A portable power source. The portable power source includes a housing, a first battery pack support configured to receive a first removable and rechargeable battery pack, a second battery pack support configured to receive a second removable and rechargeable battery pack, an inverter within the housing, and an alternating current power outlet. The inverter is configured to receive output power from the first removable and rechargeable battery pack and the second removable and rechargeable battery pack. The inverter is configured to produce an alternating current power output. The alternating current power outlet is configured to receive the alternating current power output from the inverter. The inverter is configured to be disabled when the first removable and rechargeable battery pack is received in the first battery pack support and the second removable and rechargeable battery pack is not received in the second battery pack support.

Portable power source

A resettable electronic fuse for a high-power device such as a power tool, a battery pack for the power tool, or a battery pack charger. The resettable electronic fuse is connected in a current path of the device and is operable or configured to selectively interrupt current through the resettable electronic fuse based on a detected condition of the device (e.g., a detected fault condition of the device). The resettable electronic fuse is also configured to be reset after a detected fault condition has ended. In some embodiments, the resettable electronic fuse is configured to reset itself. In other embodiments, the resettable electronic fuse is configured to receive a signal (e.g., from a device controller) to reset.

Resettable electronic fuse for high-power devices

A portable power supply including an internal power source, an AC output, a DC output, and an input unit configured to receive power from a first external source. The portable power supply further includes a first power conversion unit configured to convert the power received from the first external source to a first DC power used for charging the internal power source, an AC power conversion unit configured to convert power output by the internal power source to an AC power used for powering a first peripheral device connected to the AC output, and a DC power conversion unit configured to convert power output by the internal power source to a second DC power used for powering a second peripheral device connected to the DC output.

Portable power supply

A power adapter assembly and an electrical system. The power adapter assembly is operable to supply power to an electrical device. The power adapter assembly includes a power box including a housing, an electrical circuit supported by the housing, the electrical circuit being operable to receive as input AC power and to output DC power, an adapter controller operable to control the adapter assembly; and an adapter electrically connected to the power box, the adapter including an adapter engagement portion connectable to a device engagement portion to connect the adapter to the electrical device, DC power being output from the electrical circuit through the adapter to the electrical device to power the load, when the adapter engagement portion is connected to the device engagement portion, a communication interface between the adapter assembly and the electrical device being active even when power is not being output to power the load.
