US Patent Issued to THE AEROSPACE on July 14 for "Monitoring self-discharge in operating battery cells" (California Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 14 -- United States Patent no. 12,681,105, issued on July 14, was assigned to THE AEROSPACE Corp. (El Segundo, Calif.).

"Monitoring self-discharge in operating battery cells" was invented by Albert Zimmerman (El Segundo, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Monitoring self-discharge in operating battery cells (i.e., actively charging or discharging) is disclosed. Cell voltage data over time is used to detect cell-to-cell charge voltage imbalance in a battery while battery cells are at their peak charge voltage. Resistors across each cell are switched on or off according to the average charge voltage imbalance. Actual resistor on-times are used as input to train a neural...
