Abstract:
A method and apparatus for fast charging a battery with optimal charging. In an arrangement, a system includes a battery charger for applying a voltage to a rechargeable battery; and a controller coupled to the battery charger and monitoring at least one of a battery voltage, a battery temperature, and the current flowing into the battery; wherein the system is configured to apply a charging current from the battery charger by calculating an open cell anode voltage and an anode resistance of the battery, and determining the charging current. In additional arrangements, lithium ion plating is prevented by the charging current. Additional methods and arrangements are disclosed.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for charging a lithium ion battery including an anode electrode, comprising:\n a battery charger responsive to charging control signals to apply a current to the anode electode of the rechargeable lithium-ion battery; and a controller coupled to the battery charger and configured to generate the charging control signals based on at least one of a battery voltage, a battery temperature, and current flowing into the battery; the battery charger wherein the system is configured to apply a charging current from the battery charger to the battery during a battery charging cycle, the charging current based on a charging voltage in which a potential of the anode electrode is less than a lithium metal potential of the lithium-ion battery, including calculating an open cell anode potential and calculating an anode resistance of the battery.
