Abstract
A method and system for measuring the remaining capacity of a battery with open circuit voltage detection is disclosed. The method includes the steps of measuring an open circuit voltage, obtaining an initial capacity based on the open circuit voltage, initializing an accumulation counter with the initial capacity, adjusting the accumulation counter, and obtaining the remaining capacity based on the accumulation counter. The method further includes the step of calibrating the accumulation counter to eliminate accumulated error and offset resulting from the previous operation of adjusting the accumulation counter.
