  • Publication number: 20220037743
    Abstract: A battery pack including a housing; and two or more battery cells located in the housing. The two or more battery cells interconnected by a configurable connector which is configured to enable electrical connections between the two or more battery cells. The configurable connector contains a plurality of first electrical terminals connected to the two or more battery cells, and a terminal holder adapted to be removably connected to the plurality of the first electrical terminals. The terminal holder is adapted to be installed to the housing in a first orientation at which the two or more battery cells are electrically connected, or in a second orientation at which the two or more battery cells are not electrically connected. The terminal holder contains a plurality of second electrical terminals.

  • Patent number: 11196095
    Abstract: A battery pack containing a frame; and two or more battery cells installed to the frame. The two or more battery cells are interconnected by a configurable connector which is configured to enable electrical connections between the two or more battery cells. The configurable connector is adapted to be configured in a first status or a second status. In the first status, the two or more battery cells are electrically connected, and in the second status, the two or more battery cells are not electrically connected. The battery pack is not fully operational without the terminal holder inserted, therefore before it is delivered to the end user the energy loss due to self-discharging during storage and shipping can be minimized.

  • Patent number: 10950830
    Abstract: A battery pack (20), which includes: a housing; a frame disposed inside the housing; and two or more cells (32) mounted to the frame. The two or more cells (32) are connected with each other through a configurable connector (52). The configurable connector (52) is suitable to connect or disconnect an electrical connection between the two or more cells (32). Wherein the configurable connector (52) includes a user contactable switch (22) located on an outer surface (21) of the housing. The user contactable switch (22) is configured to move within a plane parallel to the outer surface (21), such that the contactable connector (52) is switched between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the electrical connection exists between the two or more cells (32); in the second state, the electrical connection does not exist between the two or more cells (32).

  • Publication number: 20210050565
    Abstract: A battery pack comprising a frame and two or more battery cells installed to the frame. The two or more battery cells are interconnected by a rotatable connector which is configured to enable electrical connections between the two or more battery cells. The rotatable connector is adapted to be switched between at least a first rotational position in which the two or more battery cells being electrically connected, and a second rotational position, in which the two or more battery cells being not electrically connected.
