Secondary battery management
First Claim
1. A method of managing a battery system, the battery system including at least one battery cell, at least one sensor configured to measure at least one characteristic of the battery cell, and a battery management system including a microprocessor and a memory, the method comprisingestimating, by the battery management system, a state of charge of the at least one battery cell at a first time by applying an electrochemical battery model,wherein applying the electrochemical battery model includes using differential algebraic equations to estimate the state of charge of the at least one battery cell at the first time based at least in part on a previously determined state of charge and a previously determined value of a slowly varying parameter indicative of physical changes to a chemical composition of battery cell materials of the at least one battery cellwherein applying the electrochemical battery model provides an estimated value of the slowly varying parameter at the first time;
- receiving by the battery management system from the at least one sensor, a measured value of at least one measured characteristic of the battery at the first time;
updating, by the battery management system, the state of charge of the at least one battery cell at the first time based on the at least one measured characteristic of the battery at the first time; and
regulating, by the battery management system, at least one of charging or discharging of the battery based on the updated state of charge of the at least one battery cell.

Abstract
A method of managing a battery system, the battery system including at least one battery cell, at least one sensor configured to measure at least one characteristic of the battery cell, and a battery management system including a microprocessor and a memory, the method comprising receiving by the battery management system, from the at least one sensor at least one measured characteristic of the battery cell at a first time and at least one measured characteristic of the battery cell at a second time. The battery management system estimating, at least one state of the battery cell by applying a physics-based battery model, the physics based battery model being based on differential algebraic equations; and regulating by the battery management system, at least one of charging or discharging of the battery cell based on the at least one estimated state.
