US Patent:

20120119709, May 17, 2012

Filed:

Nov 17, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/299253

Inventors:

Benjamin C. Mull - San Jose CA, US
Hrag Kasparian - Glendale CA, US

Assignee:

TENERGY CORPORATION - Fremont CA

International Classification:

H02J 7/00

US Classification:

320149

Abstract:

A battery management balancing device provides local discharge circuits for individual cells of a battery pack, where the discharge circuits include a power transistor. The use of a power transistor yields a controllable balancing current through that transistor between a cathode and anode of the individual cell. A microcontroller monitors a state of charge of each cell, such as by measuring the cell voltages, and provides control signals, for example indicating a target voltage for each cell, that drive the power transistors in designated discharge circuits.
