Abstract
A safety-critical smart battery management system with the capability of charging single battery cells and discharging battery pack, which comprises smart battery pack, a smart battery charging module and a smart battery discharging module. In the smart battery pack, many cells in a battery group are charged separately at a time. The smart battery discharging module is used to discharge the smart battery pack, so as to achieve the efficacy of a promoted charging efficiency, an increased overall energy source efficiency, and a prolonged battery lifetime. The mechanism has plugging and automatic electric disconnection. Whenever a safety issue or a not-in-use state presents, the smart battery discharging module may be automatically separated with a load. The cells may be avoided from a self-discharging, which successively causes fire catching and thus an explosion and adversely affects a lifetime of the cells, thereby promoting a safety and reliability of the battery system.
