Abstract
A battery manager includes a pattern estimator, a prediction engine, and a charging scheduler. The pattern estimator estimates a driving pattern of an electric vehicle. The prediction engine predicts a charging parameter based on at least one of the driving pattern or driver charging behavior. The charging scheduler outputs the charging parameter to control charging of a secondary battery of the electric vehicle. The pattern estimator may estimate the driving pattern based on information from at least one information source of the electric vehicle. The prediction engine predicts the charging parameter of the secondary battery in preparation of a future use of the electric vehicle.
