Abstract: A battery pack that includes a housing. The housing includes a support portion that is configured to removably connect to a device, such as a cordless, hand-held power tool. The battery pack is configured to electrically and/or communicatively connect to the device through at least one terminal. The at least one terminal can include a battery positive power terminal, a battery negative power terminal, and a communications terminal. In some embodiments, at least one of the terminals of the battery pack is positioned at a first depth level within the support portion and at least one of the terminals of the battery pack is positioned at a second depth level within the support portion. The battery pack includes a first distance between the first depth level and the second depth level (e.g., approximately 0.5 inches).

Abstract: Systems and methods for remote power tool control are provided. In one example, a battery pack is coupled to a power tool device. The battery pack includes a pack transceiver and a pack electronic processor. The pack electronic processor is coupled to the pack transceiver and is configured to determine that the power tool device is remotely controllable. The pack electronic processor is further configured to receive, wirelessly via a pack transceiver of the battery pack, a remote control command from a mobile device, and to provide the remote control command to the power tool device. The system further includes a tool electronic processor of the power tool device in communication with the pack electronic processor. The tool electronic processor is configured to control the power tool device to perform an action specified by the remote control command in response to receiving the remote control command.

Abstract: A battery pack including a housing, a plurality of battery cells located within the housing, a current limiting circuit, a first battery pack terminal, and a second battery pack terminal. The housing includes a battery pack support portion configured to removably connect the battery pack to a device. The first battery pack terminal is configured to electrically connect the battery pack to the device and is connected to at least one battery cell of the plurality of battery cells. The second battery pack terminal is configured to electrically connect the battery pack to the device and is connected to the current limiting circuit. Wherein the battery pack outputs a first discharge current, via the first battery pack terminal, for a primary operation, and outputs a second discharge current, via the second battery pack terminal, for a secondary operation.

Abstract: A device that includes a controller having a processing unit and a memory. The device includes an enable circuit. The enable circuit prevents the device from operating (e.g., discharging current and/or receiving charging current) until the enable circuit is activated. The enable circuit includes an activation component (e.g., a near-field communication [“NFC”] circuit). The activation component is configured or operable to cause the device to become enabled when the activation component is activated by an external enabling device.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a battery pack that includes a housing and a plurality of battery cells. The housing includes a support portion that is configured to removably connect to a device, such as a cordless, hand-held power tool. The battery pack is configured to electrically and/or communicatively connect to a device through at least one terminal. The at least one terminal can include a high-current discharge terminal and a common ground terminal. The battery pack is also configured to electrically and/or communicatively connect to device through a low-current discharge terminal and the common ground terminal. A current limiting circuit is connected between the plurality of battery cells and the low-current discharge terminal to limit the discharge current from the low-current discharge terminal. Both the high-current discharge terminal and the low-current discharge terminal provide the same value for output voltage (e.g., 18V).
