Methods and systems of aging-aware charging profile determination for a battery system

Abstract

A system for charging a battery is provided, in which the system includes a plurality of sensors coupled with the battery, at least one battery charger coupled with the battery, and a processing unit coupled with the sensors and the battery charger. The processing unit includes a battery degradation modeling module and an aging-aware battery charging strategy module. The processing unit receives sensor information from the sensors, uses the battery degradation modeling module to detect aging phenomena or mechanisms that cause aging effect of the battery with a degradation model of the battery based on the sensor information, uses the aging-aware battery charging strategy module to calculate a charging profile for the battery based on the aging effect of the battery and the sensor information, and controls the battery charger to charge the battery based on the charging profile.
