Abstract: Provided is a modular, scalable and decentralized high voltage battery system that employs signaling and communications between battery modules of the system without a central battery management controller. Via signaling mechanisms, the individual battery modules of the system can perform precharging, discharging, charging, and safety functions in a manner that is extensible regardless of a number of battery modules in the system in series and parallel and in a manner that does not require significant operator intervention.

Abstract: An explosion-proof valve electrical disconnect assembly incorporates a vent valve contact disk which seals the can of a compact electrochemical cell and which faces a juxtaposed stripper contact disk welded at the center by a weld nugget at a weld point, forming a rigid, preferably increased thickness, mass. The underlying stripper contact disk is weakened about the weld point, surrounding the weld nugget to ensure pull-through of the stripper contact disk portion immediately adjacent to the weld connection to effect initial electrical separation of the two contact disks. Subsequent rupture of the vent valve contact disk releases high pressure gas internally from the cell. A semi-rigid assembly cup may support a rigid grommet functioning to sandwich the vent valve contact disk and the stripper contact disk facilitated by crimping of the can top about a deformable L-shaped cross-section annular assembly cup. A current responsive PTC element forms a second circuit breaker independent of the first mechanical circuit breaker formed by the two contact disks.
