Abstract: Disclosed is a battery preservation device for preventing rapid depletion of battery life of an electronic device. The electronic device includes a heating element. The battery preservation device in the preferred embodiment includes a battery, a charger, a temperature switch, a temperature sensor and a manual switch. In an embodiment, the battery provides power output needed for heat and duration. Further, the battery is placed at a distance from the heating element. The charger regulates the rate that the battery charges and further the charger prevents the battery from overheating. In an embodiment, the temperature switch is programmed to turn on at a pre-defined low temperature and turn off again at a pre-defined high temperature. Further, the temperature switch prevents overheating of the battery. In an embodiment, the temperature sensor is positioned equidistant to the heating element as the battery, the temperature sensor estimates the temperature of the battery. In an embodiment, the manual switch configured with the temperature sensor for allowing the user to switch power between at least one of the heating element; and the temperature switch. The manual switch turns the electronic device on when exposed to cold temperatures and off when exposed to higher temperatures on the action caused by the user. Further, the manual switch prevents rapid depletion of battery life by dissipating the heat.

Abstract: A battery pack assembly or enclosure comprises one or more batteries having an electrochemical cell and an enclosure having at least an outer wall configured to create a sealed volume of space substantially around the batteries. An atmosphere of the volume of space comprises gas having a thermal conductivity less than 0.018 watts per meter per degree Celsius. This atmosphere of gas provides an insulative layer between the outer wall of the enclosure and the batteries. With this insulative layer, the battery pack assembly can be subjected to autoclaving without damaging the batteries. The battery pack assembly can be used to power surgical tools or other devices that are subjected to autoclaving.
