Abstract: A battery pack is configured to supply electric power to an electric work machine, such as a power tool or outdoor power equipment. The battery pack includes a first battery-signal terminal and a second battery-signal terminal. The first battery-signal terminal outputs, to the electric work machine, a first signal indicating that discharging is to be prohibited or permitted. The second battery-signal terminal outputs, to the electric work machine, a second signal indicating that discharging is to be prohibited or permitted. Thus, two communication paths are provided for transmitting signals to permit or prohibit discharging of the battery pack.

Abstract: A battery pack according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes an attaching portion, a battery, a voltage detection circuit, a current acquisition circuit, a next current calculation circuit, a first charging stop circuit, and a second charging stop circuit. The attaching portion is electrically and mechanically connected to the battery charger. The first charging stop circuit stops charging of the battery in response to a first condition being satisfied. The second charging stop circuit stops the charging of the battery in response to a second condition different from the first condition being satisfied.

Abstract: A battery pack in one aspect of the present disclosure includes a battery and a controller provided with a counter value. During discharge of the battery pack, the controller calculates an addition value in accordance with a total number of use of the battery pack under a specified condition. The controller updates the counter value by adding the addition value. The controller prohibits the discharge of the battery pack in response to the counter value reaching a protection threshold.

Abstract: A battery pack includes a battery, a coupling portion, a connection determiner, a receiver, and a prohibition range controller. The prohibition range controller varies a prohibition range depending on the connection or non-connection of the electric work machine that is determined by the connection determiner, or the specification of the electric work machine connected to the coupling portion. The prohibition range is defined by a current range and a voltage range. A discharge from the battery is prohibited in the prohibition range.

Abstract: A battery pack (60), which is rechargeable by a charger (600), includes one or more battery cells (60), a control part (620), a communication part (620, 400, 15), and a switching-control part (620). The control part is configured to be switchable to any of a plurality of operation states, including a controlled-operation state and a low-power operation state. The switching-control part: compares a communication-stop time (Ta1) to a state-switching determination value (Tth1); does not switch the operation state of the control part if the communication-stop time is less than or equal to the state-switching determination value; and does switch the operation state of the control part to the low-power operation state if the communication-stop time exceeds the state-switching determination value, whereby power consumption of the control part can be reduced upon completion, e.g., of a charging operation.
