The invention relates to a feedback current control device and aerial equipment. The feedback current control device includes: a feedback current capture module, located on a current capture circuit and configured to capture a feedback current; a first switch module, configured to turn on or off the current capture circuit; and a control module, including: a first receiving unit, configured to receive a first voltage at one end of the driver and a second voltage at one end of a battery on a feed circuit and a temperature of the battery; and a first control unit, configured to control the first switch module to turn on the current capture circuit for capturing the feedback current when the difference between the first voltage and the second voltage is greater than a preset voltage and the temperature of the battery is less than or equal to a preset temperature.

A method for enhancing battery cycle performance. The method is applied in a battery and includes: charging, at a first stage, the battery at a first-stage current until reaching a first-stage voltage; and charging, at a second stage, the battery at a second-stage current until reaching a second-stage voltage. The second-stage voltage is greater than the first-stage voltage, and the second-stage current is less than the first-stage current. The battery includes an electrolytic solution containing an organic solvent. The organic solvent includes a chain carboxylate compound. A weight percent of the chain carboxylate compound in the organic solvent is 10% to 70%. This application further provides an electronic device. The method can enhance high-temperature cycle and storage performance of the battery.

When a difference between the first and second voltage is greater than a preset voltage and the temperature of the battery is less than or equal to a preset temperature, the first switch module is controlled to unidirectionally cut off the main circuit to capture feedback current by the first feedback current capture module on a first current capture circuit, greatly reducing the probability of lithium precipitation and risk of thermal runaway.

Disclosed herein are battery management systems (BMS) for controlling the operating state of a battery pack device, as well as methods for changing the operating state of a battery pack device. The battery pack may have multiple cells therein, each cell capable of generating multiple different voltages to allow more energy (voltage×current) to be quickly and efficiently put into the battery, thus optimizing battery charging (i.e., reducing battery charging times). These battery packs may change from operating in series, to operating in parallel, when desired, while utilizing affordable relays and more affordable electrical components. These battery packs may be comprised of any number of cells and can controlled and/or operated by the BMS, for optimal battery charging, or for optimal discharging, as desired. The BMS may be any type of control logic and/or software, operable to control and/or operate the battery packs.

The controller includes a processor and a memory. The controller is configured to charge the battery pack with a constant power charge, switch to a constant voltage charge when a voltage of the battery pack reaches a predetermined threshold, and charge the battery pack with the constant voltage charge.
