摘要:
In one embodiment, the invention is a frame for a ride-on vehicle having at least one front wheel, at least one rear wheel, and a plurality of substantially similar battery packs. The frame defines a central plane and includes a front end located adjacent to the front wheel(s), a rear end located adjacent to the rear wheel(s), and a lattice structure that extends substantially between the front end and the rear end. The lattice structure includes a first portion that includes battery pack mounts that secure a first subset of the battery packs arranged in two layers, and includes a second portion that includes battery pack mounts that secure a second subset of the batter packs arranged in a single layer. The lattice structure also defines a truss that mechanically couples the front wheel(s) to the rear wheel(s).

Disclosed is a multi-cell battery pack system with integrated thermal and electrical management that includes a plurality of cells, a plurality of cradles that each define a channel that extends through the length of the cradle and having an external surface that mechanically positions each of the cells radially around and parallel to the channel, that exchanges heat with the cells and that electrically couples with each of the cells, and an endplate that, when the cradle is mechanically coupled to the endplate, the channel of the cradle is connected to a fluid circuit that routes thermally conductive fluid through the channel to exchange heat with the channel and the cells are connected to an electrical circuit.

Disclosed is a multi-cell battery pack system that includes a plurality of cylindrical cells; a cradle with an interior surface that defines a channel extending through the length of the cradle and an exterior surface that mechanically positions each of the cells radially around and parallel to the channel and exchanges heat with the cells by extending around of the circumference of the cylindrical cell and substantially extending between the two opposing end surfaces of the cell; a heat conductor that resides at least partially within the channel and exchanges heat with the interior surface of the cradle; and a heat exchanger that exchanges heat with the heat conductor, wherein the cradle, the heat conductor, and the heat exchanger cooperate to exchange heat between the cells and the heat exchanger.

Disclosed is a method for management of a modular power source including the steps of setting a first operation threshold, selecting a module 10, retrieving data representative of the operating condition of the module 10, retrieving data representative of the time, storing the newly retrieved data, comparing the newly retrieved data to historical data representative of historical operating conditions of the module 10, determining a second operation threshold for the module 10 relative to the comparison, applying the second operation threshold for the module 10, and selecting the next module 10.
