  • Publication number: 20240266664
    Abstract: An adaptable battery management system can comprise a first termination module and a second termination module. The first termination module can include a portion of a control system for the adaptable battery management system and the second termination module can include a second portion of the control system. The first termination module can be located at separate locations in a string of battery modules (e.g., at a high-side and a low side, at a high side and a mid-point side, or at a combined high-side/low side and a mid-point side).

  • Publication number: 20240208361
    Abstract: A microgrid charging system may comprise: a battery system comprising a first plurality of battery modules; a battery management system including a controller in operable communication with the first plurality of battery modules, the controller operable to: receive battery data for each battery module in the first plurality of battery modules including at least one of a discharge frequency, shock and vibration data, battery capacity data; compare the battery data for each battery module in the first plurality of battery modules to an airworthiness standard; and determine whether each battery in the first plurality of battery modules meets the airworthiness standard. The first plurality of battery modules may be cross-compatible with a second plurality of battery modules in an aircraft battery system.

  • Publication number: 20230013123
    Abstract: Electrochemical cell battery system and associated methods of operation are provided based on the incorporation of a thermal suppression construct including a supply of cooling fluid dispensed in intimate contact with the cells disposed within an enveloping sealed enclosure. The electrochemical cells are connected electrically by bus bars to form a battery of cells. The bus bars support cooling by convection methods. The cells are allowed to float mechanically as they are charged and discharged while maintaining intimate thermal contact with the enveloping sealed enclosure through conduction and the bus bars through conduction. The system provides a method of cooling the cells by conduction and convection and that accommodates mechanical changes to both the cells and the enveloping sealed enclosure.
