  • Patent number: 4689531
    Abstract: Apparatus and method providing electrical regeneration in an electrical vehicle. An electric drive motor drives the vehicle and is powered from a bank of drive battery packs. An electric recharge motor drives a plurality of generators to recharge all of the batteries. The recharge motor is powered from a bank of recharge battery packs. Drive battery packs are paired together with recharge battery packs. A timer switch opens and closes electrical contact between each pair of battery packs and its corresponding electric motor, one pair at a time. Thus, a drive battery pack powers the electric drive motor while a recharge battery pack powers the electric recharge motor. Non-connected battery packs are recharged by the plurality of generators. The timer switch sequentially switches through all pairs of battery packs in such a fashion that each pair of battery packs is recharged for a longer period of time than it is discharged.
