20080224709 | Battery management system and driving method thereof - In a battery management system and a driving method thereof, the system includes a sensor and a micro control unit (MCU). The sensor senses a voltage and a current of a battery, and generates an estimation current of the battery using a result of cumulatively calculating the battery current by a unit of a predetermined period. The MCU receives the battery voltage and the estimation current, sets a voltage of the battery in a key-on state as a first voltage, sets a voltage of the battery after a first period as a second voltage, and calculates an internal resistance of the battery using a difference between the first and second voltages and an average value of the estimation current. | 09-18-2008 |
20100291421 | RECHARGEABLE BATTERY - A rechargeable battery with overcharging protection. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a rechargeable battery includes a case, a first electrode coupled to the case, a second electrode coupled to the case and the second electrode having a portion extending outside of the case, a short bar electrically coupled to said portion of the second electrode, and an extensible member extending from the case and at least a portion of the short bar being on the extensible member with a gap therebetween. The extensible member is configured to couple the short bar electrically to the first electrode in response to an overcharging condition of the rechargeable battery, thereby short-circuiting the first and second electrodes via the short bar. | 11-18-2010 |
