The stretchable electronic unit is arrangeable at least at one of the energy storage cells. The stretchable electronic unit is configured to generate data based on strain applied on the stretchable electronic unit. The communication element is integrated in the stretchable electronic unit and configured to transfer data generated by the stretchable electronic unit.

A battery pack includes a housing, a plurality of rechargeable battery cells, a connection interface, a near-field communication (NFC) reader, a battery management system, and a communication gateway. The connection interface is in communication includes a plurality of data pins, a positive terminal, and a negative terminal. The battery management system is in communication with the NFC reader and is configured to receive information from the NFC reader including an NFC tag identification, then retrieve stored parameters corresponding to the NFC tag identification, and configure at least one of the plurality of data pins based upon the stored parameters corresponding to the NFC tag identification.

A charging device wiredly transmits identification information to a power storage pack after the power storage pack is mounted. The power storage pack transmits via near-field communication a signal including the identification information received from the charging device. The charging device collates whether or not the identification information included in the received signal matches the identification information wiredly transmitted.

A first power storage pack wiredly transmits identification information retained in the first power storage pack to a charging device when the first power storage pack is detached from an electric movable body. The charging device wiredly transmits the identification information received from the first power storage pack to a second power storage pack. The controller of the second power storage pack transmits via near-field communication a signal including the identification information received from the charging device. The electric movable body collates whether or not the identification information included in the received signal matches the identification information retained in the first power storage pack.

A disclosed battery management system for wireless charging includes a communication circuit and a controller. The communication circuit receives information on a first state of charge (SOC) of the first battery module, a second SOC of the second battery module, and a third SOC of the third battery module. The controller controls the first wireless charging between the first battery module and the second battery module and the second wireless charging between the second battery module and the third battery module for balancing between the first SOC, the second SOC, and the third SOC. The first wireless charging is to wirelessly transmit power from one of the first battery module and the second battery module to the other battery module. The second wireless charging is to wirelessly transmit power from one of the second battery module and the third battery module to the other battery module.

A battery charging system includes a battery removably mounted on an electric power device using electric power, a charging device configured to charge the battery using renewable power which is electric power generated from renewable energy, and a server configured to communicate with the charging device. The charging device is configured to control charging of the battery accommodated in an accommodation unit on the basis of reception information received from the server. The server is configured to compare receivable power, which is the renewable power capable of being received by the charging device, with a threshold value and configured to transmit transmission information for causing the charging device to control the charging of the battery to the charging device on the basis of a result of comparing the receivable power with the threshold value.

Examples described herein describe a battery charger for a transaction card. According to some implementations, a charging device may detect a transaction card is received within a charging slot when an integrated circuit (IC) chip of the transaction card is in contact with a charging terminal; request a user device to provide power to charge the transaction card via the charging terminal, wherein the user device is communicatively coupled to the charging terminal; receive the power from the user device; and provide the power to the transaction card to charge a battery of the transaction card.

An electronic device includes a display module including a first region exposed to an outside in first and second modes and a second region extending from the first region, where the second region is partially opposite to the first region in the first mode or is partially exposed in the second mode, the second region includes a curved region in the first mode and a flat region extending from the curved region and opposite to the first region, a supporting member disposed below the display module, a case which contains the display module and the supporting member, where the first and second modes are determined based on a sliding motion of the case, and a wireless charging coil which is contained in the case and shielded by the supporting member in the first mode, and does not overlap the supporting member in the second mode.

Provided is a control device for controlling a storage battery. The control device includes a communication unit and a control unit. The communication unit communicates with the storage battery in a wired or wireless manner. The control unit controls the communication unit to send a control signal, to the storage battery, that causes the storage battery to operate in a first mode or a second mode. The first mode is a mode in which the width of changes over time in power bought or sold by a power control system connected to the storage battery is controlled to stay within a prescribed range. The second mode is mode in which the width of changes over time in power charged to or discharged from the storage battery is controlled to stay within a prescribed range.

An embodiment wireless charging vehicle includes a secondary charging pad configured to generate an induced current by a magnetic field generated to a primary charging pad of a wireless charging station and to charge a battery, a plurality of ultra-wideband (UWB) tags disposed to surround the vehicle, and a UWB controller configured to perform a wireless charging arrangement mode for arranging the secondary charging pad on the primary charging pad by using a sensor value measured by the UWB tags, wherein the UWB controller is configured to calculate a coordinate of the primary charging pad by using a line of sight (LOS) sensor value of a UWB tag having a line of sight from among the UWB tags.
