Title: An apparatus and method for charging a battery pack, and decoupling the charging voltage from the battery pack voltage
Inventor: SANJAY GUPTA
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 2019-05-28
Abstract: A charging circuit for a battery pack 300 has a battery pack controller 140 and several battery modules 200 connected in series. Each battery module 200 has a battery/capacitor charge controller 240, and has multiple batteries connected in parallel and multiple capacitors connected in parallel. The battery pack controller 140 calculates a balanced state of charge for each battery module 200, and each battery/charge controller 240 uses specific charge voltage and current to charge the batteries and capacitors to an optimum balanced state of charge, which takes account of the state of health of all batteries in the pack 300.
