  • Publication number: 20110080299
    Abstract: An emergency power activation device includes at least one power module and a main control module. Each of the at least one power module includes an output end. The main control module includes an interface unit and a monitoring unit. When the interface unit is electrically connected with the power module, the electric energy stored in the power module can be outputted to the output end. The monitoring unit monitors the power storage of the power module and the electric connection between the power module and the main control module in real time. In this way, the emergency power activation device can keep the power supply stable while on standby for a long time and monitor the storage of its internal electric energy for an emergency power generator.

  • Publication number: 20090284076
    Abstract: A fault-tolerant battery set and a start-up battery module are described. The fault-tolerant battery set includes a main battery module, a battery monitoring unit, a control switch unit, and a back-up battery module. The main battery module includes a battery unit and a battery monitoring circuit. When the battery unit fails, the control switch unit conducts a power supply connection path according to a failure signal sent from the battery monitoring circuit, so as to replace the failed main battery module with a back-up power provided by the back-up battery module through the power supply connection path.
