Abstract: A battery system for powering an electric vehicle can comprise a plurality of battery modules, each of the plurality of battery modules comprising a housing and a plurality of cells disposed within the housing. A plumbing arrangement include a straight tube disposed between adjacent modules in the plurality of modules. An anchor arrangement for each of the plurality of battery modules can facilitate various mounting configurations for each respective battery module. An exhaust system for the battery system can be reconfigurable with a 1:1 vent tube to module ratio. Custom adapters can be configured for mounting airframer exhaust systems to each of the plurality of battery modules.

Abstract: A debris capture device for use in a battery system includes a housing and a baffle arrangement. The baffle arrangement is sized and configured to capture debris that is greater than a threshold weight (e.g., 10 grams) and/or greater than a threshold size (e.g.; 0.25 inches (0.635 cm)) to prevent the debris from being exhausted out an exhaust system of the battery system. The present disclosure relates generally to thermal runaway debris capture systems, devices, and methods, and more specifically, to thermal runway capture devices for use in aviation systems.

Abstract: A battery module comprises a first electrical connector assembly disposed opposite a second electrical connector assembly. The first electrical connector assembly of a first of the battery module is configured to electrically and physically couple the second electrical connector assembly of a second of the battery module.

Abstract: A charging ecosystem may comprise: an interconnected battery module; a first battery system comprising a first plurality of the interconnected battery modules; and a second battery system comprising a second plurality of the interconnected battery module. The first battery system may be configured for charging the second battery system. The second battery system may be configured for powering an electric vehicle. The interconnected battery module is adaptable to various interfaces with the first system and the second system.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a hydrogen powered working vehicle. Advantageously, the hydrogen-powered working vehicle of the present disclosure is designed to enable existing chassis designs for diesel-powered working vehicles to be re-purposed for use in hydrogen powered working vehicles while still affording adequate lateral airflow and protection to components of the hydrogen powered working vehicle.

Abstract: An interconnected battery module comprises an enclosure and a plurality of cells. The interconnected battery module may be configured to be electrically and physically coupled to an adjacent interconnected battery module without wires or wiring harnesses. A battery system with the interconnected battery modules may manage a thermal runaway event within one of the interconnected battery modules by preventing propagation to a remainder of interconnected battery modules.

Abstract: An exciter circuit for a gas turbine engine delivers a first single high-energy spark followed by subsequent sparks of relatively lower energy to ensures start reliability by specifically clearing ice build-up at the ignition plugs.
