Abstract: A battery carrier apparatus includes a carrier housing, a plurality of compartments, at least one wheel, a control circuit and a status monitoring circuit. The carrier housing is configured to hold multiple battery modules. The plurality of compartments are disposed within the carrier housing. Each compartment is configured for detachably installing a respective battery module. The compartments provide secure housing for the battery modules. At least one wheel is disposed on the carrier housing. The wheel facilitates movement of the carrier housing allowing for transportation of the carrier housing. The control circuit is responsible for managing an operation of the battery modules installed in the compartments. The status monitoring circuit is coupled to the control circuit. The status monitoring circuit detects a status of the installed battery modules and communicates the status to the control circuit for determining a control behavior to manage the battery modules accordingly.

Abstract: A gardening apparatus includes a tool device and a battery module. The battery module is coupled to the tool device for supplying power to drive the tool device. The battery module includes a housing with a receiving cavity, at least one battery cell disposed within the receiving cavity, a power management module electrically connected to the at least one battery cell and at least one power interface electrically connected to the power management module and accessible from outside the housing. The power management module is configured to control power flow between the at least one battery cell and the at least one power interface.
