    摘要: Disclosed is an optimized battery charging method based on thermodynamic information of a battery. Thermodynamic information on a material structure of a battery, for instance, entropy of the battery is extracted. Boundary points at which state transitions of the battery material are determined using the thermodynamic information extracted. Phases of the battery are identified based on the boundary points determined. The most appropriate charging patterns adapted to each of the phases identified are determined. A charging algorithm for charging the battery can be constructed by combining the most appropriate charging patterns determined. This charging algorithm is applied to the charging of the battery.

    摘要: A charging system includes a first battery pack having a first capacity, a second battery pack having a second capacity and a charger for charging the first battery pack and the second battery pack. When the first battery pack is charged by the charger at a predetermined charging current I, a first charging time in which the first battery pack reaches a predetermined temperature T is set as a predetermined time t. When the second battery pack is charged by the charger at the predetermined charging current I, and when a second charging time of the second battery pack reaches the predetermined time t, the second battery pack is charged at a lower charging current. The first capacity is less than the second capacity.

    摘要: A bidirectional power converter circuit is controlled via a hysteresis loop such that the bidirectional power converter circuit can compensate in near real time for variations and even changes in transmit and receive coil locations without damaging components of the system. Because the bidirectional power converter is capable of both transmitting and receiving power (at different times), one circuit and board may be used as the main component in multiple wireless power converter designs.
