Estimating the term…
A system and method for accurate and in real time determination of factors relating to the state of health of a storage battery. The system measures the values of battery temperature, voltage and current flow into and out of the battery. This data is multiplexed into a computer and the battery's internal resistance (IR), polarization resistance (PR), state of charge (SOC) and its cold cranking amp (CCA) capability are computed and displayed. The presence of shorted and mismatched cells also can be determined and displayed. The state of health of the battery is related to these displayed measured values and calculated factors which are made known to the user of the battery.
A method for monitoring and displaying to a user of a vehicle or a system on a real time basis the state of health (SOH) of a storage battery on which said vehicle or system relies, said method comprising the steps of:
A system for monitoring and displaying to a user of a vehicle on a real time basis the state of health (SOH) of a storage battery on which said vehicle relies, said system comprising a circuit module mounted to the battery with a connection to at least one of the battery terminals and said circuit module including
