After the plurality of battery pack modules are connected in series to form a required power energy system, the battery pack modules are connected with a battery main control module and a battery charger, the battery main control module is also connected with an upper computer, a whole set of lithium battery system capable of being charged can be completed, and the whole set of battery system is subjected to unified charging control through the upper computer.
Currently, the general control strategy for the lithium battery management system in the market charging is as follows:
(1) after the battery charger is connected with the battery main control module, the upper computer sends a charging instruction to the battery main control module, the battery main control module closes the relay, the charging loop is connected, relevant information of the battery system is read back, if the battery system is in a normal State, the charging instruction is sent to the battery charger to start charging, and the control unit calculates the SOC (State of charge) value of the battery core through the current detector in a coulomb calculation mode.
(2) The control unit continuously communicates with the signal acquisition unit to acquire the temperature and the charging state of the battery core, the signal acquisition unit acquires the voltage value of the battery core through the detection circuit during charging, compares the voltage value with a set overcharge protection voltage value, sends an alarm to the control unit when the voltage value exceeds a set value, and the control unit synchronously starts the balance circuit to perform micro power discharge on the battery core until the voltage value of the battery core is lower than the set protection value and releases the overcharge protection state; meanwhile, after the control unit receives the alarm sent by the signal acquisition unit, the relay is also disconnected, so that the connection with a battery charger loop is disconnected for protection, and the overcharge protection condition can be carried out until the signal acquisition unit releases the alarm, and then the charging process can be carried out.
With the above connection mode and charging control strategy, the following problems exist:
(1) the detection circuit and the balance circuit in the current signal acquisition unit share one signal line due to cost consideration, and when the balance circuit is started, voltage drop is generated to enable the voltage value of the battery cell acquired by the detection circuit to deviate from the true value. Because of the above problems, most of the balance circuits in the signal acquisition units on the market are configured with a small power resistor to avoid the acquisition distortion of the detection circuit caused by voltage drop, but when the balance circuit is configured in a large-capacity battery cell, the battery cell cannot be maintained because the discharge time of the battery cell is too long due to the too small power of the balance circuit.

step five, when the voltage value of the battery cell is reduced from the second preset voltage value to a third preset voltage value, the signal acquisition unit sends a third alarm signal to the control unit, and the control unit sends a closing instruction to a balance circuit of the signal acquisition unit according to the third alarm signal and closes the balance circuit;
step six, when the voltage value of the battery cell rises from a third preset voltage value to a fourth preset voltage value, the signal acquisition unit sends a fourth alarm signal to the control unit, the control unit sends a starting instruction to a balance circuit of the signal acquisition unit according to the fourth alarm signal, and the balance circuit is started to discharge the battery cell;
and seventhly, when the voltage value of the battery core is reduced from the fourth preset voltage value to the fifth preset voltage value again, repeating the fifth step until the voltage value of the battery core is stabilized within the range of the sixth preset voltage value, sending a fifth alarm signal to the control unit by the signal acquisition unit, sending a control signal to the control end of the relay by the control unit according to the fifth alarm signal, disconnecting the relay, disconnecting the charging loop from the battery charger, and sending a charging stopping instruction to the battery charger.
6. The lithium battery charging management method of claim 5, wherein the first step of the method further comprises: the control unit sends charging power to the battery charger, and the battery charger adjusts an output current value according to the charging power.
7. The lithium battery charging management method according to claim 5, wherein the fourth step of the method further comprises: the control unit sends the charging state of the battery cell to the upper computer, and the upper computer displays the charging state as the maintenance of the battery cell.
8. The lithium battery charging management method according to claim 5, wherein the seventh step of the method further comprises: the control unit sends the charging state of the battery cell to the upper computer, and the upper computer displays the charging state as the maintenance completion of the battery cell.
9. The lithium battery charging management method according to claim 5, wherein: the third preset voltage value is equal to the fifth preset voltage value, and the second preset voltage value is equal to the fourth preset voltage value.
10. The lithium battery charging management method according to claim 9, wherein: the range of the sixth preset voltage value is larger than the third preset voltage value and smaller than the second preset voltage value.
