Abstract
A battery capacity estimation method, and a battery module and an electronic product using the same are disclosed. In the battery capacity estimation method, after a control system of the battery module has judged that a battery has been charged to a fully charged state for a predetermined period and entered a rest state, a detection unit of the control system measures an open circuit voltage and a temperature of the battery, according to which a full charge capacity of the battery is calculated.
Claims12
A battery capacity estimation method being applied to a battery module comprising a battery and a control system and detecting the battery of the battery module, wherein:
- the control system comprises a detection unit, a storage unit and a processing unit;
- the storage unit stores OCV information and multiple design capacities, and the OCV information comprises an OCV table or a function corresponding to different temperatures;
- and
- the battery capacity estimation method comprises:
- measuring, by the detection unit, an OCV and a temperature of the battery when the processing unit knows that the battery has been charged to a fully charged state for a predetermined period and entered a rest state;
- obtaining, by the processing unit, a SOC of the battery according to both of the OCV and the temperature of the battery corresponding to the OCV table or the function;
- obtaining a design capacity corresponding to the temperature and the multiple design capacities and the temperature;
- and
- calculating, by the processing unit, a Q T of the battery according to the design capacity corresponding to the temperature and the SOC, wherein the QT represents an inherent capacity at the temperature.
