Abstract

A battery control module for use with a battery includes a voltage measuring module that measures battery voltage and a current measuring module that measures battery current. A power limit module communicates with the current and voltage measuring modules and once every time period estimates a battery current limit that corresponds with a future time period. The battery current limit is based on a predetermined voltage limit of the battery and a battery current and a battery voltage that correspond with a time period that precedes the future time period.
