✦ Synopsis

This paper reports on investigations of the feasibility of the fast recharge of an electric vehicle battery from a stationary battery. A model for battery discharge simulation is presented. A real-time simulation of a battery with this model in combination with a real battery is used to simulate various ways of battery-to-battery charge. The validity of the simulation is tested by comparison with real battery-to-battery charge experiments. The advantages and disadvantages of different methods are discussed. Independent of battery-to-battery charge, the thermal limitations of fast battery charge, and charging at constant, resistance-free-voltage as the best method of fast battery recharge, are discussed.
