What changed

This document is a USPTO patent application (US20260084583A1) for a system and method related to vehicle battery modules. The proposed system calculates battery life estimations based on received information and collected data, potentially communicating with a remote server. It also aims to provide for a predictive maintenance program for battery modules.

This is a patent application, not a regulation, and therefore does not impose any immediate compliance obligations or penalties on regulated entities. It represents a disclosure of an invention and does not require any action from compliance officers at this stage. Further developments would depend on the patent being granted and any subsequent commercialization or licensing.

Abstract

A system and method for determination of and communicating replacement determinations and maintenance scheduling for battery modules is disclosed. The method includes calculating a life estimation for the battery module based on received information and collected data, the battery module may be in communication with a server remote from the battery module, with the server having a value for enterprise acceptability for the battery module, the server may comprise a communication module to receive the information from the battery module, a processor; and memory operatively connected to the processor, with the processor executing the instructions for calculating a life estimation for the battery module based on the received information and the collected data, further the system may provide a for a predictive maintenance program.
