BATTERY CELL CHARACTERISTIC IDENTIFICATION
First Claim
1. A method of battery monitoring comprising:
- performing a first measurement on a battery cell installed in a location to determine a first charging capacity;
determining a set of values for a permitted charging capacity trace region based on the first charging capacity and a number of charge/discharge cycles subsequent to performing the first measurement;
performing a second measurement on a battery cell installed in the location to determine a second charging capacity;
comparing the second charging capacity to the permitted charging capacity trace region; and
determining that the battery cell installed in the location at a time of the second measurement is the same battery cell installed in the location at the time of the first measurement when the second charging capacity is a value within the set of values for a permitted charging capacity trace region and that the battery cell installed in the location at a time of the second measurement is not the same battery cell installed in the location at the time of the first measurement when the second charging capacity is not a value within the set of values for a permitted charging capacity trace region.

Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for battery monitoring are disclosed. An example method performs a first measurement on a battery cell installed in a location to determine a first charging capacity and determines a set of values for a permitted charging capacity trace region based on the first charging capacity and a number of charge/discharge cycles subsequent to performing the first measurement. The example method performs a second measurement on a battery cell installed in the location to determine a second charging capacity and compares the second charging capacity to the permitted charging capacity trace region and determines that the battery cell installed in the location at a time of the second measurement is not the same battery cell installed in the location at the time of the first measurement when the second charging capacity is not a value within the set of permitted values of the charging capacity trace region.

20. A device for battery monitoring comprising:
-
means for performing a first measurement on a battery cell installed in a location to determine a first charging capacity; means for determining a set of values for a permitted charging capacity trace region based on the first charging capacity and a number of charge/discharge cycles subsequent to performing the first measurement; means for performing a second measurement on a battery cell installed in the location to determine a second charging capacity; means for comparing the second charging capacity to the permitted charging capacity trace region; and means for determining that the battery cell installed in the location at a time of the second measurement is the same battery cell installed in the location at the time of the first measurement when the second charging capacity is a value within the set of values for a permitted charging capacity trace region and that the battery cell installed in the location at a time of the second measurement is not the same battery cell installed in the location at the time of the first measurement when the second charging capacity is not a value within the set of values for a permitted charging capacity trace region.
