ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 24 -- United States Patent no. 12,560,652, issued on Feb. 24, was assigned to STUDSVIK INC. (Wilmington, N.C.).
"System and Methods for Determining Battery Health" was invented by David D. Heilman (Geneseo, Ill.) and Benjamin P. Youman (Davis Junction, Ill.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for determining battery health includes discharging a battery such that its voltage decays exponentially from a first voltage value to a second voltage value over a first duration. The method includes, during the first duration in which the voltage of the battery decays from the first voltage value to the second voltage value, selecting a third voltage value at which the voltage...
