A new sliding mode observer is proposed in this paper; compared with the existing sliding mode observer used for SOC estimation, the new observer has the advantages of simple design and good generality. The robustness of the new observer was proved by Lyapunov stability theorem. Taking the first-order Randle circuit model of the battery as an example, the new sliding mode observer was designed. Battery test was done with the simulated FUDS condition, and the robustness of the new observer was verified by the test. Because battery internal ohmic resistance is changing in battery working process, which has a significant effect on SOC estimation, a new double sliding mode observer was designed to identify the internal resistance. The tests results show that the battery internal ohmic resistance changes greatly when the SOC is low and the double observer can accurately identify the resistance which improves the accuracy of the battery model. The results also show that the new double observer is robust and can improve the precision of SOC estimation when the battery remaining capacity is low.
