Abstract: A battery pack (10) includes a plurality of battery cells (100) which are connected in series to each other, a voltage and current measurement unit (voltage and current measurement unit (200)), a temperature measurement unit (temperature measurement unit (300)), and a calculation unit (calculation unit (420)) provided in an arithmetic operation communication unit (400). The calculation unit (420) calculates a “first electric energy balance” of the battery cells (100) on the basis of voltages and currents, determines internal resistances of the battery cells (100) on the basis of the temperatures, and calculates a “second electric energy balance” of the internal resistances on the basis of currents and the internal resistances. Thereby, the calculation unit (420) calculates an “accumulated electric energy balance” (electric energy E(t)) accumulated in the battery cells (100) on the basis of the first electric energy balance of the battery cells (100) and the second electric energy balance of the internal resistances.

Abstract: The current invention discloses a multi-mode electro-mechanical variable speed transmission. The transmission includes an input shaft, an output system, planetary gear set having at least three braches each represents a co-axial rotating member, two electric machines along with the associated controllers for the electric machines, and a clutch. The first branch couples to the first electric machine with a constant speed ratio; the second branch couples to the output system with a constant speed ratio; and the third branch couples to the input shaft with a constant speed ratio; the second electric machine selectively couples to two different the branches of the planetary gear set with two different constant speed ratios, respectively. The multi-mode electro-mechanical variable speed transmission is capable of providing multiple operation modes including two electric drive modes and two power split operation modes. Different operation modes cover different speed ratio regimes and are suitable for different power requirements. At the mode switching point, the corresponding clutch or clutches is automatically synchronized. This avoids shock loads during operation mode switching. The transmission is capable of providing operations with at least a fixed output to input speed ratio.

Abstract: A method avoids lithium plating of a negative electrode in a battery cell. A voltage level of a positive electrode is determined in an initial battery charging process having a charging power level. A charging rate is modified in response to the determined voltage by increasing or decreasing the charging rate when the voltage is respectively less or greater than a voltage threshold. A charging profile is recorded for the power level. A subsequent charging process at the same power level is controlled using the recorded profile, which is possibly age-indexed to an age of an actual battery used in the subsequent charging process. A system includes the battery cell and a battery cell cycler device programmed to execute the method. An electric machine may be connected to the battery cell and a load, with a controller controlling the subsequent charging process using the profiles.
