Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In a method for operating an electric device, which includes a first storage battery pack, a second storage battery pack and an electrical load, no more than one storage battery pack is discharged at any given time to operate the load. In the process, the storage battery pack to be discharged is selected as a function of a temperature of the first storage battery pack and a temperature of the second storage battery pack and/or as a function of an internal resistance of the first storage battery pack and an internal resistance of the second storage battery pack.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for operating an electric device, the device having a first storage battery pack, a second storage battery pack and an electrical load, the method comprising: discharging no more than one storage battery pack at any given time to operate the load; and selecting the storage battery pack to be discharged at least one of: i) as a function of a temperature of the first storage battery pack and a temperature of the second storage battery pack, and ii) as a function of an internal resistance of the first storage battery pack and an internal resistance of the second storage battery pack, wherein a discharge of a respective storage battery pack is terminated when a temperature of the respective storage battery pack reaches a specified threshold value, and when the temperature of the respective storage battery pack reaches the specified threshold value, a discharge of the other storage battery pack is initiated, wherein the storage battery pack having the lowest temperature is discharged initially. 2. A method for operating an electric device, the device having a first storage battery pack, a second storage battery pack and an electrical load, the method comprising: discharging no more than one storage battery pack at any given time to operate the load; and selecting the storage battery pack to be discharged at least one of: i) as a function of a temperature of the first storage battery pack and a temperature of the second storage battery pack, and ii) as a function of an internal resistance of the first storage battery pack and an internal resistance of the second storage battery pack, wherein a discharge of a respective storage battery pack is terminated when a temperature of the respective storage battery pack reaches a specified threshold value, and when the temperature of the respective storage battery pack reaches the specified threshold value, a discharge of the other storage battery pack is initiated, wherein the first storage battery pack and the second storage battery pack are discharged in alternation when the temperature of the first storage battery pack and the temperature of the second storage battery pack differ by less than a specified threshold value from each other. 3. The method as recited in claim 2 , wherein a change between the first storage battery pack and the second storage battery pack takes place more frequently than once per minute. 4. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the storage battery pack having lowest internal resistance is discharged if a required electrical output exceeds a specified threshold value. 5. A method for operating an electric device, the device having a first storage battery pack, a second storage battery pack and an electrical load, the method comprising: discharging no more than one storage battery pack at any given time to operate the load; and selecting the storage battery pack to be discharged at least one of: i) as a function of a temperature of the first storage battery pack and a temperature of the second storage battery pack, and ii) as a function of an internal resistance of the first storage battery pack and an internal resistance of the second storage battery pack, wherein the first storage battery pack and the second storage battery pack are discharged in alternation when the temperature of the first storage battery pack and the temperature of the second storage battery pack differ by less than a specified threshold value from each other, wherein discharge of the first and second storage battery packs in alternation is terminated when the temperature of the first or second storage battery pack reaches the specified threshold value. 6. A method for operating an electric device, the device having a first storage battery pack, a second storage battery pack and an electrical load, the method comprising: discharging no more than one storage battery pack at any given time to operate the load; and selecting the storage battery pack to be discharged at least one of: i) as a function of a temperature of the first storage battery pack and a temperature of the second storage battery pack, and ii) as a function of an internal resistance of the first storage battery pack and an internal resistance of the second storage battery pack, wherein a discharge of a respective storage battery pack is terminated when a temperature of the respective storage battery pack reaches a specified threshold value, and when the temperature of the respective storage battery pack reaches the specified threshold value, a discharge of the other storage battery pack is initiated, wherein discharge of the other storage battery pack is terminated when a temperature of the other storage battery pack reaches a specified threshold value. 7. The method as recited in claim 6 , wherein, when the temperature of the other storage battery pack reaches the specified threshold temperature and discharge of the other storage battery pack is terminated, a discharge of the first battery pack is initiated if the temperature of the first battery pack is below the specified threshold temperature. 8. The method as recited in claim 6 , wherein, when the temperature of the other storage battery pack reaches the specified threshold temperature and discharge of the other storage battery pack is terminated, operating the electric device is terminated.
