Abstract

An apparatus for managing a battery and a method thereof includes a memory that stores computer-executable instructions, and at least one processor that accesses the memory and execute the instructions, wherein the at least one processor is configured to determine a first score based on battery usage data and a battery output map, determine a second score based on first user data on a mileage of a vehicle using the battery and a warranty time of the vehicle, and second user data on a state of health (SOH) of the battery and the warranty time, and derive a battery managing index (BMI) representing a management state of the battery based on the first score and the second score.

Claims18

Dependent claims

An apparatus for managing a battery, the apparatus comprising:

a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions;
and
at least one processor configured to access the memory and execute the instructions,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
determine a first score based on battery usage data and a battery output map;
determine a second score based on first user data on a mileage of a vehicle using the battery and a warranty time of the vehicle, and second user data on a state of health (SOH) of the battery and the warranty time;
determine a battery managing index (BMI) representing a management state of the battery based on the first score and the second score;
determine a third score based on a first charge record corresponding to a first period of a use time of the battery and a second charge record corresponding to a second period of the use time of the battery;
and
determine the BMI based on the first score, the second score and the third score.

A method of managing a battery, the method comprising:

determining, by at least one processor, a first score based on battery usage data and a battery output map;
determining, by the at least one processor, a second score based on first user data on a mileage of a vehicle using the battery and a warranty time of the vehicle, and second user data on a state of health (SOH) of the battery and the warranty time;
deriving, by the at least one processor, a battery managing index (BMI) representing a management state of the battery based on the first score and the second score;
determining, by the at least one processor, a third score based on a first charge record corresponding to a first period of a use time of the battery and a second charge record corresponding to a second period of the use time of the battery;
and
deriving, by the at least one processor, the BMI based on the first score, the second score and the third score.
