Besides, controllable processes of charging and discharging, that is, active balanced charging and discharging, can be realized.

The present invention relates to a charger device (100) comprising: a sensor (10) which is configured to measure a differential current (DELTA_I) as a difference between a first current (I_POS) through a first battery portion (210) of a battery (200) and a second current (I_NEG) through a second battery portion (220) of the battery (200) and which is configured to provide a current difference signal (ΔI_meas) based on the measured differential current (DELTA_I); a compensator (20) which is configured to calculate a first current setpoint (I_SP_POS) used for the first battery portion (210) and a second current setpoint (I_SP_NEG) used for the second battery portion (220) based on the provided current difference signal (DELTA_I) and a battery current setpoint (I_SP); and a controller (30) which is configured to control charging and/or discharging of the first battery portion (210) based on the first current setpoint (I_SP_POS) and of the second battery portion (220) based on the second current setpoint (I_SP_NEG).

A monitoring device includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire information regarding whether a learning model is in a first mode or in a second mode, the learning model configured to detect a state of an energy storage device; and a change unit configured to change an operation of a balancer circuit from a predetermined state in a case where the learning model is in the first mode, the balancer circuit configured to balance a voltage of the energy storage device.

Various embodiments described herein use a set of capacitor sets (e.g., capacitor banks) in a power backup architecture for a memory sub-system, where each capacitor set can be individually checked for a health condition (e.g., in parallel) to determine their respective health after the memory sub-system has completed a boot process. In response to determining that at least one capacitor set has failed the health condition (or a certain number of capacitor sets have failed the health condition), the memory sub-system can perform certain operations prior to primary power loss to the memory sub-system (e.g., preemptively performs a data backup process to ensure data integrity) and can adjust the operational mode of the memory sub-system (e.g., switch it from read-write mode to read-only mode).

The invention provides a method for balancing the electrical voltages of at least two electrical accumulator units that are connected in series. According to the invention, one accumulator unit is connected to the winding of a coil in order to excite the coil, and the other accumulator unit is charged by the excited coil by the subsequent connection of the winding to the other accumulator unit. In addition, the invention provides a corresponding electrical accumulator.

Methods, systems, and devices for power electronics-based (PE-based) battery management. A system may include a set of battery strings, where each battery string may include a set of battery modules, and where each battery module may include a set of battery cells. The system may also include a set of power converters, where each power converter may be coupled with at least one battery string. A power electronics-based (PE-based) BMS may provide one or more battery management functions for at least one corresponding battery string while also monitoring or controlling a corresponding power converter.

A system for regulating voltage and current capability for a battery is described herein. The system includes at least two parallel battery strings to power a system load, where each battery string acts independently of another battery string. The system also includes a current sensor to determine an individual discharging current through each battery string in a circuit. The system also includes a switch to power on a particular battery string to support the system load by discharging current.
