Battery information processing apparatus, battery manufacturing support apparatus, battery assembly, battery information processing method, and method of manufacturing battery assembly

A battery management system comprising a battery support manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing a battery assembly based on replacement information generated by a battery information processing apparatus which processes information for manufacturing the battery assembly including a plurality of cells, further comprising:

• the battery information processing apparatus comprising a management server programmed to:
• obtain, from a battery information database, a first temperature history and a second temperature history, the first temperature history representing a temperature history of a cell arranged in vicinity of an outer periphery of the battery assembly, the second temperature history representing a temperature history of a cell arranged in a central portion of the battery assembly;
• and
• generate, by using the first temperature history and the second temperature history, replacement information for replacing at least some of the plurality of cells with replacement cells to manufacture the battery assembly,
• wherein generating the replacement information comprises:
• generating first replacement information representing the replacement information when a first temperature indicating an index of the first temperature history is higher than a second temperature indicating an index of the second temperature history, and
• generating second replacement information representing the replacement information when the second temperature is higher than the first temperature,
• the first replacement information indicating that a first replacement cell is to be selected and arranged in the vicinity of the outer periphery of the battery assembly, the first replacement cell being determined as being less likely to deteriorate than a cell arranged in the central portion of the battery assembly based on a prescribed indicator indicating less likeliness of deterioration of a cell,
• the second replacement information indicating that a second replacement cell is to be selected and arranged in the central portion of the battery assembly, the second replacement cell being determined as being less likely to deteriorate than a cell arranged in the vicinity of the outer periphery of the battery assembly based on the indicator, and
• the management server being further programmed to transmit a command, to manufacture the battery assembly in accordance with the generated replacement information, to the battery manufacturing support apparatus;
• and
• the battery manufacturing support apparatus programmed to manufacture the battery assembly by replacing at least some of a plurality of cells constituting the battery assembly with replacement cells based on the generated replacement information.
