An available capacity-based billing system includes a vehicle including a battery, and a battery controller configured to determine a maximum value and a minimum value of a state of charge (SOC) of the battery based on settings of an available capacity of the battery, a user terminal configured to receive a capacity setting change request including a setting change amount of the available capacity and then to transmit the capacity setting change request, and a server configured to receive the capacity setting change request transmitted by the user terminal and to determine a battery usage fee corresponding to the setting change amount of the available capacity included in the received capacity setting change request.

Available capacity-based billing system and method for vehicle batteries

A shared battery system includes a battery having unique identification information, a communication unit communication-connected with a user terminal to receive user information from the user terminal, and an authentication unit configured to perform user authentication based on the user information. A controller is configured to control the authentication unit to perform the user authentication when a communication connection with the user terminal is made, to control the battery to supply electrical energy to a shared mobility device based on a use approval of the shared mobility device when the battery is mounted to the mobility device, to acquire usage information of the shared mobility device therefrom when the electrical energy is supplied to the shared mobility device, and to control the communication unit to transmit the acquired usage information of the shared mobility device and status information of the battery.

Shared battery system and method of controlling battery on a shared mobility device

A vehicle includes: a battery pack including a plurality of battery cells connected in parallel; and a controller configured to distribute a current load having a magnitude proportional to a state of health (SOH) of each of the plurality of battery cells to each of the plurality of battery cells, and to control the charging and discharging of each of the plurality of battery cells according to the magnitude of the distributed current load.

Vehicle for distributing current load in consideration of state of health and control method thereof

A vehicle terminal may include: a communicator configured to perform communication with a personal mobility device; a processor configured to estimate a state of charge of a battery of the personal mobility device when a vehicle arrives at a set location based on whether the battery is being charged and to determine a travelable area of the personal mobility device based on the state of charge of the battery; and a display device operatively coupled to the processor, the display device configured to display the travelable area.
