Abstract: A battery monitoring apparatus that senses battery conditions such as low battery charge, end of battery capacity, and end of battery life, and responds by taking actions such as sending messages to a remote site and/or powering down. A rechargeable battery is coupled to one or more power-consuming electrical components, including battery monitoring equipment. The battery monitoring equipment senses battery charge. In response to a low-battery-charge condition, the battery monitoring equipment transmits a battery status message to a remote site and powers-down some of the electrical components. Whenever the battery nears the end of its capacity, the monitoring equipment powers down all electronic components and awaits the application of external power. The invention also tracks the time required for the battery charge to deplete. Charge duration decreases over time, and whenever it reaches a predetermined minimum, the battery monitoring equipment transmits a representative status message to the remote site.

Abstract: The present invention includes a system and method of charging a rechargeable battery. The system can further include a processor that is adapted to control one of the high power charger or the low power charger to charge the battery in response to the high power input voltage relative to a predetermined high power voltage value and the low power input voltage relative to a predetermined low power voltage value. The method can include the steps of determining a high power input voltage of the high power source, determining a low power input voltage of the low power source, causing a high power charger to charge the battery in response to sufficient high power input voltage, and causing a low power charger to charge the battery in response to an insufficient high power input voltage and a sufficient low power input voltage.

Abstract translation: 一种电池监视装置，用于感测诸如电池电量低，电池容量结束和电池寿命结束之类的电池状况，并通过采取诸如向远程站点发送消息和/或关闭电源的动作来响应。 可再充电电池被耦合到一个或多个耗电的电子组件，包括电池监视设备。 电池监控设备检测电池电量。 响应于电池电量不足的情况，电池监控设备将电池状态消息发送到远程站点并且关闭一些电气部件。 只要电池接近其容量，监控设备就会关闭所有电子组件，并等待外部电源的使用。 本发明还跟踪电池充电耗尽所需的时间。 充电持续时间随时间减少，并且每当充电持续时间达到预定的最小值时，电池监测设备就向远程地点发送代表状态消息。
