Abstract:
Apparatus for a modular battery management system for a battery having a plurality of cells. The system includes interchangeable chargers each associated with a slave module. The chargers are connected to each cell and a master module controlling the system. All the modules receive power through a transfer switch that selectively switches between external sources and the battery. With the transfer switch connecting the battery to the charger modules, each charger operates independently to maintain its associated cell. Each charger is electrically isolated from the other chargers. The external sources provide capacity information used by the master module. The slave modules are autonomous and shut down the battery and disconnect the module when a critical parameter of the cell is reached. When the battery is in service and a cell parameter approaches the critical level, the master controller instructs the corresponding slave module to charge the cell using battery power.

Claim (Index 14):
The apparatus of  claim 13  wherein each one of said first module and said second module further includes a cell monitoring circuit and a module disconnect switch, wherein said first module disconnect switch in said first module operates to isolate said first set of cells from said first module when said cell monitoring circuit determines said first set of cells has a first operating parameter outside an acceptable range, and said second module disconnect switch in said second module operates to isolate said second set of cells from said second module when said cell monitoring circuit determines said second set of cells has a second operating parameter outside an acceptable range.
