  • Patent number: 12228986
    Abstract: A system for providing power from a USB-C PD connection includes a USB-C power delivery (PD) port. The USB-C PD port is configured to provide a number of output voltages. A power cable is configured to be electrically connected with the USB-C PD port. The power cable is configured to transmit data and at least one output voltage of the numerous output voltages to a peripheral device. A housing is coupled with the cable. The housing includes a USB-C connector configured to be removably coupled with the USB-C PD port to electrically connect the power cable with the USB-C PD port. A control circuit assembly is electrically connected with the housing. The control circuit assembly is configured to negotiate an output voltage of the numerous available output voltages between the peripheral device and the USB-C PD port.

  • Publication number: 20240405581
    Abstract: A portable power apparatus includes a housing, a battery, a first charging port, a second charging port, a first power supply port, a second power supply port, and a communication module. The battery is configured to selectively engage with and selectively disengage from the housing. The first charging port includes at least five pins and is configured to receive a first input voltage. The second charging port is configured to receive a second input voltage that is less than the first input voltage. The first power supply port is configured to deliver a first output voltage. The second power supply port is configured to deliver a second output voltage that is greater than the first output voltage. The communication module is configured to communicate with a source of electrical energy and includes a transmitter configured to communicate that the battery is configured to receive the first input voltage.

  • Patent number: 10841492
    Abstract: In connection with video production equipment, data communication is made available through battery pack ports other than the main power output. This availability enables, regardless of the device being utilized, knowledge as to the attributes and status of the power source of the battery pack and also access to information that may be stored in the battery pack. Auxiliary ports, such as a power tap port and a universal serial bus port, are equipped for establishing data communication between the battery pack and accessory devices.
