| 1. A method for vehicle battery protection with battery power source noise pattern analysis comprising the steps of:
i) getting power source signal from positive and negative poles of a main battery and a backup battery of vehicles;
ii) measuring voltage of the main battery at a specific sampling time;
iii) measuring current of the backup battery at a specific sampling time;
iv) measuring voltage of the backup battery at a specific sampling time;
v) measuring voltage noise of a vehicle generator at a specific sampling time;
vi) enter a first power management pattern when detected voltage values of successive sampling signals of the main battery
in a certain interval are higher than a third voltage;
vii) enter a second power management pattern when detected voltage values of successive sampling signals of the main battery
in a certain interval are lower than a first voltage;
viii) enter a seventh power management pattern when detected current values of successive sampling signals in a certain interval
are higher than a limited current, wherein, the successive sampling time in a certain interval ranging from 5 to 8, or equivalent
with sampling time;
ix) when the detected battery voltage values of successive sampling signals in a certain interval are lower than the third
voltage and higher than a second voltage, and the power source noise variation matches noise pattern that the generator charges
the batteries, it is learned that the vehicle is turned on normally and the generator charges the main battery as well as
the backup battery so that a third power management pattern is taken; wherein the successive sampling times of the main battery
in a certain interval ranging from 4 to 9, or equivalent with sampling time, and the successive sampling times of the noise
in a certain interval ranging from 6 to 10, or equivalent with sampling time;
x) when the detected battery voltage values of successive sampling signals in a certain interval are lower than the second
voltage and the voltage noise variation doesn't match noise pattern that the generator charges the batteries, it is leaned
that the engine is off and stops charging the batteries while other electric appliances still consume power, and a fourth
power management pattern is taken; wherein the successive sampling times of the main battery in a certain interval ranging
from 4 to 9, or equivalent with sampling time, and the successive sampling times of the noise in a certain interval ranging
from 6 to 10, or equivalent with sampling time;
xi) under the fourth power management pattern, when the preset timing of a variable timer is up, take the fifth power management
pattern; wherein the time of the variable timer is set from 0 minutes to the defined hours and the switches are turned on
at predetermined interval;
xii) when the detected battery voltage values of successive sampling signals in a certain interval are lower than the first
voltage and the power source noise variation doesn't match noise pattern that the generator charges the batteries, it is leaned
that the engine is off and stops charging the batteries while other electric appliances still consume power so that the main
battery power is lowered to safe limit, and a sixth power management pattern is taken; wherein the successive sampling times
of the main battery in a certain interval ranging from 4 to 9, or equivalent with sampling time, and the successive sampling
times of the noise in a certain interval ranging from 6 to 10, or equivalent with sampling time;
xiii) on the first power management pattern, cut off and stop charging the main battery as well as the backup battery, and
display that the batteries are full charged;
xiv) on the second power management pattern, take alarming and display that the battery voltage is low;
xv) on the third power management pattern, connect and charge the main battery as well as the backup battery, and display
charging status;
xvi) on the fourth power management pattern, display power exhaustion of the main battery, and supply power from the backup
battery;
xvii) on the fifth power management pattern, cut off power supply from the main battery when the preset time is up, display
power exhaustion of the main battery, and supply power from the backup battery;
xviii) on the sixth power management pattern, cutoff power supply from the backup battery, display power exhaustion of the
main battery as well as the backup battery while the power is enough for restarting the vehicle;
xix) on the seventh power management pattern, cutoff power supply from the main battery as well as the backup battery, display/alarm
abnormal status or short circuit of vehicle electric appliances and take measures for protection of the batteries and the
vehicle.
