Abstract:
Techniques for controlling charging of a battery of a vehicle comprise receiving, from a positive (B+) voltage sensor, a B+ voltage signal indicative of a voltage at a B+ terminal of an alternator of the vehicle, receiving, from an intelligent battery sensor (IBS), an IBS voltage signal indicative of a voltage at a positive terminal of the battery, applying high pass and low pass filters to the B+ voltage signal and the IBS voltage signals, respectively, estimating a voltage of the battery using both the filtered B+ voltage signal and the filtered IBS voltage signal, adjusting a target voltage for the battery based on the estimated battery voltage, and controlling charging of the battery using the adjusted target voltage to mitigate overcharging and undercharging of the battery.
