Abstract
Remaining battery capacity is computed by computing battery discharge capacity from an integrated value of a product of discharge current and voltage to find remaining battery capacity via energy (integrated power). Battery discharge capacity is computed by adding the integrated value of power consumed by internal resistance to a discharge capacity value calculated from the integrated product of discharge current and voltage, and the remaining battery capacity is computed from this battery discharge capacity.
