20090219660 | DIGITAL INTERFACE USED IN MULTI-SERIES-PARALLEL BATTERY MODULES - A digital interface used in multi-series-parallel battery modules is provided and applies the Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter interface. An Up-Link circuit and a Down-Link circuit are construed by voltage isolation elements for directly connecting a Low Voltage Protection signal of a battery cell, and an Over Voltage Protection signal of the battery cell in series, in associated with receiving and transmission signals of universal asynchronous receiving/transmission, and initiating a forced WakeUp signal of a Micro Control Unit, MCU, of a battery module protection circuit board of each digital interface of the battery modules. The battery monitoring system formed allows battery modules of standard specification to be directly connected to digital signal for monitoring batteries in series, for a plurality of battery modules to be easily connected in multi-series-parallel, and for the battery module to be easily replaced during maintenance to dramatically reduce costs associated with maintenance and custom battery designs. | 09-03-2009 |
