Managing and monitoring car-battery to effectively and safely supply energy to electrically powered vehicles

Abstract

The present invention discloses a battery lease and exchange system for a vehicle owner to make a stop at a battery refueling station where the battery on the car that has already had a low capacity is quickly removed and another battery that is fully charged is installed such that the battery “refueling” process may be executed quickly without being limited by the speed of recharging the batteries. Instead of owning the batteries, the owner or operator of the car may just lease the batteries required to drive the car for certain distance

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A battery lease and exchange system for a vehicle owner to make a stop at a battery refueling station where the battery on the car that has already had a low capacity is quickly removed and another battery that is fully charged is installed such that the battery “refueling” process may be executed quickly without being limited by the speed of recharging the batteries. Instead of owning the batteries, the owner or operator of the car may just lease the batteries required to drive the car for certain distance 
     
     
         2 . A battery for providing power to an engine of the vehicle further comprising a battery health state monitoring sensor implemented as an integrated circuit (IC) chip for continuous or periodically detecting designated parameters as indicators of the conditions of the batteries. 
     
     
         3 . The battery of  claim 2  wherein the IC chip implemented as the sensor for measuring and monitoring the conditions of the battery further includes a transmitter for transmitting signals to specific signal receivers through local area network (LAN) WiFi, and Internet such that the conditions of the battery can be monitored for safe operation and optimally charged and maintained. 
     
     
         4 . The battery for providing energy to drive an engine of a vehicle of  claim 4  wherein the battery further includes an integrated circuit (IC) chip comprising sensing elements for detecting battery parameters indicating important conditions of the battery. In another embodiment, the IC chip further includes a transmitter for transmitting signals based on the battery parameters detected by the sensing element. In another embodiment, this invention further includes a network for signal transmission for transmitting signals based on the battery parameters to a signal receiver for receiving, processing and monitoring the conditions of the battery 
     
     
         5 . A method to supply electrical energy to a vehicle. The method includes a step of setting up battery refueling stations on a roadside. The method further includes a step of a driver driving a vehicle to the refuel station and the refuel station for carrying out a process of removing charge-depleted batteries from the vehicle and installing full charged battery for supplying power to the vehicle onto the vehicle
