  • Publication number: 20240075816
    Abstract: Methods and systems for powering a transport refrigeration unit (TRU) via one or more batteries when not connected to shore power are disclosed. The system may include one or more batteries configured to supply a DC battery voltage, an inverter/charger coupled to the one or more batteries and configured to convert the DC battery voltage to an AC output voltage for powering an electric motor coupled to a compressor of the TRU, and an electrical vehicle (EV) charging port coupled to one or more of the one or more batteries and the inverter/charger, the EV charging port configured to receive a charging voltage from an EV charger. In addition, methods and systems for providing supplemental power to a vehicle battery system are disclosed. The system may include one or more batteries and a DC/DC converter coupled to the one or more batteries and the vehicle battery system.

  • Publication number: 20140377596
    Abstract: An electrochemical energy storage system is provided for an application having design energy and power requirements. The electrochemical energy storage system comprises first and second energy storage system components having different electro-chemistries and formed in different units. Said first energy storage system component includes a non-lead-acid battery adapted to provide the energy requirements of the application. Said second energy storage system component includes a lead-acid battery adapted to provide the power requirements of the application. Said first and second energy storage system components have a combined capacity that is less than a capacity of a mono-electrochemical energy storage system adapted to supply both the power and energy requirements of the application.

  • Publication number: 20140186659
    Abstract: A disclosed energy storage system for an application having an energy requirement and a power requirement may include a first component configured to provide the energy requirement of the application and a second component configured to provide the power requirement of the application. At least one of a volume, mass, weight, or cost of the combination of the first component and the second component may be less than a volume, mass, weight, or cost needed for either the first component or the second component to provide the energy requirement and the power requirement of the application. An anode of the second component may comprise lithium titanate.
