Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0001]    The present invention, a method and system for equalizing and matching lithium secondary batteries, belongs to the field of secondary batteries. In particular, it relates to a matching method for lithium ion battery group, equalization protection board and charger, as well as the power supply system formed thereof. 
       BACKGROUND ART 
       [0002]    There are a lot of patents and literatures currently available about the battery equalizing and matching, equalization of protection board, equalization of charger, and equalization of power supply system. A Chinese patent application with the Application No. 201110186716.1, introduced a consistency screening method for the lithium secondary batteries. Charging the battery to a low state of charge via the approach of multi-stage constant current and constant voltage, and laying for a suitable period of time, selecting the battery cell whose voltage is within a certain range to be used for the battery group matching. However, no matter how the battery cells are selected, two batteries always have some difference between them. So, if the requirement for consistency is set too high, the pass rate of the battery available for matching will be low; while if the requirement for consistency is set too low, the reliability of the matched battery group will be low. So, it needs to weigh the choices between the two factors. 
         [0003]    Currently, the control parameters for the grade dividing and group matching of battery cell comprise capacity, voltage, internal resistance, and etc. In regard to the control for battery self-consumption, it usually set the state of charge of battery cells as full charge SOC 100% or half charge SOC 50%, and then lay them at room temperature or at 45˜50° C. for a pre-determined period of time, and the battery cells with the voltage greater than or equal to the pre-determined standard value are the qualified. Alternatively, dividing the grade based on the voltage, i.e., measure the battery cell voltage and then divide the grade accordingly. The grade dividing based on the voltage has a certain degree of control to the level of battery self-consumption. However, due to the fact that after charging or discharging, the voltages of various battery cells are different themselves, which is because of the difference of various battery cells and the difference of the test cabinet points. Since the voltages of the battery cells are different from themselves, the grade dividing based on the voltage cannot accurately divide the grades according to the battery self-consumption. 
         [0004]    Among the currently available battery self-consumption testing and sorting system, some of them accomplish the grade dividing via the voltage difference; i.e., after measuring the battery voltage, lay it aside for a pre-set period of time, and then measure its voltage again, and based on the difference of the voltage before and after to conduct the grade dividing. Such grade dividing based on the voltage difference is a progress from the grade dividing that is based on the voltage. However, due to the facts that the battery cells from different grades of voltage difference usually have different self-consumption or consumable current; and sometimes such difference is quite large, the magnitude of the consumable current and the range of the consumable current of individual battery cell are actually unknown. So, it cannot design and clearly control battery group&#39;s laying service life. The standard method for measure the self-consumption is, according to the national or industry standard, measuring the charge retention capability of a battery. After the standard charging and discharging for 1 week with the battery or battery group, measure out the standard capacity C 5 , next perform standard charging, and then under the condition of the environmental temperature at 23° C.±2° C., lay it aside as open circuit for 28 days, next discharge it with 0.2 C 5  mA to the cut-off voltage, and measure out the capacity after the laying C 5 ′, so the charge retention capability=C 5 ′/C 5 ×100%. The lost part is the self-consumption rate=(C 5 −C 5 ′)/C 5 ×100%. In the industry, the processes of battery shelving, storing and assembling are usually operated at the state of full charge or half charge. Within the range of SOC 50˜100%, the voltage changes of certain types of batteries are quite insignificant, such as the fully charged 10 Ah lithium iron phosphate-graphite battery, following charging, its open circuit stable voltage is 3.338 V, then discharging for 1 h with 1 A, 1 Ah has been discharged, the SOC is 90% and the open circuit stable voltage changes to 3.334 V; then discharge it again with 1 A, and another 1 Ah has been discharged, SOC becomes 80% and its open circuit stable voltage changes to 3.332 V. Although the currently available voltage measurement technology is able to measure with the accuracy up to 0.1 mV, or even higher accuracy; as for the large scale production in the factory, the environmental temperature, air direction from the air conditioner, pressure of the measurement probe, the contacting position, and etc, may all influence the measurement accuracy for the voltage. Or the values shown in the measurement keep randomly changing, which makes it hardly can be determined manually; even for a machine, it can only made the determination randomly. So, the actual accuracy may be just at 0.1˜1 mV. 
         [0005]    In the battery group, there are always some differences of the consumable current between individual battery cells. During the processes of storing, shelving, placing, and using, due to the difference of the consumable current, the consistency among the individual battery cells, in particular the state of charge (SOC), keeps changing, and such difference gradually becomes bigger. Thus over a period of time, the battery group is going to fail. A battery group needs to be equipped with the equalization protection board. During the process of charging, it makes the states of charge of various individual battery cells become consistent. In the case when the equalization current of the equalization protection board does not match the range of the consumable current of the battery cells, and the range of the consumable current of the battery cell is too large, during charging process, it cannot make the states of charge of various individual battery cells become consistent within a reasonable period of time. In addition, if the charger does not match the equalization capability of the equalization protection board, and the charging cut-off current is much larger than the equalization current of equalization protection board, then in such a case, when the equalization is just started or even has not started yet, the charging is already terminated, then during the process of charging, it cannot make the states of charge of various individual battery cells become consistent, either. 
         [0006]    There are mainly two equalization methods currently available. One method is the passive equalization, which only functions during the charging process. When a certain battery cell reaches the equalization initiation voltage, a part of the current will be leaked via a bypass resistor, thus to reduce the charging speed of the battery cell of a high voltage, and allow it to wait for the voltage increase of the battery cell of a low voltage. During the equalization process, it will generate heat; and its equalization efficiency is low. Yet its main advantage is the low price tag. This is the widely utilized equalization method. The other one is the active equalization method. It extracts energy from the battery cell with a high voltage via an inductance coil, and then transports it to the battery cell with a low voltage. Thus it has a very small energy loss; and generates almost no heat; as well as has a high equalization efficiency. This is a very good equality method. Nevertheless, its equalization cost is too high, which could be 3˜5 fold of that of the passive equalization method. 
         [0007]    The currently available equalizing and matching methods for the lithium secondary battery have certain drawbacks. They cannot ensure that the range of the consumable current of the battery cell within a controllable range; and cannot make a relational design of the range of the consumable current of the battery cells, the equalization current of the equalization protection board and the charging cut-off current of the charger; and also cannot effectively control the laying service life of a battery group. 
       SUMMARY OF INVENTION

         [0009]    The objective of the present invention is to address the technical difficulties of the currently available technology, and provide a system for equalizing and matching lithium secondary battery of a low utilization cost. 
         [0010]    Studies have been conducted on the battery group with no equalization protection board for the impacts of the difference of the consumable current, laying time, capacity difference, internal resistance difference, difference of the constant charging current ratio, to the charging and discharging performances of the battery group. It has been found that the difference of consumable current and laying time are the major impact factors. And the impact from the difference of capacity is the next to those two factors. While the impacts from the difference of internal resistance and from the difference of constant charging current ratio, are relatively small. One of the most common reasons of battery group failure is that the voltage of a certain battery cell in the battery group becomes too low or even close to the zero voltage. When testing the consumable current of the battery cells in the same battery group, the consumable current of that battery cell with low voltage is relatively large. During our studies about the relationship between the battery group laying service life and the range of the consumable current of the battery cells, the obtained result has been summarized in Table 1 below.

Based on the equalization current and that usually the equalization time of a single charging is 0.5 h, in order to make up the range of capacity after the laying post full charge, it is the corresponding laying time. The equalization charge is to use the matched charger to charge the battery till the cut-off of the charger or of the protection board. It is not the cut off manually made in advance. If the laying time is longer that of the equalization charge period of time, it then needs many times of equalization charge and discharge in order to make up the range of the capacity after laying.

         [0000]    Voltage sensitive region: based on the characteristic of battery cell discharging, usually according to the 0.2 C 5  discharging feature, and select the voltage range with the large change of discharging voltage. Generally, the voltage section is selected with the range of SOC as more than 0.005, SOC change as 0.001, and the voltage change is greater than 3 mV, voltage range is over 30 mV. Such section can be found at the end of discharging of any type of lithium secondary battery. In certain systems, such as lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide—hard carbon, such section can be found in the entire discharging process. The battery cell is set for laying in the voltage sensitive region, via the measurement of voltage difference, it is convenient to recognize the battery cells with different consumable current. With the selection of different voltage sensitive regions, or charging and discharging to the different voltage points in the voltage sensitive region, the fitted Ic−ΔV equation will be different. 
         [0012]    The consumable current of the state of full charge is generally larger than the consumable current of the state of low charge. During the design, the consumable current of the state of full charge has been controlled in a relatively small range. At the same level of grade, during the laying period, most of them are in the state of full charge and are prepared for use. Long time of laying with the state of full charge can ensure the battery group have an appropriate laying service life. And at the state of low charge, the battery group&#39;s laying service life can be better ensured. The range of the consumable current of the battery cell can be selected and controlled. The equalization current of the equalization protection board can be designed and selected, and the cut-off current of the charger is also designable and selectable.

     DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS 
       [0083]    In reference to the embodiments, the present invention will be further described in details. 
         [0084]    The present invention, a method and system for equalizing and matching lithium secondary battery is achieved via the steps set forth below: 
         [0085]    1. Battery Grade Dividing and Battery Matching 
         [0086]    1.1 Grade dividing according to the consumable current and voltage difference: setting the qualified consumable current as Ics, and Ic≦Ics being the qualified. Ics≦0.0002232C 5 . which being equal to that the battery cell with its consumption rate less than or equal to 15% as the consumable current qualified; in order to ensure that the products comply with the industry standard, the company internal controls can be tightened. Using WIcs as the grade span length, W=0.05˜0.5, grade levels being (0, WIcs], (WIcs, 2 WIcs], (2WIcs, 3 WIcs], . . . ((h−1) WIcs, h WIcs], h W=1, number of grade h≦1/W, the number of grade h is related to the size of the grade span length WIcs and of the distribution of the consumable current. Some grades set according to the theory may actually not exist in the reality. 
         [0087]    The same grade range of consumable current 
         [0000]      Δ Ic=WIcs  
 
         [0088]    Can be determined based on the laying service life of the battery group. The longer the laying service life is required to be, the finer the grade dividing of consumable current should be. 
         [0089]    The consumable current Ic and the grade dividing of consumable current are reflected by the voltage difference. 
         [0090]    Select the voltage sensitive region with large voltage change in the discharge curve, then the battery cells are charged to a fixed point of voltage Vc within the selected voltage sensitive region with constant current and constant voltage, the battery cells being laid at room temperature for a time period t, then measuring a series of Ic values and ΔV values, fitting the Ic−ΔV equation, setting the qualified voltage difference and the grade levels of voltage difference. The battery cells laying time t at the room temperature is 1˜28 days. Next determine the grades of voltage difference according to the divided grades of the range of consumable current ΔIc. 
         [0091]    Example: in regard to lithium iron phosphate-graphite battery, the voltage sensitive region can be selected as 2˜3.2 V, SOC 0˜35%, and charge the battery to any voltage point in such voltage region, or discharge the battery to any voltage point in such voltage region. In regard to the lithium cobalt oxide—graphite battery, lithium manganese Oxide—graphite battery, lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide-graphite battery, the voltage sensitive region can be selected as 2.5˜3.7 V, SOC 0˜20%, and charge the battery to any voltage point in such voltage region, or discharge the battery to any voltage point in such voltage region. In general, if the battery is charged to the section of high voltage section within the voltage sensitive region, the voltage will drop; if the battery is discharged to the section of lower voltage within the sensitive region, the voltage will then rise. 
         [0092]    The specific approach is, the battery cells being charged to a fixed point of voltage Vc within the selected voltage sensitive region with constant current and constant voltage, the battery cells being laid with open circuit at room temperature, measuring and recording the voltage value once each hour, until the voltage difference between two consecutive measures being less than 1 mV, and using it as the battery cell laying initiation voltage V0, at room temperature laying a suitable time period t, t=1˜28 days, measuring the voltage Vt again, and the ΔV after being laid for the time period t. 
         [0093]    Measuring battery cells with different ΔV, and its corresponding relationship with the consumable current at the state of full charge Ic, and then fitting the Ic−ΔV equation; 
         [0000]        Ic=f (Δ V )
 
         [0094]    The trend chart in excel can be utilized to conduct the fitting. Fitting it until the correlation coefficient R 2 ≧0.99, the closer R 2  to 1, the better. When using the polynomial fitting, in general, the higher the selected order is, the closer the fitted correlation coefficient R 2  to 1; or other data processing technology can also be used for fitting the equation Ic=f (ΔV). 
         [0095]    Due to the differences of the selected voltage sensitive region, laying time t, laying environmental temperature, as well as the differences of the selected orders in the polynomial fitting, the equation reached from the fitting could be different. Albeit they may have a certain degree of bias, they are able to reflect the relationship between Ic and ΔV. 
         [0096]    With a series of Ic and ΔV values, the equation Ic=f (ΔV) can also be reached by fitting, so as to calculate the corresponding ΔV values of different Ic. In regard to the voltage measurement, it is easy to achieve the accuracy to ±1 mV, yet it is hard to achieve the accuracy to ±0.1 mV. The tiny changes of the factors such as testing environmental temperature, intensity of the probe contact, position of the probe contact, impact the testing data. In general, battery&#39;s ΔV value (accurate to ±1 mV) is within a definite range, the normal ones will be all listed, and the abnormal ones will be listed as the unqualified product. 
         [0097]    The battery group of series connected n piece of battery cells, the difference between the smallest consumable current and the largest consumable current is the range of consumable current of battery cells 
         [0000]      Δ Ic=Ic max− Ic min
 
         [0098]    In this way, the magnitudes of consumption rate and consumable current of various battery cells which have been charged to the fixed voltage point Vc and then laid aside for a time period t and thus are with different voltage decrease ΔV, can be clearly obtained. In this way, the laying service life of the battery group can be calculated. And this can be used to configure the equalization current of the equalization protection board and the charging cut-off current of the charger. 
         [0099]    The accomplishment of such basic work is helpful to understand the relationship of the values V0, Vt, ΔV, Ic and ΔIc. And later on, the follow up work is quite simple: charge the battery cells to the Vc with constant current and constant voltage, measure and record the stable voltage V0, lay for time period t, measure and record voltage Vt, and then calculate the value of ΔV.
       ΔV=(0, V1] being consumable current qualified   ΔV=(V2, V3] being consumable current at the same grade       
 
         [0102]    V1 has been used to control the max consumption of the battery group, which is correspondent to Ics; V2, V3 being used to control the max range of consumable current of the battery cells in the battery group, which is correspondent to the consumable current grade dividing h′ WIcs, h′=(0, h] natural number; as for different ΔV grade, V2 and V3 can be different, selecting the battery cells with the same grade of their consumable currents to perform the matching, so as to control the range of consumable current of the battery group. The present invention employs the consumable current at the full charge state as the control standard, via the corresponding function relation, further uses the voltage difference as the measurement control value, so as to ensure the suitable laying service life of the matched battery group. 
         [0103]    Testing and fitting the Ic−ΔV equation are the fundamental work, for a particular model system, such work only needs to be done once. In the production, coverts the grade divided according to the consumable current to the grade divided based on the voltage difference after laying, which is convenient and efficient. Utilize the bar code system of battery and the calculation function of excel, as long as the V0 and Vt have been measured and recorded, the ΔV, Ic and the ΔIc among individual battery cells within a matched battery group can all be calculated. 
         [0104]    Select the voltage sensitive region with large voltage change in the discharge curve, then the battery cells are charged to a fixed point of voltage Vc within the selected voltage sensitive region with constant current and constant voltage, the battery cells being laid at room temperature for a time period t, then measuring a series of Ic values and ΔV values, fitting the Ic−ΔV equation, setting the qualified voltage difference and the grade level of voltage difference. The battery cells laying time t at the room temperature is 1˜28 days. Next determine the grades of voltage difference according to the divided grades of the range of consumable current ΔIc. Yet the voltage grades are not necessarily to be an arithmetic progression. 
         [0105]    For example, concerning a 10000 mAh to lithium iron phosphate battery, as shown in Table 2, after being charged to the fixed voltage point of 3.15 V, at room temperature with open circuit laying for 7 days, its ΔV are between 5˜20 mV, and the calculated corresponding consumable currents are between 0.09˜1.371 mA. Set the battery with its consumable current less than or equal to 1.371 mA as the qualified, Ics=1.371 mA, set W=0.333, and uses W Ics=0.457 mA as the grade span length, the divided grade levels are (0, 0.457], (0.457, 0.914], (0.914, 1.371]. By virtue of the conversion between the consumable current Ic and the voltage difference ΔV, the actual operation would be the one with ΔV≦20 mV as the qualified. The grade levels according to the voltage difference would be (0, 12], (12, 16], (16, 20]. And the voltage grades are not an arithmetic progression. 
         [0106]    1.2 Dividing Grade Based on the Capacity: 
         [0107]    setting a qualified capacity Cs, C≧Cs being the qualified; Cs≧C 5 , using XCs as the grade span length, X=0.01˜0.1, grade levels being [Cs, (1+X) Cs), [(1+X) Cs, (1+2×) Cs), [(1+2×) Cs, (1+3×) Cs), . . . [(1+(i−1) X) Cs, (1+iX) Cs); number of grade I is related to the grade span length XCs and the size of the capacity distributions, generally (1+iX)≦1.5, iX≦0.5, i≦0.5/X. 
         [0108]    For example, concerning a certain battery cell has a rated capacity as 10000 mAh, set the qualified capacity as ≧10000 mAh, Cs=10000 mAh, set X=0.02, the grade span length Xcs=200 mAh, and the qualified battery cell capacities are distributed within the range of 10000˜10980 mAh, then the grade levels would be [10000, 10200), [10200, 10400), [10400, 10600), [10600, 10800), [10800, 11000). 
         [0109]    1.3 Dividing Grade Based on the Internal Resistance 
         [0110]    According to the design of the respective battery cell, set a qualified internal resistance Rs, R≦Rs being the qualified; using YRs as the grade span length, Y=0.05˜0.5, grade levels being (0, YRs], (YRs, 2YRs], (2YRs, 3YRs], . . . ((j−1) YRs, jYRs]; jY=1, the number of grade j=1/Y; which is related to the sizes of grade span length YRs and the distribution of the internal resistance. Certain grade level set based on the theory may not exist in the reality. 
         [0111]    For example, the qualified internal resistance of a battery cell Rs=10 mΩ. R≦Rs as the qualified, set Y=0.2, grade span length YRs=2 mΩ, and the battery cell internal resistances are distributed in the range of 5˜10 mΩ. Then the divided grade levels would be (4, 6], (6, 8], (8, 10]. And the grade levels of (0, 2] and (2, 4] do not exist. 
         [0112]    1.4 Dividing Grade Based on the Ratio of Constant Current 
         [0113]    According to the design of the respective battery cell, set a qualified constant current ratio Ccs, Cc≧Ccs being the qualified; using ZCcs as the grade span length, Z=0.01˜0.1, grade levels being [Ccs, (1+Z) Ccs), [(1+Z) Ccs, (1+2Z) Ccs), [(1+2Z)Ccs, (1+3Z)Ccs), . . . [(1+(k−1)Z)Ccs, (1+kZ)Ccs), (1+kZ)Ccs 1, k≦(1/Ccs−1)/Z, the number of grade k is related to the sizes of the grade span length ZCcs and the distribution of the constant current ratio. Certain grade level set based on the theory may not exist in the reality. 
         [0114]    For example, a certain battery cell has been set the constant current ratio Ccs=90%, Cc≧Ccs being the qualified, set Z=0.02, the grade span length Z Ccs=1.8%, the distribution of the battery cell the constant current ratios are 90˜97.1%, the divided grade levels are [90%, 91.8%), [91.8%, 93.6%), [93.6%, 95.4%), [95.4%, 97.2%). And the grade level of [97.2%, 99%) does not exist. 
         [0115]    Selecting the battery cells with consumable current and the voltage difference being qualified and in the same grade, capacity being qualified and in the same grade, internal resistance being qualified and in the same grade, ratio of constant current being qualified and in the same grade to perform the matching. 
         [0116]    2. The configuration of the equalization protection board: the equalization current of the equalization protection board is 100˜1000 fold of the range of consumable current that is used for battery matching design. 
         [0000]        Ib= 100  ΔIc˜ 1000  ΔIc    
         [0117]    3. The configuration of the charger: the charger charging cut-off current should be 1˜10 fold of the equalization current of the equalization protection board. 
         [0000]        I cut= Ib˜ 10  Ib    
       Embodiment 1 
       [0118]    Model 11585135Fe lithium iron phosphate lithium ion battery produced by the company. Its nominal voltage is 3.2 V, rated capacity is 10 Ah. Based on the client&#39;s request, it has been made as battery group with 12 series connected cells, and need the matched protection board and charger. The client requires the laying service life to be more than 8 months. The end user needs to charge it from once per day to once per every 5 days; which both can charge the battery with equalization so as to function optimally. 
         [0119]    Basic work: in regard to the system of Model 11585135Fe lithium iron phosphate lithium ion battery, its 0.2C 5  discharge platform is quite flat, at the end of the discharging stage, SOC is between 0.3 and 0, the SOC variable quantity is 0.3. And its voltage drop is pretty quick, from 3.2 V drops to 2.00 V. We have selected the voltage section 2.00˜3.00 V to conduct the testing, with selecting the fixed voltage point as 3.15 V. The battery cells have been charged with constant current and constant voltage to a certain fixed voltage point Vc=3.15 V of the selected voltage section, following laying with open circuit for 4 h, the voltage becomes stable, with the change rate of less than 1 mV per 1 h. Then measure and record the battery cell initial voltage as V0, conduct laying for a period of 7 days, measure and record the voltage V7, select the battery cells with ΔV=V0−V7=5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 mV:
       1) 0.2C 5  charge and discharge for 1 week, the discharge capacity is C 5 ;   2) 0.2C 5  CC/CV 3.6 V, 1/20C charge to full;   3) laying for 28 days;   4) 0.2C 5  CC 2V (discharge capacity C 5 ′)   5) calculating C 5 ′/C 5 , which are the charge retention capabilities of the ΔV battery cells in each grade; Ic=(C 5 −C 5 ′)/(24*28), which are the full charge state consumable current of the ΔV battery cells in each grade;
           Using Ic to perform curve fitting to the ΔV, so as to obtain the Ic−ΔV equation;   
               
 
         [0000]        Ic= 8*10 −6    ΔV   4 −0.0006  ΔV 3+0.0188  ΔV   2 −0.1546  ΔV+ 0.4634
           Correlation coefficient R 2 =0.9992   In regard to a battery group of n battery cells series connected, the range of consumable current is the difference between the max consumable current and the min consumable current:           
 
         [0000]      Δ Ic=Ic max− Ic min
           In this way, it can be clearly known about the size of the consumption rate and consumable current of the battery cells with different voltage drops, after being charged to the fixed voltage point of 3.15 V and then laying for 7 days. The laying service life can be calculated. It can be configured with equalization protection board and charger.
