ABSTRACT:
A battery monitoring system for an electric vehicle is provided in which an individual battery monitor is physically touching and electrically connected to each one of the battery modules in the string of series or parallel connected battery modules. The battery monitors are themselves connected in a series loop with a central computer via optical communication links such that when the central computer issues a command to force instantaneous battery parameter readings, data from a battery monitor upstream in the series loop is transmitted via an optical communication link to the next battery monitor downstream and ultimately back to the central computer. The central computer utilizes the battery parameter data thus collected to determine various battery charge and fault conditions.
