In accordance with an embodiment, a method includes: receiving charging scheduling information including a scheduled vehicle departure time and a destination set by a user through an interface unit; determining whether a remaining time to the scheduled vehicle departure time from a current time has reached a set time; determining a required battery conditioning time required until a current battery temperature reaches a preset target temperature; determining a total estimated required time to arrival at the destination from the current time by reflecting real-time traffic information; and performing control of a thermal management system of the vehicle by adjusting the current battery temperature to the target temperature when the determined total estimated required time is less than the determined required battery conditioning time.

Method for battery conditioning of vehicle

A method of the pre-conditioning system for a battery of a vehicle includes: receiving an input of a destination of the vehicle; generating and outputting a destination route to the destination; searching for information on one or more battery charging stations located within a predetermined range on or around the destination route; determining whether each of the searched battery charging stations satisfies a preset environmental condition; adding a charging station path to a charging station selected among charging stations provided with the environmental condition to the destination route; determining whether the battery of the vehicle satisfies a preset state condition; and warming the battery at a preset time point when the preset state condition is satisfied.

Pre-conditioning system for battery of vehicle and operating method thereof

In one aspect, a system and method for battery conditioning of a vehicle are disclosed. The system comprises receivers configured to collect driving route information of the vehicle, battery state information of the vehicle and battery conditioning mode setup state information, and a controller configured to determine whether or not the vehicle enters battery conditioning control based on the driving route information of the vehicle, the battery state information of the vehicle and the battery conditioning mode setup state information received from the receivers and to control a battery temperature adjuster so as to adjust a temperature of the battery in advance before charging the battery during the battery conditioning control.

System and method for battery conditioning of vehicle

A system for controlling a high-voltage relay of an eco-friendly vehicle includes a high-voltage battery, a plurality of driving devices driven with power supplied from the high-voltage battery, a relay unit including the high-voltage relay and a relay coil, the high-voltage relay being driven based on an amount of current flowing through the relay coil to interconnect the high-voltage battery and the driving devices, a load determiner for determining whether a conduction current load of the high-voltage relay is high or low, and a controller for changing the amount of current flowing through the relay coil based on a result of the determination of the load determiner.

System and method for controlling high-voltage relay of vehicle

A vehicle battery diagnosis apparatus includes: a measurement unit configured to measure a battery cell voltage; and a controller configured to diagnose a cell voltage deviation based on the battery cell voltage. The controller calculates a self-discharge rate for each cell based on the battery cell voltage and a parking time and calculates the cell voltage deviation based on the battery cell voltage, and when the calculated cell voltage deviation is greater than a preset cell balancing reference voltage deviation, the controller compares cell balancing capacitance calculated based on a vehicle usage time with a maximum self-discharge rate among the calculated self-discharge rates for respective cells and determines whether cell balancing is enabled or diagnoses the cell voltage deviation.

Vehicle battery diagnosis apparatus, battery diagnosis method thereof, and vehicle including vehicle battery diagnosis apparatus

A hybrid starter and generator (HSG) cooling control apparatus for a hybrid vehicle, and an HSG cooling control method thereof, the apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive driving information of an engine and a hybrid starter and generator (HSG), a cooling unit configured to cool the HSG, and a controller configured to control the cooling unit, wherein the controller determines whether the HSG is in an idle charging mode based on driving information of the engine and the HSG, determines whether the temperature of the HSG is greater than a first cooling-required temperature when the HSG is in the idle charging mode, and controls the cooling unit to be turned on when the temperature of the HSG is greater than the first cooling-required temperature.

HSG cooling control apparatus for hybrid vehicle, HSG cooling control method thereof, and hybrid vehicle including HSG cooling control apparatus

A vehicle and method are provided in which deterioration of a battery is controlled. The method includes detecting deterioration severity of the battery and determining whether the deterioration severity is equal to or greater than a reference value. A cause of battery deterioration is determined when the deterioration severity is equal to or greater than the reference value. The method further includes determining whether the cause of the battery deterioration is vehicle driving and reducing an SOC management range of the battery when the cause of deterioration of the battery is charging/discharging due to vehicle driving. The deterioration cause of the battery is determined as a state of the vehicle left unattended and the central SOC of the battery is adjusted when the cause of deterioration of the battery is not charging/discharging due to vehicle driving.

Vehicle and method for managing battery thereof

Disclosed is a toothbrush. The toothbrush comprises a toothbrush body having a handle and a first vibration generating section and possessing a first groove which has substantially a U-shaped contour; an intermediate engaging member detachably engaged into the first groove of the toothbrush body, having substantially a U-shaped configuration, and possessing a second groove which has substantially a U-shaped contour; a bristle holder having anchored thereto a plurality of bristles, the bristle holder including a teeth cleaning section and a tongue cleaning section; the teeth cleaning section being detachably fitted into the second groove of the intermediate engaging member, having substantially a U-shaped configuration, and possessing a third groove which has substantially a U-shaped contour to receive therein upper or lower teeth of a person; and the tongue cleaning section integrally coupled to a curved portion of the teeth cleaning section for removing a coating existing on a surface of the tongue of the person.
