Abstract
Disclosed is a cooling system for a battery of a vehicle and a method for cooling the battery. A heat absorption member is attached to a terminal of battery cell of the battery for absorbing heat. A controller of the vehicle computes heat generation based on the driver's input about the vehicle's destination, controls the battery to limit its current output after temperature.
Claims11
A method of controlling a vehicular battery cooling system comprising a heat absorption member disposed between terminals of a plurality of stacked battery cells, the method comprising:
- determining whether a destination is input to a navigation device from a user prior to vehicle driving;
- when the destination is input, deriving a battery heating value from a driving time period derived via input of the destination;
- and
- limiting a battery current usage based on a comparison result between the derived battery heating value and a pre-stored heat absorption available amount of the heat absorption member.
A method of controlling a vehicular battery cooling system comprising a heat absorption member disposed between terminals of a plurality of stacked battery cells, the method comprising:
- monitoring a battery accumulated current usage, a heating value, and an over temperature ratio during vehicle driving;
- and
- limiting a battery current usage based on a comparison result between the monitored battery heating value and a pre-stored heat absorption available amount of the heat absorption member.
A vehicular battery cooling system comprising:
- a plurality of stacked battery cells;
- a heat absorption member disposed between terminals of the battery cells;
- a navigation device configured to receive a destination from a user to derive a driving time period;
- and
- a controller configured to derive a battery heating value from the derived driving time period and to limit a battery current usage based on a comparison result between the derived battery heating value and a pre-stored heat absorption available amount of the heat absorption member when a destination is input to the navigation device prior to vehicle driving.
