Storage batteries 3, 4 are separately and sequentially given a partial charge at a high rate and are then connected in parallel and receive a final charge at a reduced rate. Closure of a main switch 7 energizes a charging rectifier 2 over transformer 6 and causes relays 14, 21 to pick up. The first relay shorts out a resistor 12 at contacts 13 and opens its contacts 22 to remove a by-pass around contacts 26 of relay 21 which, in picking up, causes (a) energization of contactor 15 (over contacts 26) to connect battery 3 to the rectifier and (b) de-energization of contactor 18 (at contacts 25) to disconnect battery 4 from the rectifier. Upon battery 3 attaining a predetermined voltage-say corresponding to 80 per cent full charge-relay 27 responds and, at its contacts 30, de-energizes relay 21. The conditions of contactors 15, 18 reverse, in consequence, so that battery ...

A source of environmental pollution is the burning of fuel by the transportation vehicles (e.g., cars, trucks). The use of electric vehicles (EVs) is perceived as an essential step towards better utilization of energy. Current EVs make use of an electric engine and a battery pack that provides energy to that engine. The technology of electric engines is well developed because of the common use of such engines in trains, submarines and industrial facilities. But, while the battery packs used in EVs have made a lot of progress in the last couple of years, these battery packs still have problems. These battery packs are expansive, heavy, and limited in the amount of energy that they can provide. This obstacle is a major factor that limits the use of EVs today in the mass market.

A microprocessor monitors the voltage levels of the batteries in each bank and controls relays to switch the electrical load over to a charged battery bank when the voltage level of the discharging battery bank drops below a minimum run threshold. The microprocessor also monitors the voltage levels of the charging battery bank and controls relays to cease charging when the voltage level rises above a minimum charge threshold. The batteries are charged by an alternator driven by a drive motor through a gear reduction system.

The RESS further includes switches that selectively connect or disconnect the packs to or from each other to achieve series and parallel modes. The controller executes a method by detecting a requested series to parallel mode transition. Responsive to a threshold imbalance being present in a state of charge or pack voltage of the packs relative to each other, the controller balances the state of charge/voltage using open/closed state control of the cell balancing circuits, and possibly a switching block having PWM-controlled switches and a circuit element. The controller may execute the requested mode transition upon balancing.
