Battery management system and charger
First Claim
1. A battery management system comprising:
- a plurality of receivers, each comprising a corresponding battery, wherein the corresponding battery is loaded into each of the plurality of receivers and each corresponding battery comprises an identification ID attached thereto, wherein each of the plurality of receivers is configured for reading the identification ID attached to the corresponding battery;
a plurality of chargers configured for charging the battery to which the plurality of receivers are respectively mounted; and
a management server connected to each of the chargers and configured for receiving information sent from each of the chargers;
wherein;
the receiver is configured for;
detecting a number of times of transfers of the image data by the charger;
recording received image data;
associating a receiver identification ID with the detected number of times of transfers; and
allowing the detected number of times of transfer of the image data to be recorded corresponding to the receiver identification ID;
the plurality of chargers are configured for;
acquiring the receiver identification ID, the number of times of transfers, and the image data recorded in the receiver; and
sending the image data together with the number of the transfers of the image data associated with the receiver identification ID; and
the management server is configured for;
receiving information sent from each of the chargers regarding the number of times of transfers of the image data associated with the receiver identification ID;
cumulatively summing the received number of times of transfer of the image data for each receiver identification ID;
associating the receiver identification ID with the cumulatively summed number of chargings and allowing the number of chargings to be recorded; and
determining that the corresponding battery has reached its useful life limit when the cumulatively summed number of transfers has reached a predetermined number.

Abstract
A battery management system includes a battery attached with an identification ID; and a plurality of chargers for reading the identification ID attached to the battery, the chargers associating the read identification ID with information indicative of an end of charging the battery and sending the information, the chargers charging the battery. The battery management system also includes a management server connected to each of the chargers for receiving the information indicative of the end of charging the battery associated with the identification ID and sent from each of the chargers. The management server cumulatively sums, as the number of chargings, the number of receptions of the information indicative of the end of charging the battery for each identification ID, and the management server associates the identification ID with the cumulatively summed number of chargings and allows the number of chargings to be recorded.
