  • Publication number: 20250023124
    Abstract: Intelligent lead-acid battery system capable of monitoring a parameter (e.g., voltage, temperature) of one or more battery cells of a lead-acid battery. In one implementation, the battery system includes a housing having a cells compartment, a battery monitoring system (BMS) compartment, and a wall disposed between the cells compartment and the BMS compartment. A first post and a second post are associated with a battery cell. The first post and the second post protrude through the wall between the cells compartment to the BMS compartment. A voltage sensor electrically couples to the first post and the second post to monitor the voltage of the battery cell. A temperature sensor can couple to the first or second or both posts. The intelligent AGM battery system can predict the battery module's state of health, state of charge, module status, power capability, life expectancy, etc.

  • Publication number: 20240243419
    Abstract: Example terminals on a battery cover and example battery covers are described herein. The example terminals provide a more secure connection between a terminal and a connector. Additionally, the example terminals may be shaped such that only specific batteries or battery types can be used with certain vehicles or connectors. The example battery covers may include terminal covers and handles that are integrated into the design of the cover such that a top surface of the cover is planar.

  • Publication number: 20220373394
    Abstract: Battery life cycle management is facilited with distinct visual cues of colors and color-coded combinations. The color-codes enable battery types and characteristics over the course of the life of the battery to be determined. The color-codes are based on a color system that indicates a performance rating of the batteries. A system for managing the color-coded batteries selects color-coded batteries for use based upon color, maintaining color based functionality, and color-coded battery indication for destruction of the battery at the end of its life cycle.
