  • Self-discharge for high voltage battery packs
    Patent number: 9614383
    Abstract: A system and method for providing energy management and maintenance of a high energy battery pack through use self-discharge features and processes. A battery pack is configured with self-discharger enabled-components that selectively discharge energy from the battery pack without the battery pack providing operational power.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 4, 2013
    Date of Patent: April 4, 2017
    Assignee: Tesla Motors, Inc.
    Inventors: Brian Stuart Boggs, Joseph Michael Darragh, Anil Paryani, Chuen Chou
  • Method and system for servicing high voltage battery packs
    Patent number: 9466992
    Abstract: A system and method for providing energy management and maintenance of a high energy battery pack that does not require installation of the battery pack into an operational EV. A battery service unit has multiple access mechanisms to charge or discharge a high energy battery pack through a primary or secondary high voltage port of the pack, irrespective of whether the battery pack is installed into an operating environment by adding a capability of providing a signature duplicating installation of the pack in the operating environment when necessary.

  • Secondary service port for high voltage battery packs
    Patent number: 9263901
    Abstract: A system and method for providing energy management and maintenance of a high energy battery pack that does not require installation of the battery pack into an operational EV. A secondary service port is provided to enable certain maintenance operations while by-passing battery pack interlocks and protection mechanisms used when the battery pack is installed into an operating environment.
