SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD FOR RESERVED CHARGE OF BATTERY FOR VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A control method for reserved charge of a battery for a vehicle, comprising:
- in response to receiving a vehicle operation start time and a reserved charge command via an input device, receiving, at a controller, information regarding an output state of a charger when the vehicle is connected to the charger;
calculating, by the controller, an estimated charging time consumed for charging the battery using the information regarding the output state of the charger;
calculating, by the controller, a charge start time for completing the charge of the battery before a vehicle operation starts based on the vehicle operation start time and the estimated charging time;
operating, by the controller, the vehicle to be in a standby state before the charge until the charge start time reaches; and
adjusting, by the controller, the charge to charge the battery with power input from the charger when the charge start time is reached in the standby state.

Abstract
A system and control method for reserved charge of a vehicle battery is provided. The method includes receiving, at a controller, a vehicle operation start time input and a reserved charge command via an input device and receiving information regarding an output state of a charger when the vehicle is connected to the charger. In addition, the controller calculates an estimated charging time consumed for charging the battery using the information on the output state of the charger and calculates a charge start time for completing the battery charge before a vehicle operation starts based on the vehicle operation start time and the estimated charging time. The vehicle is operated to be in a standby state before the charge until the charge start time is reached and the charge is adjusted to charge the battery with power input from the charger when the charge start time is reached.
