Abstract
A battery pack includes a housing, rechargeable lithium-ion battery cells, a positive terminal, a negative terminal, a data terminal, a battery management system, and an Internet of Things (IoT) module. The data terminal includes at least one data pin that is configured to receive operational information from a piece of equipment coupled with the battery pack. The IoT module is in communication with the data terminal and the battery management system, and is configured to receive operational information about the piece of equipment from the data terminal, receive operational information about the rechargeable lithium-ion battery cells from the battery management system, and transmit the operational information about the piece of equipment and the operational information from the lithium-ion battery cells via a network interface. The network interface is configured to communicate the operational information about the piece of equipment and the operational information about the rechargeable lithium-ion battery cells to a mesh network, and is configured to communicate over at least two frequencies.
