OSTI ID:6838815
This patent describes the method of monitoring the condition of a battery by monitoring at least one parameter, wherein the batter comprises a plurality of units, each unit comprising a given number of cells connected in a given manner. The method comprises: scanning the units and measuring and storing the value of the parameter for each unit, deriving a mean value of the parameter and determining the individual deviation from the mean value for each unit, calculating a standard deviation using the individual deviations, determining a tolerance value equal to a given number times the standard deviation, comparing the value of the parameter for each unit with the tolerance and flagging any values which differ from the mean by more than the tolerance, displaying the value of the parameter for each unit and highlighting any value which is out of limit, making a decision as to whether there were any out of limit values flagged, if not then initiating another scan, or if any value has been flagged then actuating an alarm.
