Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A battery management system (BMS) may include a battery, a relay configured to electrically connect and disconnect the battery for supplying a voltage (an electric power) to an electric load to and from the electric load, the electric load configured to receive the voltage (the electric power) from the battery, to compare the received voltage (the electric power) with a reference value and to output a wakeup signal according to the compared result, when the relay is electrically connected, and a controller configured to wake up by the wakeup signal, to monitor a state of the battery and to control a state of the relay. It is possible to prevent overdischarge and overcharge of the battery by monitoring the battery through the electric load in a state in which a vehicle is turned off and switching the BSM to a wakeup state only if necessary.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A battery management system comprising: a battery; a relay configured to electrically connect or disconnect the battery for supplying a voltage to an electric load to or from the electric load; the electric load configured to receive the voltage from the battery, to be operated with the voltage from the battery, to compare the received voltage with a first reference value for determining an overdischarge state of the battery or a second reference value for determining an overcharge state of the battery, and to output a wakeup signal when the voltage of the battery is less than the first reference value or greater than the second reference voltage; and a controller configured to wake up by the wakeup signal, to monitor a state of the battery and to control a state of the relay based on the monitored state of the battery. 2. The battery management system according to claim 1 , wherein the controller includes: a power supply connected to the battery and configured to receive a driving voltage; a wakeup input device configured to receive the wakeup signal from the electric load and to switch to a wakeup state; and a relay controller configured to monitor the state of the battery and control ON/OFF of the relay according to a state of charge (SoC) of the battery, when switching to the wakeup state is performed in the wakeup input device. 3. The battery management system according to claim 1 , wherein a relay controller is configured to monitor the state of the battery and controls OFF of the relay when a state of charge (SoC) of the battery is less than a first predetermined level or is greater than a second predetermined level. 4. A method of controlling the battery management system according to claim 1 , the method comprising: applying a voltage from the battery to the electric load in a state of turning a vehicle off and outputting the wakeup signal; and waking up by the wakeup signal, monitoring the state of the battery and controlling the state of the relay. 5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the controlling of OFF of the relay includes: receiving a driving voltage from the battery, receiving the wakeup signal from the electric load and switching to a wakeup state; monitoring the state of the battery upon switching to the wakeup state; and controlling ON/OFF of the relay according to a state of charge (SoC) of the battery. 6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein, when the state of charge (SoC) of the battery is less than a first predetermined level or is greater than a second predetermined level, the relay is configured to be controlled to be turned off.
