[ 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 a battery B for detecting a battery voltage and a 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 kind of the battery B to which the battery health management apparatus a is applied is not limited, and the battery may be, for example, a battery of an uninterruptible power system or a fuel cell. The controller 2 is, for example, a Microprocessor (Microprocessor) or a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), or the like, 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, for example, two different chips respectively or integrated in the same chip.
In other embodiments 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, and the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module are in communication connection with each other. 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 (CC/CV) 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 to maintain the battery voltage of the battery B at the rated voltage for charging until the battery current of the battery decreases to the cut-off charging current. The magnitude of the constant current and the constant voltage during charging is properly adjusted according to the requirement of the user.
In step S32, after the constant current/constant voltage charging method is finished, the battery B is driven to discharge according to a fixed expected discharge rate through the controller 2, so that the battery voltage of the battery B is decreased from the rated voltage to the storage voltage. In detail, after the constant current/constant voltage charging method is finished, the battery B is driven to discharge according to the constant current through the controller 2, so that the battery voltage of the battery B is reduced from the rated voltage to the storage voltage.
In step S33, after the battery voltage of battery B decreases from the rated voltage to the storage voltage, battery B is left to discharge by itself according to the left discharge rate. Specifically, at the beginning of the resting stage of battery B, the battery voltage of battery B instantaneously rises by a voltage difference from the storage voltage, and then the battery voltage of battery B continuously drops until the battery voltage of battery B is equal to the storage voltage.
Further, the fixed expected discharge rate in step S32 is larger than the stationary discharge rate in step S33.
In step S34, when the battery voltage of the battery B after standing is equal 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 of the battery B is increased 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 to the storage voltage in the standing stage.
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, the battery is driven by the controller to discharge according to the expected discharge rate until the battery voltage drops from the rated voltage to the storage voltage. The battery enters a rest phase when the battery voltage of the battery drops to a storage voltage, wherein the expected discharge rate is greater than the rest discharge rate of the battery during the rest phase.
[ second embodiment ]
Fig. 4 is a flowchart of a battery health management method according to a second embodiment of the present application. In step S41, the battery B is charged by a constant current/constant voltage charging method (CC/CV) through the controller 2 so that the battery voltage of the battery B is increased from the initial voltage to the rated voltage.
In step S42, after the constant current/constant voltage charging method is finished, the battery B is driven to discharge according to the non-fixed expected discharge rate through the controller 2, so that the battery voltage of the battery B is decreased from the rated voltage to the storage voltage. In detail, the battery B is not discharged with a constant current, and the discharge current of the battery B is not a fixed value, for example, the discharge current of the battery B may continuously increase with time or continuously decrease with time.
In step S43, after the battery voltage of battery B decreases from the rated voltage to the storage voltage, battery B is left to discharge by itself according to the left discharge rate. Further, the non-fixed expected discharge rate in step S42 is larger than the stationary discharge rate when the battery is stationary in step S33.
In step S44, when the battery voltage of the battery B after standing is equal 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 of the battery B is increased 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 the 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 a 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) for charging until the battery current of the battery B drops to a cut-off charging current (e.g., 0.5A).
In a third time period (T2-T3), the battery B is driven by the controller 2 to discharge according to the constant current of 1A, so that the battery voltage of the battery B is decreased from the rated voltage (4.0V) to the storage voltage (3.9V).
In the fourth period (T3 to T4), after the battery voltage of battery B decreases from the rated voltage to the storage voltage, battery B is left to discharge by itself. Specifically, when the battery B is at the beginning of the standing phase, the battery voltage of the battery B is first increased from the storage voltage (3.9V) to the first voltage (about 3.93V) instantaneously, and then the battery voltage of the battery B is decreased from the first voltage to the storage voltage (3.9V), and the sum of the first time interval to the fourth time interval is about one to two weeks, and the time duration is different according to the material of the battery core.
In a fifth time period (T4-T5), when the battery voltage of the battery B after standing is equal 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 of the battery B is increased from the storage voltage (3.9V) to the rated voltage (4.0V).
