Capacity independent fast charging of batteries
A battery charging monitor is provided including a non-invasive sensor electrically connected to at least one battery cell of at least one battery, which is configured to measure an internal temperature of the at least one battery cell. The non-invasive internal temperature sensor is connected to the microcontroller that is configured to determine a rate of change of the internal temperature of the at least one battery cell based on the internal temperature of the at least one battery cell, determine a state of charge of the at least one battery cell based on the rate of change of the internal temperature, and cause a charging rate to be applied, by a battery charger, to the at least one battery cell based on the determined state of charge.
