures, their voltage difference will increase; So that one of them storage battery reaches the safe voltage of regulation very soon, charging process also will be compelled to stop.Should stop the high storage battery of charging voltage this moment, promptly stops equalizing charge.Help the secondary battery unit that recovers impaired in the storage battery like this, charging process can successfully be carried out.According to the method for management of charging and discharging of the present invention, can solve these technical problems.
Describe method in detail below in conjunction with Fig. 2 according to management of charging and discharging of the present invention.
In first step, secondary battery unit is connected in series forms primary/secondary electric power storage pond group.24 secondary battery units are divided into 4 elementary electric power storage pond groups, and each elementary electric power storage pond group comprises 6 secondary battery units and therefore the nominal voltage of 12V is provided.In addition, said elementary electric power storage pond group is connected in series, thereby respectively 24V is provided, the secondary electric power storage pond group of the nominal voltage of 36V and 48V.
In second step, come detection of primary electric power storage pond group 300 (1), 300 (2) through current-voltage sampling circuit ...

In the 6th step, when nominal voltage is the said secondary electric power storage pond group of 24V when all being charged to its saturation voltage, 36V bi-directional DC-DC rectification charge-discharge modules starts, thereby is that the secondary electric power storage pond group of 36V is charged to nominal voltage.
According to being the similar mode of primary/secondary electric power storage pond group of 12V, 24V with nominal voltage; Judge whether once over-discharge can of this secondary electric power storage pond group; And will this secondary electric power storage pond group trickle charge under the situation of over-discharge can once to the threshold voltage that can accept boost charge, then should secondary electric power storage pond group boost charge to saturation voltage.Similar with abovementioned steps, the charge rate of trickle charge can be C/15-C/10, is preferably C/12; The charge rate of boost charge can be 2C-10C, is preferably 5C; The threshold voltage that can accept boost charge is the 85-95% of the nominal voltage of secondary electric power storage pond group for example, is preferably 33V; And this saturation voltage is preferably 36.7V than the high 5-25% of nominal voltage of this secondary electric power storage pond group.
In the 7th step, when nominal voltage is the said secondary electric power storage pond group of 36V when all being charged to its saturation voltage, 48V bi-directional DC-DC rectification charge-discharge modules starts, thereby is that the secondary electric power storage pond group of 48V is charged to nominal voltage.
