Abstract
An electric-vehicle battery system includes a high voltage system with a plurality of connected rechargeable battery cells; a low voltage system with an operating voltage lower than an operating voltage of the high voltage system, the low voltage system supplying a battery system manager; and a real time clock configured to provide a system time to the battery system manager. The real time clock may be at least temporarily powered by the high voltage system.
Claims14
An electric-vehicle battery system, comprising:
- a high voltage system with a plurality of connected rechargeable battery cells;
- a low voltage system powered by a low voltage power supply separately from the rechargeable battery cells of the high voltage system with an operating voltage lower than an operating voltage of the high voltage system, the low voltage system supplying a battery system manager;
- a battery disconnect unit, including:
- a high voltage section including at least one battery disconnect relay;
- and
- a low voltage section including a battery disconnect controller, and
- a real time clock, configured to provide a system time to the battery system manager, arranged on the low voltage section of the battery disconnect unit, and at least temporarily powered by the high voltage system.
