It follows that will be described in battery management unit 12 according to obtaining the first battery 10 and battery of the second battery 11 The process of state.
Such as, battery management unit 12 can obtain the first battery 10 and second according to first threshold and Second Threshold The battery status of battery 11.Here, this first threshold and Second Threshold may each be the surplus of the first battery 10 or the second battery 11 Remaining electricity.Such as, first threshold can be the 20% of total electricity of the first battery 10 or the second battery 11, and Second Threshold is permissible Be the first battery 10 or the second battery 11 total electricity 5%.It is enumerated above the example of first threshold and Second Threshold, But, the invention is not restricted to this, as long as ensureing that first threshold is more than Second Threshold, it is also possible to use other threshold value as first Threshold value and Second Threshold, and can determine based on empirical value or experiment value.Here, battery management unit 12 can be by arbitrarily Electricity estimating techniques obtain the first battery 10 and dump energy of the second battery 11, and can based on the first battery 10 with And second battery 11 dump energy and total electricity of the first battery 10 and the second battery 11 determine the first battery 10 with And second battery 11 dump energy and first threshold and Second Threshold between relation.
Specifically, if battery management unit 12 determines that the dump energy of the first battery 10 is more than the first of the first battery 10 Threshold value, then battery management unit determines that 12 first batteries 10 are in high state of charge (electricity is more than 20%).Similarly, if electric Pond administrative unit 12 determines the dump energy first threshold more than the second battery 11 of the second battery 11, then battery management unit 12 Determine that the second battery 11 is in high state of charge.
If additionally, the dump energy that battery management unit 12 determines the first battery 10 less than or equal to first threshold and is more than Second Threshold, then battery management unit 12 determines that the first battery 10 is in low state of charge (electricity is between 5% ~ 20%).Similar Ground, if the dump energy that battery management unit 12 determines the second battery 11 less than or equal to first threshold and is more than Second Threshold, Then battery management unit 12 determines that the second battery 11 is in low state of charge.
