US 2017/0285113 A1 · WIRELESS BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME

Abstract

A wireless battery management system manages at least one battery unit, and the system includes at least one battery tester and a wireless terminal apparatus. The at least one battery tester is electrically connected to the at least one battery unit. The wireless terminal apparatus includes a wireless communication unit, a display unit, and a user interface. The wireless communication unit provides a wireless communication protocol to be wirelessly connected to the battery tester. The user interface is displayed on the display unit and operates an application program of the wireless terminal apparatus. The application program is executed by the wireless terminal apparatus to provide a test and monitor function to control the battery tester testing and monitoring the battery unit correspondingly connected to the battery tester. Accordingly, readability of the battery test results and convenience of monitoring and sharing the battery test results are increased.
