Title:
BATTERY STATE MONITOR DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/093287
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a battery state monitor device, which can reduce the human and device costs of setting parameters for evaluating the state of a battery, and which can easily cope with dispersions due to vehicular individual differences of the same vehicle kind. In the battery state monitor device, the lower-limit voltage value at the time when a load is connected at an engine starting time with a battery in a substantially new state is measured as an initial reference lower-limit voltage value VLIF. This initial reference lower-limit voltage value VLIF, an initial reference open-circuit voltage VOIF or the open-circuit voltage of the battery, and the information prestored in a storage unit and concerning an internal resistance changing rate to the change in the open-circuit voltage of the battery are used to derive the reference discharge characteristics of a new battery to the engine-starting load intrinsic to the vehicle. The state of the battery is evaluated by using the reference discharge characteristics.
