Abstract: Power supply systems for a power tool and power tool systems are provided. A power supply system for a power tool includes a first battery control circuit operable to interface one or more first batteries, the first battery control circuit having a first positive terminal and a first negative terminal. The power supply system further includes a second battery control circuit operable to interface one or more second batteries, the second battery control circuit having a second positive terminal and a second negative terminal. The power supply system further includes a first diode electrically coupled between the first positive terminal and the second negative terminal. The power supply system further includes a second diode electrically coupled between the first negative terminal and the second positive terminal.

Abstract: A walk-behind lawnmower includes a housing including a metal chassis, a handle coupled to the housing by support beams, a battery pack interface configured to receive a battery pack, a motor housed within the housing, a plurality of wheels attached to the housing, one or more cutting blades configured to be driven by the motor, and a skirt coupled to the metal chassis of the housing. The skirt is configured to provide a conductive path to discharge an electrostatic charge accumulated on the metal chassis.

Abstract: Power packs configured to supply power to a common load are provided. A power pack includes a first power source; a second power source; at least one adapter configured to receive the common load and electrically couple the common load to at least one of the first power source or the second power source for supplying power to the common load; a tether interface electrically coupled to the at least one adapter, the first power source, and the second power source and configured to arrange the first power source and the second power source in series or in parallel; and a control circuit comprising at least one controller for performing a plurality of operations.

Abstract: A battery pack assembly configured to supply power to a common load includes a backpack wearable on a back of a user, at least one battery arranged in the backpack and electrically coupled to the common load via a tether, and a communications interface operable between the battery pack and the common load. The communications interface is configured to perform one or more operations, including but not limited to receiving and transmitting operational information to and from the battery pack and the common load, the operational information relating to at least one of the battery pack or the common load.

Abstract: A battery pack configured to supply power to a common load includes at least one battery having a high side battery interface and a low side battery interface. The high side and low side battery interfaces are electrically coupled to the common load. The battery pack further includes a voltage detection circuit assembly configured to perform a plurality of operations, including but not limited to determining whether to implement a hardware trigger on only the high side battery interface by referencing ground of the low side battery interface, detecting a load type of the common load based on whether the high side battery interface is triggered, sending a notification to the high side battery interface and the low side battery interface as to whether the high side battery interface is triggered, and in response to sending the notification, determining whether to allow firmware to operate the common load.

Abstract: An impact tool includes a housing having a motor housing portion and an impact housing portion, an electric motor supported in the motor housing, a battery pack supported by the housing for providing power to the motor; and a drive assembly supported by the impact housing portion. The drive assembly includes an anvil extending from the impact housing portion, a hammer that is both rotationally and axially movable relative to the anvil for imparting consecutive rotational impacts upon the anvil, and a spring for biasing the hammer in an axial direction toward the anvil. The impact tool further includes a boot covering the impact housing portion, a front retainer arranged on the boot, a plurality of lenses in the front retainer, a plurality of LEDs respectively arranged within one of the lenses, and a rear retainer arranged between the boot and the impact housing portion.
