A wireless electrical charging system and a method of operating same wherein operating parameters from a remote portion of the system are wirelessly transmitted to a system controller controlling the output voltage of an alternating power supply. The system controller executes an adaptive model control algorithm that allows the system controller to update the output voltage at a greater rate than the transmission rate of the operating parameters from the remote portion of the system.

A method of determining the available energy of a battery provides for measuring first and second open circuit voltage of the battery with a change of energy level occurring therebetween. The two open circuit voltages are correlated to a state of charge level and the measured amount of change of energy is divided by the change of the state of charge.

Method of determining the energy capacity of a battery

A battery pack for a battery-powered vehicle is provided in accordance with the present invention. The battery pack for the battery-powered vehicle comprises battery modules coupled in series. The battery modules are configured to provide power to the battery-powered vehicle and each of the battery modules has a state-of-charge. The battery pack also comprises battery control modules (BCMs) that are coupled to the battery modules. Each of the battery modules is coupled to one of the BCMs and each of BCMs is configured to monitor a battery module parameter. Furthermore, the battery pack comprises a battery control interface module (BCIM) coupled to each of the BCMs. The BCIM is configured to receive the battery module parameter from each of the BCMs and independently adjust the state-of-charge of each of the battery modules based on the battery module parameter.
