First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for predicting life of a reconfigurable battery pack, the method comprising:
- identifying a capacity fade of one or more battery cells of a reconfigurable battery pack;
determining a load deviation based on the capacity fade;
calculating a relationship between the load deviation and a threshold; and
detecting an end of life of the reconfigurable battery pack in response to the calculating of the relationship of the load deviation relative to the threshold.

Abstract
A method for predicting life of a reconfigurable battery pack, includes receiving a usage parameter of a reconfigurable battery pack, the battery pack comprising interconnected battery cells; identifying a State of Health (SOH) of degraded battery cells and a capacity of the reconfigurable battery pack; and determine a number of fresh battery cells to replace the degraded cells for the usage parameter based on the SOH and the capacity of the reconfigurable battery pack.
