Patent number: 11581607Abstract: A battery system with a passive thermal management system is formed from a plurality of battery cells arranged on a printed circuit board assembly. In some cases, the printed circuit board assembly may include a flexible printed circuit board that is folded along an axis forming an upper and lower portion of the printed circuit board assembly. The thermal management system may include fire-blocking foam members individually attached to each battery cell. The battery cells may be arranged in a grid-like pattern to allow for a spacing arrangement between the battery cells to keep a failing battery cell from negatively affecting an adjacent battery cell. In addition, the flexible printed circuit card may include a fuse for each battery cell to shut off any current flow to a faulty battery cell if it begins to fail causing current flow to exceed beyond a predetermined current limit. The battery system may be a conformal wearable battery.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2021Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Inventus Power, Inc.Inventors: Elijah Brett Goldin, Ilyas Ayub, William Mark Batts, Timothy James Vallaro, Daniel Paul Rose

Patent number: 11477885Abstract: A housing of a conformal wearable battery (CWB) encloses a plurality of battery cells arranged in a grid-like pattern and electrically connected to a printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB includes an electrical connection pad that is electrically coupled to a positive terminal of a battery cell of the plurality of battery cells and a positive conductive region receiving electrical energy from one or more of the plurality of battery cells. A redundant trace fuse circuit is formed on the PCB to facilitate electrical connection of the electrical connection pad and the positive conductive region. The redundant trace fuse circuit includes a first fusible link for electrically connecting the first electrical connection pad to the positive conductive region and a second fusible link that is selectively enabled to electrically connect the first electrical connection pad to the positive conductive region when the first fusible link is inoperative.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2021Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: Inventus Power, Inc.Inventors: Michael M. Zhang, Christopher Michael Reinke, Ilyas Ayub, William Mark Batts, Timothy James Vallaro, Elijah Brett Goldin, Anvin Joe Manadan

Patent number: 11349174Abstract: A matrix of battery cell modules includes a flexible printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) for a conformal wearable battery (CWB) with a plurality of attachment sections for each of a plurality of battery cells that are arranged in a grid-like pattern on a same side of the flexible PCBA. Each battery cell may be joined with a flexible PCB via a welding process. The flexible PCBA is configured to fold along a bend axis so that the flexible PCBA is folded approximately in half. When affixed to the flexible PCBA, the plurality of battery cell modules and a circuitry module form a grid of physical components. When folded, the flexible PCBA forms a three-dimensional grid of physical components comprising at least the battery cell modules.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2020Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: Inventus Power, Inc.Inventors: Ilyas Ayub, William Mark Batts, Timothy James Vallaro, Elijah Brett Goldin, Anvin Joe Manadan
