1. A battery control module for a battery system, comprising:
- a voltage measuring module that measures battery voltage;
a current measuring module that measures battery current; and
a state of charge (SOC) module that communicates with said current and voltage measuring modules and that estimates SOC based on relaxation voltage, wherein said SOC module enables said estimation of said SOC based on one of a qualified charge swing following a discharge swing and a qualified discharge swing following a charge swing.
