Intelligent battery and method

An intelligent battery, comprising:

• a pack of cells;
• and
• a battery management system (“BMS”) including a metal-oxide-semiconductor (“MOS”) switch circuit and a connection board;
• wherein:
• the connection board is configured to couple with each of the pack of cells to enable the BMS to obtain at least one property of the pack of cells and the BMS is configured to update at least one controlling parameter of the BMS based on the property of the cells;
• and
• the MOS switch circuit is configured to, through the connection board, switch on/off each of the pack of cells and in response to the updated at least one controlling parameter, the MOS switch circuit is further configured to switch on/off at least one selected cell of the cells to form a first portion of the cells in a parallel connection and/or a second portion of the cells in a serial connection to obtain at least one of a desired capacity, a desired charge rate, a desired discharge rate, a desired voltage system, or a desired lifecycle of the pack of cells.

A method for manufacturing an intelligent battery, comprising:

• configuring a battery management system (“BMS”) to obtain at least one property of a pack of cells through a connection board coupled with each of the pack of cells, and update at least one controlling parameter of the BMS based on the property of the cells,
• wherein:
• the BMS includes a metal-oxide-semiconductor (“MOS”) switch circuit and the connection board, and
• the MOS switch circuit is configured to, through the connection board, switch on/off each of the pack of cells;
• and
• in response to the updated at least one controlling parameter, controlling the MOS switch circuit to switch on/off at least one selected cell of the cells to form a first portion of the cells in a parallel connection and/or a second portion of the cells in a serial connection to obtain at least one of a desired capacity, a desired charge rate, a desired discharge rate, a desired voltage system, or a desired lifecycle of the pack of cells.
