FIELD OF INVENTION
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to electric batteries, and more particularly to a system and method to monitor a battery pack.
BACKGROUND
An electric battery is a device which includes one or more electrochemical cells with external connections that supplies power for electrical devices such as flashlights, smartphones, and electric vehicles. A positive terminal of the electric battery is called as a cathode and a negative terminal of the electric battery is called as an anode.
In recent days, usage of electric battery goes high due to usage of electric vehicles (EV). Electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers making electric vehicles with different types of electric batteries-based on applications such as a Lead-acid, and a Lithium-ion etc.
In conventional approach, electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers and institutions explore different types of electric batteries because there is no standardization in manufacturing electric batteries. For example, in the conventional approach the electric vehicle comes for sale with kind of a battery pack, but there is no facility to upgrade the battery pack to higher or lower version. The same approach fails to disclose the facility to upgrade the chemistry of the battery pack to a current technology, which leads to restrict vehicle owner to one vendor, and this approach will affect resale value of the electric vehicle.
In the same approach, monitoring and controlling the chemical reaction of the battery pack, temperature of the battery pack and cell configuration of the battery pack are very important task to achieve optimum performance, but in the conventional approach, there is no facility to monitor and control the battery pack.
Hence, there is a need for an improved system and method to monitor a battery pack to address the aforementioned issues.
