A ballistic resistant case for a secondary battery having a rectangular metal case () with a panel () connected to the bottom wall and the side walls to divide the internal space of the case into cell pack receiving bays (). A bus bar () extends from the front wall, across the top of the panel, to the rear wall. A connector () secures the cover () to the panel () with the bus bar () sandwiched therebetween. The bus bar () reinforces a central portion of the cover () and prevents the panel () and the walls from deflecting to provide ballistic protection for the cell packs ().

Ballistic resistant case for rechargeable batteries

Rechargeable cells in cylindrical form are arranged within frames in a honeycomb structure and coupled by connecting straps outside the frames to form cell pack. Several cell packs, an electronic switch and control circuit are integrated into the battery housing. A bus bar extends around the perimeter of the housing. A high density MOSFET switch is coupled between the bur bar and the battery contact. A high power electronic clamp disposed across the battery terminals absorbs or redirects transients. An active, high-efficiency, low-noise cell balance converter or a LC based resonant converter may also be provided. For advanced battery applications a +5V CAN bus interface is provided via two circular connectors. Thermistors are provided for use in a thermal protection scheme.

Secondary battery housing with control electronics

A modular case having similarly sized U-shaped sections that enclose energy storage cells and a battery management system. Additional modules can be ganged together to increase the energy storage and output capacity. Removable panels in the sections can be removed for the installation of jacks and a status display. Various charging sources can be coupled to the module including solar, generator and AC mains for charging. An output switch selectively delivers AC mains power when available, and then switches to battery power during periods of AC mains unavailability.

Battery charger

A connector module permits termination of cross-connect wires on one surface (front) and cable wires on an opposite surface (rear). The module exhibits a configuration, which permits test access and protector (i.e., protection module) mounting from the front surface. The jumper wires are inserted from a side surface through wire guides or channels that bring the wires from the side surface to the front surface where the wires can be terminated without impeding insertion and removal of protection modules from the front of the connector module. There is an intermediate surface below the front surface that is accessible from the front and recessed to allow protection modules to be installed completely below the terminated wires, allowing termination and maintenance of jumper wires after the protection module is installed from the front.

Connector module

A modular distributing frame for supporting telephone connector blocks for single person front jumper administration. The connector blocks are mounted in vertical columns having vertical troughs on both sides. Horizontal troughs are located at the top, bottom and an intermediate location while being in the same plane as the vertical troughs.
