  • Publication number: 20250135945
    Abstract: In some implementations, a device may include a cell arrangement that stores energy for operating an energy storage system. In addition, the device may include a display that is positioned at the battery and configured to receive service information from the management system and to display the service information that relates to the cell arrangement such that at least one of a serviceability and condition of the battery is decipherable by viewing the display.

  • Patent number: 11791502
    Abstract: A battery module for use in a battery pack is disclosed. The battery module (12, 12?) comprises a plurality of battery cells (24, 25) and a sensing circuit (62) extending across the battery cells. A monitoring unit (46) is connected to the sensing circuit. The monitoring unit comprises a continuity detector (66) arranged to detect a break in continuity of the sensing circuit (62). This can allow a thermal event occurring in one of the plurality of cells to be detected.

  • Patent number: 9050905
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for securing an electric vehicle from unwanted movement when the electric vehicle is parked. The electric vehicle includes a drive wheel and an electric motor for driving the drive wheel. The method includes the steps of: (a) placing the electric vehicle in an electronic park brake mode; (b) automatically detecting that the electric vehicle is rolling from an initial position; and (c) automatically causing the electric motor to apply a reverse torque to the drive wheel to return the electric vehicle to the initial position or automatically causing the electric motor to lock the drive wheel to inhibit further movement of the electric vehicle.
