摘要:
A charge port lock assembly for use with a charge receptacle on a vehicle having a rechargeable battery. The charge port lock assembly may include an actuator assembly including an actuator energizable to retract the post to a retracted position and to move to an extended rest position and a partially retracted rest position; a charge port door that covers the charge receptacle and a has a door ejection spring; a charge door lock assembly that releases the charge port door when the post is in the fully retracted position and retains the charge port door in the closed position when the post is in the other positions; a cord lock assembly that retains a charge cord assembly in the charge receptacle when the post is in the extended rest position and releases the charge cord assembly in the other positions. The controller energizes the actuator.

摘要:
A charge management system and method, within a vehicle having a battery and generation subsystem, is disclosed which senses the temperature of electrolyte in the cells of the vehicle battery and the voltage across the terminals of the battery. The voltage indicates the probability of the existence of excess electrical capacity from the vehicle generation subsystem. In response to a cold temperature and excess power, the system uses the excess power of the vehicle generation subsystem to heat the battery to a desired level. Once the battery reaches the desired temperature level, the system dicontinues the heating of the battery. In the event that there is not excess power, then the system, by maintaining the battery heating element in an off position, does not interfere with the charging of the battery.

An electrical charging system is provided, and includes a voltage supply and a conductive coupling element. The conductive coupling element includes a pilot circuit, a resistance element, a light-emitting diode (“LED”), and a switching element. The pilot circuit has a primary control contact and a ground contact. The pilot circuit is configured to be in communication with and receive voltage from the voltage supply. The pilot circuit is configured for supplying a control pilot voltage. The resistance element is electrically connected to the ground contact. The resistance element includes a resistance value. The LED is electrically connected to the resistance element and the ground contact, and has a forward voltage drop. The switching element is actuated to selectively connect the resistance element and the LED element to the primary control contact.
