Title: Innovations of Albert R Fredette in Battery Charging Technology.
Introduction
Albert R Fredette is an accomplished inventor based in Wakefield, RI (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of battery technology, particularly in charging methods. His innovative approach has the potential to enhance the efficiency and reliability of battery systems.
Latest Patents
Fredette holds a patent for a battery charging method. This method involves a charging and equalizing system that utilizes a control computer in communication with multiple module processors. The system periodically pauses charging and equalization for voltage measurement by the module processors. The control computer determines the optimal time to equalize battery cells based on their open circuit voltages. A selected group of cells in each module can be equalized, and the process continues until all module processors indicate completion. Charging then resumes until the process is complete or cells reach a maximum voltage set by the control computer. An alternative embodiment allows for partial bypassing of selected cells during charging to reduce the charge rate.
