An electrical unit includes a housing member, a slider configured to slide along an outer surface of the housing member and selectively retain an electrical connector relative to the housing member, and a bracket connected to the housing member. The bracket may restrict movement of the slider in at least one direction. The slider may include a collar and/or a leg. The leg may extend substantially perpendicularly from the collar. The electrical unit may include a second bracket. The housing member may include a first bracket recess and/or a second bracket recess.

Electrical unit and assembly

A distributed battery control network ( ) for a battery string ( ) has a plurality of sensing modules (SM) each associated with one of the batteries in the battery string ( ). Each of the sensing modules has a respective sequencing input (SI) and a sequencing output ( ). Said plurality modules have a sequencing input with a predetermined signature type, storing said address in a particular one of said plurality modules with said sequencing input equal to said signature type, and generating an identifying signature at an output of said particular one of plurality modules with said sequencing input equal to said signature type. A network ( ) is coupled to each of the sending modules. A controller ( ) is coupled to the bus and communicates with each of the sensing modules. The controller ( ) loads each of the sensing modules with an address and a signature type.
