Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for assembly line charging of vehicle batteries. In an embodiment, the method includes receiving battery data of a plurality of vehicle batteries on an assembly line, the received battery data including electric charge data of each vehicle battery of the plurality of vehicle batteries, each of the plurality of vehicle batteries being powered by a corresponding linear section of a stationary power transmitter line, calculating a vehicle battery charge of each of the plurality of vehicle batteries based on the received electric charge data, evaluating the calculated vehicle battery charge of each of the plurality of vehicle batteries relative to associated vehicle battery charge parameters, and adjusting a power supplied to the corresponding linear section of the stationary power transmitter line based on the evaluation of the calculated vehicle battery charge of each of the plurality of vehicle batteries.
