Control of parallel battery utilization

An apparatus for controlling electrical current allocated to a plurality of battery sets, the apparatus comprising:

• a current division controller that, when operating:
• receives a respective state of health for each respective battery set in a plurality of battery sets, the respective state of health reflecting a respective present amount of total energy able to be stored by each respective battery set relative to a specification of the respective battery set;
• determines, based on the respective state of health for each respective battery set, a respective allocation of electrical current for each battery set in the plurality of battery sets;
• and
• configures, based on a determination of the respective allocation, a respective electrical current flow through each respective battery set to its respective allocation of electrical current.

A computer program product for controlling electrical current allocated to a plurality of battery sets, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising instructions for:
• receiving a respective state of health for each respective battery set in a plurality of battery sets, the respective state of health reflecting a respective present amount of total energy able to be stored by each respective battery set relative to a specification of the respective battery set;
• determining, based on the respective state of health for each respective battery set, a respective allocation of electrical current for each battery set in the plurality of battery sets;
• and
• configuring, based on determining the respective allocation, a current flow through each respective battery set to its respective allocation of electrical current.
