Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for providing intelligent charge handle for charging a vehicle battery are provided. Implementations of the disclosed technology may include a charge handle having: alignment fins to properly align electrical contacts, movement sensors configured to detect when the charge handle has been picked up and to effectuate activation of the charge handle's charging capabilities in response thereto, touch sensors configured to detect a user's touch and to effectuate activation of a light illuminating the path of insertion in response thereto, and/or a multi-stage electrical connector having multiple conductors carrying different signals, where more than one of the multiple conductors is physically accessible via a single aperture in the charge handle housing (e.g. through a faceplate).

Abstract: A charging system may include a plug adapter for receiving a charging current and a processor configured to receive data from the plug adapter. The plug adapter may include a thermal sensor configured to measure temperature associated with the plug adapter. The processor may be configured to decrease the charging current if the temperature measured by the thermal sensor exceeds a first threshold temperature. The processor may be further configured to turn off the charging current if the temperature measured by the thermal sensor exceeds a second threshold temperature.

Abstract: An auto-charging system is disclosed. The system may comprise a base and a set of lower arms. The set of lower arms may comprise a first lower arm and a second lower arm each having a first end and a second end. The first end of the first lower arm may be attached to the base, and the second ends of the first and second lower arms may be attached to a hinge joint. The system may further comprise an upper arm having a first end attached to the hinge joint and a second end, a charger arm having a first end attached to second end of the upper arm and a second end, the set of lower arms, the upper arm, and the charger arm being foldable into the base, and a charger attached to the second end of the charger arm.
