    摘要: A battery system includes a plurality of battery cells abutting one another to form a battery cell stack. An optical communication link is connected to each of the plurality of battery cells. A battery management system (BMS) connected to the optical communication link configured and adapted to receive information from the optical communication link. A method of controlling heat transfer in a battery system includes monitoring at least one characteristic of at least one battery cell of a plurality of battery cells with at least one sensor, and sending information from the at least one sensor to a battery management system (BMS) with an optical communication link. The optical communication link is connected to each of the plurality of battery cells. The method includes selectively varying a fluid circulation rate in the battery system with the BMS depending on the at least one characteristic.

    摘要: A battery holder includes a housing and a first cylindrical holder and a second cylindrical holder disposed inside the housing. A first electrical terminal and a second electrical terminal are disposed on an outer surface of the housing. A first electrical conductor is configured to provide a first electrical connection between the first electrical terminal and a first electrical contact inside the first cylindrical holder. A second electrical conductor is configured to provide a second electrical connection between the second electrical terminal and a second electrical contact inside the second cylindrical holder. A cover couples to the housing. A third electrical conductor is disposed on first surface of the cover, wherein the third electrical conductor extends from an area above the first electrical contact to an area above the second electrical contact.

    摘要: Various aspects of the disclosure generally relate to a battery bracket for electronic devices. In one aspect, an electronic component includes a printed circuit board (PCB) having a first and a second battery contact. Connected to the PCB is a battery bracket having a first, a second and a third foot, each foot extending in a first plane. At least one of the feet is connected to the first battery contact. Each of the first, second and third feet are coupled to a first, a second and a third sidewall, respectively.

    摘要: An electronic device includes a housing and a battery holder configured for holding a battery and removably inserted into the housing. A positive terminal and a negative terminal on the side of the battery holder are arranged side by side and a positive terminal and a negative terminal on the side of the housing are arranged side by side. The housing and the battery holder are provided with either a recessed groove extending in an insertion direction in which the battery holder is inserted into the housing or a protrusion extending in the insertion direction, and the recessed groove and the protrusion constitute a guide portion.

    摘要: A dual real-time clock battery power unit may comprise a top battery housing for retaining a first battery, having an exterior fastener arm for partially inserting beneath an exterior fastener lip of a bottom battery housing for retaining a second battery when the top and bottom battery housings are in a closed clamshell configuration. A positive terminal for contacting a second battery positive surface, and a bottom negative terminal for contacting a second battery negative surface may be mounted within the bottom battery housing. A top negative terminal may be mounted within the top battery housing to contact a first battery negative surface. The top and bottom battery housings may be operably connected to form the closed clamshell configuration disposing the bottom battery housing between the top battery housing and a printed circuit board (PCB), and electrically coupling the PCB to the top and bottom batteries, forming a parallel circuit.
