A battery for a motor vehicle, in which electrical connections of a plurality of battery cells, are connected by at least one electrically conducting connection element. The battery cells have a galvanic element. The battery cells are connected so that a rated voltage is provided by the battery which is greater than the rated voltage of one of the battery cells. After connecting the electrical connection terminals of at least two battery cells, a switching element of one of the battery cells, arranged between an arrester of the galvanic element and one of the electrical connection terminals, is brought into a switching state in which an electrically conducting connection between an arrester of the galvanic element and at least one of the electrical connection terminals of the battery cell is produced.

Systems, methods, assemblies, and devices for monitoring and controlling a battery notification system for an electric utility vehicle. A battery level and vehicle range may be determined and monitored over time. A notification may be generated including information indicative of the battery level and vehicle range to thereby prevent electrical operations from draining the battery level below a predetermined threshold while the vehicle is parked.

A system and method for controlling charging of a low-voltage battery are provided. The method includes determining a state of charge of the low-voltage battery of a vehicle based on a voltage of the low-voltage battery and determining a state of charge of the low-voltage battery based on a magnitude of consumed power of a low-voltage direct current (DC) converter (LDC) providing charged power to the low-voltage battery during a period in which vehicle start-up is performed. A charged voltage of the low-voltage battery is then set based on a determination result of the state of charge of the low-voltage battery.

An energy storage device for a bicycle includes a housing moveable between at least a first position and a second position, at least one battery cell disposed in the housing, and a heat sink coupled to the housing. The heat sink is in a heat dissipation position when the housing is in the first position and the heat sink is in a non-heat dissipation position when the housing is in the second position. The energy storage device includes a positional sensor coupled to the housing and configured to sense when the housing is in the second position. In various embodiments, the positional sensor may be configured as an orientation sensor or as a proximity sensor. A bicycle communication system may include a Wi-Fi enabled energy storage system.
