Latest Patents
David C. Baggaley holds a patent for a "Battery pack with multiple secure modules." This invention presents a modularized power supply that employs individual electrochemical cells, which are rendered inert when separated from a specified unlocking circuit. The design includes a cell module with a disabling circuit that isolates the cell terminals, preventing the release of significant cell energy. A switch in the disabling circuit is activated when the cell module connects to the specified unlocking circuit in an external frame. This frame accommodates multiple modules, ensuring that all must be connected before power is delivered to a host interface. The frame may also include circuits and devices for monitoring module performance, controlling cell charging and discharging, and protective elements to safeguard against high temperatures and overcurrent conditions. By integrating these features into the frame, the complexity, weight, and cost of individual modules are reduced. The invention is applicable to both integrated power supplies and removable battery packs, utilizing thin rigid modules to form a large flat battery pack.
