Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Implementations of the present invention contemplate using the communicative connections between telematics units in vehicles and a telematics service provider (TSP) to facilitate discharging and recharging of high energy electrical power storage devices, e.g. batteries, in vehicles. Specifically, implementations of the present invention contemplate an entity, e.g. a TSP, located remotely from a vehicle, that issues a command to a telematics unit in the vehicle to discharge or recharge an electrical power storage device in the vehicle. In some implementations, the command to discharge the storage device is issued by the TSP or other remote entity in response to a prior transmission sent by the telematics unit in the vehicle to the TSP or other entity. In other implementations, the command to discharge or recharge the storage device issued by the TSP or remote entity is triggered by the determination that a disaster may impact the vehicle.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for safely removing stored power from a high energy electrical power storage device in a vehicle implemented at a telematics unit in the vehicle, the method comprising: receiving an instruction to cause the electrical power storage device to attain a low power state through a discharging process; issuing instructions to a charging control module of the vehicle to drain power from the electrical power storage device; receiving, from the cha…
