Abstract

Techniques are described for implementing automated control systems for target battery systems based at least in part on battery state information gathered from active excitation of the batteries, such as to maximize battery life while performing other battery power use activities. The excitation of a target battery system may occur while it is in use, by repeatedly introducing small defined variations as input to the battery system while the battery system is otherwise used to supply or receive electricity. Corresponding small variations in output of the battery system from the excitation activities are then measured by hardware sensors, aggregated and analyzed to generate a current model of the internal state of the one or more batteries, and then used to assist in controlling further operations of the battery system, including in some cases to update a previously existing model of the battery system.
