It's important to know when a battery has been damaged - here's how firms are going about detecting such issues
Examples include debris on the road such as lashing straps, rocks and bits of metal being thrown up beneath the car and damaging the floor, and heavy covers are used to protect the battery for that reason. But consider this: if something heavy does fly up and impact the underside of the car, at what point does the driver decide it should be checked in a workshop? In all likelihood, most drivers wouldn’t bother if all seems well and there were no warning lights.
The BID system detects any impact on the bottom of the car using pressure sensors. It can classify the type of impact the underfloor has sustained, and if it detects that the battery integrity may have been breached, it warns the driver.
As well as impacts at high speed, the system also has a role to play in low-speed situations such as if the car is grounded on a kerb. In that case, the BID could be used to trigger a fast-acting, variable ride height suspension system to lift the car for just a moment to clear the obstacle. The pressure sensor ‘satellites’ are derived from the Pedestrian Protect System, which has been around for over 10 years.
The BID is the latest addition to what Continental calls its broad sensor portfolio, along with the high-voltage Current Sensor Module , which provides a more accurate assessment of rapid-charge current and temperature to keep the battery healthy. When a battery is charged, especially when it’s charged quickly using high current, or discharged rapidly by enthusiastic driving, it gets hot. When that happens, the temperature gradient has to be controlled to avoid damage.
