Abstract
A device for enabling the reuse of a complete battery pack for electric vehicles (EV) is disclosed. The device allows reuse of a battery pack at a significantly lower cost than alternative methods that require the battery pack to be opened, batteries to be taken out and installed in a new pack with a new battery monitoring system (BMS), and undergoing certification as a new system. The disclosed device includes a controller having a software program operating therein and which is electrically coupled to a battery pack and provides electrical input and output signals to the BMS of the EV battery, which relate to optimal operating parameters of the battery pack including depth of discharge (DoD), depth of charge (DoC), charge rate, and temperature. The controller enables reuse of the complete battery pack without reopening and mimics electrical signaling compared to a car or other electric vehicles.
