    Abstract: An energy storage device includes a battery box, an electrical box, and an air duct assembly. The battery box includes a first box body, a plurality of battery cells, and a thermal management assembly, where the plurality of battery cells and the thermal management assembly are accommodated in the first box body, and the thermal management assembly is configured to provide a heat transfer gas. The electrical box is arranged alongside the battery box. The electrical box includes a second box body and an electrical assembly disposed in the second box body. The electrical assembly is electrically connected to the battery cells to exercise electrical control on the battery box. At least a part of air ducts of the air duct assembly is located between the first box body and the second box body to separate the first box body from the second box body.

    Abstract: A temperature controlled enclosure that includes a temperature control device for controlling the temperature within an internal cavity of the temperature controlled enclosure. The temperature controlled enclosure also includes one or more charging ports for receiving and charging a battery pack. A controller within the temperature controlled enclosure controls the temperature within the internal cavity to a predetermined or desired temperature (e.g., 20° C.). When a battery pack is received in the one or more charging ports, the temperature of the battery pack can be determined. If, for example, the temperature of the battery pack is below 0° C., the battery pack is allowed to warm up inside the temperature controlled enclosure before the battery pack is charged.

    Abstract: Heating of an image capture apparatus battery to an operational temperature using an attached heater device is described. The image capture apparatus includes an image capture apparatus battery configured to functionally operate at a first operational temperature. The heater device includes a heater device battery configured to operate at a second operational temperature lower than the first operational temperature. A heater controller is implemented in one of the image capture apparatus or the heater device. The heater controller is configured to initiate a heating process based on a first defined event, set a current level of the heater device, maintain or adjust the current level of the heater device until a second defined event, and display an indication that the image capture apparatus can detect, capture, or record an image based on the image capture apparatus battery attaining the first operational temperature.

    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include systems, vehicles, and computer-implemented methods for maintaining the operational condition of a battery system incorporated in a vehicle or otherwise stored and, based on weather information, to adjust reserve capacity in the battery system prevent damage as a result of weather conditions. In an illustrative embodiment, a system includes a communications interface configured to communicate with a weather information source over a network to receive data on anticipated weather conditions; and a battery controller configured to interoperate with the communications interface and to control a reserve capacity level for a battery system, wherein the battery controller is configured to: determine whether the reserve capacity level is sufficient to maintain operational condition of the battery system under the anticipated weather conditions; and modify the reserve capacity level responsive to a determination that the reserve capacity level is sufficient to maintain the operational condition of the battery system.
