Battery cover

A charger for a starting, lighting, and ignition (SLI) battery is provided. The charger includes a base unit having a pair of terminals that are adapted to engage a pair of conductive terminals coupled to a battery unit to electrically couple the base unit to the battery unit. The charger also includes charging circuitry having power conversion circuitry that is adapted to receive primary power and to convert the primary power to a battery power output compatible with a charging voltage of the battery unit.

Battery charging devices and systems

A system for placing a battery module in a sleep mode may include one or more sensors that monitor at least two properties associated with one or more batteries within the battery module that provides energy to a vehicle. The at least two properties may include two or more of: a state of charge, an input voltage, an input current, and a temperature. The system may also include a processor that receives measurements of the at least two properties from the one or more sensors, compares the measurements of the at least two properties to at least two respective thresholds, and places the battery module in the sleep mode when one of the measurements of the at least two properties is greater than a respective one of the at least two respective thresholds.

System and method for placing a battery into a sleep mode

A state of charge indicator for providing an indication of a state of charge of a battery module includes an indicator light configured to emit a first wavelength of light representative of the state of charge of the battery module. The state of charge indicator also includes a connector configured to be removably coupled to a mating connector of the battery module. The connector includes a plurality of electrical contacts. The plurality of electrical contacts includes a first electrical contact configured to receive a signal from the battery module indicative of the state of charge of the battery module and to transmit the signal to the state of charge indicator to activate the indicator light.

State of charge indicator method and system

A battery module includes a battery management system disposed in a housing of the battery module. The battery management system is configured to monitor an operational parameter of the battery module. The battery management system is electrically coupled to a positive terminal and a negative terminal of the battery module. The battery module also includes a connector disposed in an outer surface of the housing. The connector includes a plurality of electrical contacts and is electrically coupled to the battery management system.

Battery construction for integration of battery management system and method

A battery system includes a housing and a plurality of battery cells disposed in the housing. The battery system also includes a battery management system and configured to monitor one or more operational parameters of the battery system. The battery management system is electrically coupled to a positive terminal and a negative terminal of the battery system. Additionally, the battery system includes a multi-conductor connector disposed in an outer surface of the housing and electrically coupled to the battery management system. Further, the battery system includes a state of charge indicator configured to provide an indication of a state of charge of the battery system. The state of charge indicator includes a first multi-conductor connector configured to couple to the multi-conductor connector of the battery system.
