    Abstract: An intelligent battery system and methods for making and using the same are provided. The intelligent battery system can halve a pack of cells and a battery management system. (“BMS”) for providing secondary protection for the pack of cells. The pack of cells can comprise cells with operating parameters such as capacities, voltages, currents, charge/discharge rates and/or lifecycles that are uniform, or different, among the cells. The BMS can comprise a gas gauge, a microcontroller and a MOS switch circuit for managing the pack of cells and providing the secondary protection based on chemical characteristics of the cells and operating parameters of the cells. The intelligent battery system advantageously can include cells that are replaceable. For purposes of storage and/or transportation an of the cells can be dissembled and assembled without affecting the capacity and performance of the intelligent battery.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices of managing a battery assembly used to power an object are provided to discharge a battery assembly for a safe and long-term storage. A controlled self-discharge of the battery assembly may be initiated when the power to the object is turned off for a certain length of time or the battery assembly is not in use for a threshold length of time. The controlled self-discharge may be terminated if the battery assembly reaches a threshold voltage value or the battery is in use again during the self-discharge.

    Abstract: An electrical connector is provided for both power and data transmission. The electrical connector comprises an electrical plug (100) having a plurality of pins (131˜138) and an electrical socket (200) having a plurality of passageways (220) which are arranged corresponding to the plurality of pins (131˜138). The pins (131˜138) of the plug comprise at least one signal pin (131, 136), two or more positive power pins (133, 134) and two or more negative power pins (132, 135). The pins (131˜138) of the plug can be disposed such that the positive power pins (133, 134) and the at least one signal pin (131, 136) are positioned on opposite sides of the negative power pins (132, 135).

    Abstract: Methods and systems for forming and changing electrical connections between a plurality of batteries (1041˜2046, 2041˜2046, 3041˜3046, 6041, 6043˜6046, 8041, 8043, 8044, 8046) within a battery assembly (100, 200, 300, 600, 800) are provided to balance the battery properties. The batteries (1041˜2046, 2041˜2046, 3041˜3046, 6041, 6043˜6046, 8041, 8043, 8044, 8046) having similar properties may be grouped into one battery pack, and an adjustment to existence of electrical connections between the plurality of batteries (1041˜2046, 2041˜2046, 3041˜3046, 6041, 6043˜6046, 8041, 8043, 8044, 8046) may be enabled while the battery assembly (100, 200, 300, 600, 800) is powering the object.
