  • Heating assemblies and systems for rechargeable batteries
    Patent number: 9431687
    Abstract: Heating assemblies for one or more rechargeable batteries include a flexible heating element positionable about the one or more rechargeable batteries, a temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature adjacent the one or more rechargeable batteries, and a control circuit configured to receive the sensed temperature from the temperature sensor. The control circuit is configured to connect the charger to the flexible heating element for allowing power to flow from the charger to the flexible heating element in response to the sensed temperature adjacent the one or more rechargeable batteries falling below a defined threshold temperature. The temperature sensor is adjacent the flexible heating element. The flexible heating element is configured to receive power from a charger that is operable for charging the one or more rechargeable batteries. Systems including the one or more heating assemblies are also disclosed.
