The over-charged and over-discharged states are another two faults that can cause permanent damagetotheinternalstructureofbatteries. Intheprototypesystem,over-chargedandover-discharged fault-diagnosis schemes are both integrated. Theprotection and self-recoveryprocesses canbe seen in Figures 16 and 17, respectively. As observed in Figure 16, after the batterieswere fully charged, theover-chargedfaultwasreported,andthechargingswitchwasturnedoffbythecontrollertoisolatethe chargingmodulefromthecells.
