Abstract:
A battery device includes battery module, each including an assembled battery and a battery monitoring circuit. The assembled battery comprises battery cells. The battery monitoring circuit measures voltages of the battery cells, current and temperature levels of the assembled battery. A control circuit is connected to the battery monitoring circuits through a communication line and supplies power to the battery monitoring circuits. The control circuit communicates with the battery monitoring circuits through the communication line. Each battery monitoring circuit is configured to monitor signals transmitted on the communication line for a predetermined time period after its startup, and then to select a communication ID to one that does not conflict with any other ID used to communicate through the communication line during the predetermined time period. The selected ID is then transmitted on the communication line.

Claim (Index 16):
A battery device, comprising:\n a first battery module including a first battery monitoring circuit and a first assembled battery, the first battery monitoring circuit configured to measure current, voltage, and temperature in the first battery module; a second battery module including a second battery monitoring circuit and a second assembled battery, the second battery monitoring circuit configured to measure current, voltage, and temperature in the second battery module, the first and second assembled battery being electrically connected to each other in series between a positive load terminal and negative load terminal; and a control circuit connected to the first and second battery modules by a communication line and configured to receive information from the first and second battery monitoring circuits via the communication line, wherein the first battery monitoring circuit is configured to monitor signals transmitted on the communication line for a predetermined time period after a startup of the first battery monitoring circuit and to note all communication IDs used for communications on the communication line during the predetermined period of time and then select a communication ID for transmissions of information to the control circuit that does not conflict with any communication ID, and then send the selected ID to the control circuit via the communication line.
