Abstract: The transmission and storage of electric vehicle battery management system (BMS) data are time consuming and infeasible, which reduces the efficiency of data transmission and storage. For this problem, this paper presents a method of battery data compression, the pre-compression is to reduce the amount of data and improve the data redundancy and repeatability, and a strategy was formulated that two universal compression methods, Huffman coding and run-length coding, were applied to different battery data. Experimental results show the method of battery data compression can obtain a good compressibility. The battery data compressibility of this paper was about 21%.

Keywords: battery data; data compression; pre-compression; Huffman coding; run-length coding.
