STATE OF CHARGE LIMITATION FOR INCREASING BATTERY LIFE

원문 (중국어)

A method and system for intelligent and variable charging of a power supply for a transport refrigeration unit (“TRU”) installed on a transport. The method and system varies a daily state of charge or total battery capacity based upon expected TRU need. The system includes at least one battery and a charging connector for an EV vehicle charger. A controller controls a charge level of the at least one battery. The controller has a location and/or a travel route for the TRU and access external weather data for that location or route. The controller analyzes a weather pattern for the location and/or the travel route to determine an expected environment, and determines the battery capacity required and maximum state of charge for the battery system based upon the expected environment. The system charges the at least one battery via the charging connector to obtain the maximum state of charge.
