[ first embodiment ]
Fig. 2 is a functional block diagram of a battery health management device suitable for a battery according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, the battery health management apparatus a includes a detection circuit 1 and a controller 2. The detection circuit 1 includes a first input terminal 11 and a first output terminal 12, and the controller 2 includes a second input terminal 21 and a second output terminal 22. The first input terminal 11 of the detection circuit 1 is electrically connected to the battery B so as to detect the battery voltage and the battery current of the battery B. The first output terminal 12 of the detection circuit 1 is electrically connected to the second input terminal 21 of the controller 2, so that the controller 2 obtains the battery voltage and the battery current of the battery B. The second output terminal 22 of the controller 2 is electrically connected to the battery B and performs a battery health management method on the battery B according to the battery voltage and the battery current.
Specifically, the type of the battery B to which the battery health management device a is applied is not limited, and the battery B may be, for example, a battery of an uninterruptible power system or a fuel cell. The controller 2 may be, for example, a Microprocessor (Microprocessor) or a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), etc., or other similar devices or combinations thereof. Regarding the embodiments of the detection circuit 1 and the controller 2, the detection circuit 1 and the controller 2 may be two different chips respectively, or integrated on the same chip.
In another embodiment of the battery health management apparatus a, the battery health management apparatus a may further include a first wireless communication module and a second wireless communication module, the detection circuit 1 and the controller 2 are electrically connected to the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module, respectively, after the detection circuit 1 obtains the battery voltage and the battery current of the battery B, the controller 2 obtains the battery voltage and the battery current of the battery B through the communication connection of the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module.
Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a battery health management method according to a first embodiment of the present application. In step S31, the battery B is charged by a constant current/constant voltage charging method (CCCV) through the controller 2 so that the battery voltage of the battery B is increased from the initial voltage to the rated voltage. In the constant current/constant voltage charging method, the controller 2 first charges the battery B with a constant current until the battery voltage of the battery B rises from the initial voltage to the rated voltage. Then, the controller 2 charges the battery B with a constant voltage so that the battery voltage of the battery B is maintained at the rated voltage for charging until the battery current of the battery B decreases to the off-charging current. The magnitude of the constant current and the constant voltage are properly adjusted according to the requirement of the user.
In step S32, after the constant current/constant voltage charging method is finished, the controller 2 drives the battery B to sequentially perform step discharging for a plurality of times until the battery voltage of the battery B is reduced to the storage voltage. Each step of discharging includes the controller 2 driving the battery B to discharge according to a fixed expected discharge rate and causing the battery B to enter the standing phase. And the battery B can automatically discharge according to the standing discharge rate in the standing stage. Wherein, the battery B enters the standing stage after the controller 2 drives the battery B to discharge according to the fixed expected discharge rate, and the fixed expected discharge rate is greater than the standing discharge rate. In detail, each time step discharge is performed, the battery B is driven to discharge according to a constant current through the controller 2, after the controller 2 finishes driving the battery B to discharge according to the constant current, the battery B enters a standing phase, in the standing phase of the battery B, the battery voltage of the battery B is increased by a voltage difference instantly, and then the battery voltage of the battery B is continuously decreased until the standing phase is finished.
In step S33, when the battery voltage of the battery B decreases to the storage voltage, the battery B is recharged by a constant current/constant voltage charging method (CC/CV) through the controller 2 so that the battery voltage increases from the storage voltage to the rated voltage. Specifically, in order to ensure that the charge of the battery B is sufficient for normal use, the controller 2 recharges the battery B by a constant current/constant voltage charging method (CC/CV) each time the battery voltage of the battery B drops from the rated voltage to the storage voltage.
With respect to the battery health management method of fig. 3, for example, for a rechargeable battery used in a terminal device, a charging and discharging procedure is continuously performed for a plurality of times to ensure that the battery capacity is sufficient for normal use. In each charge/discharge process, the battery voltage of the rechargeable battery is charged to a rated voltage by a constant current/constant voltage charging method (CC/CV). After the constant current/constant voltage charging method is finished, step discharging is sequentially performed a plurality of times until the battery voltage drops from the rated voltage to the storage voltage.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart of a battery health management method according to a second embodiment of the present application. In step S41, battery B is charged by a constant current/constant voltage charging method (CC/CV) through controller 2 so that the battery voltage of battery B is raised from the initial voltage to the rated voltage.
In step S42, after the constant current/constant voltage charging method is finished, the controller 2 drives the battery B to sequentially perform the step discharging for a plurality of times until the battery voltage of the battery B is reduced to the storage voltage. Each step of discharging includes that the controller 2 drives the battery B to discharge according to the non-fixed expected discharging rate and the battery B is allowed to stand to discharge according to the standing discharging rate, wherein in the standing stage of the battery B, after the controller 2 drives the battery B to discharge according to the non-fixed expected discharging rate, the non-fixed expected discharging rate is greater than the standing discharging rate. With respect to the non-fixed expected discharge rate, it is meant that battery B is not discharged at a constant current, and the discharge current of battery B is not a fixed value, for example, the discharge current of battery B may continuously increase or continuously decrease over time.
In step S43, when the battery voltage of the battery B decreases to the storage voltage, the battery B is recharged by a constant current/constant voltage charging method (CC/CV) through the controller 2 so that the battery voltage increases from the storage voltage to the rated voltage.
Fig. 5 is a graph of battery voltage versus time using the battery health management method of fig. 3. The controller 2 first charges the battery B by a constant current/constant voltage charging method (CCCV), which covers two periods, and in a first period (0-T1), the controller 2 first charges the battery B by a constant current of 1A, so that the battery voltage of the battery B is increased from an initial voltage (3.0V) to a rated voltage (4.0V). In the second period (T1 to T2), the controller 2 charges the battery B through a constant voltage of 4V to maintain the battery voltage of the battery B at a rated voltage (4.0V) until the battery current of the battery B drops to a cutoff charging current (e.g., 0.5A).
In a third time period (T2-T3 days), the controller 2 drives the battery B to sequentially perform step discharge for a plurality of times until the battery voltage of the battery B decreases from the rated voltage (4.0V) to the storage voltage (3.9V). The number of step discharges is shown as 8 in fig. 5, but the present application is not limited thereto. Each time step discharge is performed, controller 2 first drives battery B to discharge for 1 minute at a constant current of 1A (S1), and then brings battery B into the standing phase for about 1 hour (S2), and if the standing phase of battery B in fig. 5 (S2) is enlarged, the battery voltage of battery B actually instantaneously rises by a voltage difference, and then battery B discharges itself. The sum of the first period to the third period in fig. 5 is about two days, and the lengths of the three periods vary according to the cell materials and the cell capacities.
In a fourth period (T3 to T4), when the battery voltage of the battery B decreases from the rated voltage to the storage voltage through the multi-step discharge, the battery B is recharged by the controller 2 by a constant current/constant voltage charging method (CC/CV) so that the battery voltage of the battery B increases from the storage voltage (3.9V) to the rated voltage (4.0V).
[ advantageous effects of the embodiments ]
One of the advantages of the present application is that, through the battery health management method and the battery health management apparatus of the present application, the battery is driven to perform the step discharge for multiple times in sequence, so that the battery is always in the relaxed dynamic discharge state, compared with the conventional self-discharge only when the battery is in a static state, the time required by the voltage of the battery to decrease from the rated voltage to the storage voltage is greatly reduced, and the self-discharge time of the battery in the static state is also shortened. Therefore, the time that the battery voltage of the battery is higher than the storage voltage is greatly shortened, and the purpose of delaying the aging of the battery is achieved.
