Systems and methods for determining battery state of charge

Abstract:

A system that includes a battery, a power source, and a controller. The power source is configured to provide a charging current to the battery initially, and the controller is configured to associate a first impedance associated with a first state of charge (SOC) of the battery. Subsequently, the controller is configured to determine a second impedance of the battery during a discharge state of the battery. The controller may then determine a second SOC of the battery during the discharge state based on the first SOC of the battery when the second impedance corresponds to the first impedance.
