SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CHARGING BATTERY
First Claim
1. A smart control system for charging a battery, the smart control system comprising:
- a charging system electrically coupled to the battery to provide an output to the battery;
a control module communicably coupled to the charging system and the battery, the control module configured to;
monitor at least one of a state of health (SOH) of the battery, and a state of charge (SOC) of the battery;
monitor a temperature of the battery; and
control the output provided by the charging system to the battery based on the monitored temperature and at least one of the SOH and the SOC of the battery.

Abstract
A smart control system for charging a battery is provided. The smart control system includes a charging system electrically coupled to the battery to provide an output to the battery. The smart control system also includes a control module communicably coupled to the charging system and the battery. The control module is configured to monitor at least one of a state of health (SOH) of the battery and a state of charge (SOC) of the battery. The control module is also configured to monitor a temperature of the battery. The control module is further configured to control the output provided by the charging system to the battery based on the monitored temperature and at least one of the SOH and the SOC of the battery.
