Abstract:
An apparatus for detecting leakage current of a battery module includes a current measurer configured to measure currents at both ends of a battery module, and a leakage detector configured to determine whether current is leaking out of the battery module based on the measured currents.
Abstract:
A battery management apparatus includes a processor configured to collect sensing data of a battery using a sensor, and infrared (IR) communicators located to face a neighboring battery management apparatus of the battery management apparatus. The processor is configured to transmit the collected sensing data to the neighboring battery management apparatus using one of the IR communicators.

Abstract:
A faulty cell detection device and a faulty cell detection method are provided for detecting a faulty cell of a battery pack using a current sensor. The device may include a current sensor including a first current sensor configured to measure a current of a battery pack including the battery module, and a second current sensor configured to measure a current of a battery cell among battery cells in the battery module. The device may also include a faulty cell detector configured to detect occurrence of the faulty cell based on the measured current of the battery pack and the measured current of the battery cell.
Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for estimating a state of a battery in a battery management system is provided. A battery management apparatus includes a rest period detector configured to detect a rest period of a battery, an environment information collector configured to collect environment information during the rest period, and a state of health (SOH) determiner configured to determine an SOH of the battery based on the collected environment information.
Abstract:
A slave controller including an impedance element, and a processor configured to generate an identifier of the slave controller based on an electrical value of electric energy entering the impedance element.
