Battery Control System: Description

The battery control system consists of a battery ECU, on-board charger, and charger control panel. The battery ECU monitors the battery state, controls charging and driving power use, calculates remaining capacity, and outputs signals to other components. The on-board charger charges the batteries under control of the battery ECU. The charger control panel allows setting charge start time and settings and displays charge status.

BATTERY CONTROL SYSTEM


DESCRIPTION
The battery control system monitors the state of the traction batteries of the electrical vehicle in order to en-
sure the proper use of the batteries and to display their residual capacity.

CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION


The battery control system consists of a battery ECU that controls the charging of the batteries and calculates
the batteries residual capacity, an on-board charger, a charger control panel for controlling the on-board char-
ger, a current sensor that monitors the state of the traction batteries, etc.

1. Battery ECU
The battery ECU provides the following functions:

Charging Control Function


During charging, the battery ECU constantly monitors the state of the traction batteries and controls the op-
eration of the charger, battery cooling fan related to charging. The battery ECU transmits, via serial commu-
nication, the commands to the charger for starting or stopping the charger and for controlling the charging
current.

Driving Battery Control Function


When the vehicle is being driven, the battery ECU constantly monitors the traction batteries voltage and
temperature. In case of an abnormal battery temperature or a reduction in voltage, the battery ECU protects
the traction batteries by limiting the motors maximum output. In case of a high battery temperature, the
battery ECU protects the traction batteries by controlling the electrical power through regenerative braking.

SOC (State Of Charge) Calculation Function


The battery ECU calculates the traction batteries residual capacity through the ampere-hour formula. To
ensure the monitoring precision, various corrections are made during the process of calculating the residual
capacity according to the traction batteries temperature, voltage, and amperage. The result of the traction
batteries residual capacity calculation is displayed in the SOC meter in the combination meter.

Battery Cooling Fan Control


The battery ECU constantly monitors the traction batteries temperature while the vehicle is being driven,
as well as when the traction batteries are being charged and controls the cooling fan of the battery cooling
system.

Output to Combination Meter


The battery ECU outputs the signals that represent the detected battery voltage and the calculated battery
residual capacity to the combination meter. When the battery residual capacity is low, the battery ECU out-
puts a signal to the residual capacity warning light in the meter.

2. On-Board Charger
The on-board charger received commands from the battery ECU for starting or stopping the charger and for
controlling the charging current. The signals from the battery ECU to the on-board charger are transmitted
via serial communication.

3. Charger Control Panel


The charger control panel, which is used for controlling the charging of the on-board charger, is provided in
the instrument panel.

Function
The function of the parts on the charger control panel such as switches and displays are described below.
