A warning system and a warning method for a motor vehicle having a high-voltage battery. The warning system includes a battery housing having the high-voltage battery, an underride protection device, a spatially closed cavity, at least one pressure sensor, and an evaluation device. The spatially closed cavity is arranged in a vertical direction of the warning system above the underride protection device and below the battery housing and is designed to change a volume of the cavity upon a deformation of the underride protection device under the action of a predetermined external force on the underride protection device. The at least one pressure sensor is designed to detect a pressure change value that describes a change in pressure in the pressure in the cavity.

A battery apparatus for a vehicle of the present disclosure includes a battery module including a plurality of battery cells having a battery cell, a surface of which includes powder coated thereon, a cooling path which is positioned under the battery module and into which a gas generated from the powder is introduced when the surface of the batter cell reaches a specific temperature, an outlet duct which is connected to the cooling path and discharges the gas introduced from the cooling path to an outside through an outlet port, a gas sensor which is installed in the outlet duct and detects the gas introduced into the outlet duct to generate a gas detection result, a vehicle controller which receives the gas detection result and processes the gas detection result into information indicating a possibility of thermal runaway of the battery cell, and a peripheral device which receives the processed information and outputs the possibility of the thermal runaway of the battery cell as visual information or auditory information.

A battery safety system includes a flow valve and a sensing device. The flow valve is disposed on a housing of the battery and includes a first valve that is embedded inside the housing and a second valve that intersects the housing. The first valve includes a cavity through which analytes released upon electrochemical reactions within the battery flow towards the second valve. The second valve extends through the housing to the outside, and defines an opening through which the released analytes exit the housing. The sensing device is disposed within the cavity of the first valve of the valve and is situated in a manner to be in fluidic contact with the released analytes as they flow from the inside of the battery to the outside. In some aspects, the battery safety system can detect a minute presence of one or more analytes. In some aspects, the sensor is in communication with a battery management system.

A battery pack to be used in motorized furniture is provided. The battery pack includes a plurality of polymer cells. The plurality of polymer cells is connected such that a threshold voltage is achieved. The battery pack also includes a motherboard coupled to the plurality of polymer cells. The motherboard is configured to monitor and regulate each cell in the plurality of cells, as well as the entire plurality of cells as a whole. The motherboard is further configured to regulate power flow throughout the plurality of cells such that more than two motors may operate at the same time.

A method for determining an electrolyte level in electrochemical cells of a battery or of a plurality of batteries, said method comprising the steps of: a) providing one battery or a plurality of batteries, each battery comprising a container having at least one wall; each battery consisting of one or several electrochemical cells; b) recording an image of the infrared radiations emitted by the wall and by the electrolyte through the wall of the battery or in case of a plurality of batteries recording an image of the infrared radiations emitted by the walls and by the electrolyte through the walls of the plurality of batteries; c) processing the image to locate in each electrochemical cell a boundary between two zones exhibiting a temperature difference thereby determining the electrolyte level in each electrochemical cell.

Provided herein are systems, methods and apparatuses for a battery powered electroplating barrel and methods of use.

A power station assembly includes two inverter power stations configured to provide respective power outputs at a voltage and at respective currents. The power station assembly additionally includes a linking module configured to electrically connect to the two inverter power stations to receive the respective power outputs therefrom, combine the respective power outputs into a combined power output, and provide the combined power output to a load.

Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a device for detecting a defect of an arrangement including a battery housing and a battery cell. An example includes: a first sensor for a gas component within the battery housing; a second gas for the at least one gas component outside the battery housing; and a control apparatus receiving the signals. The control apparatus identifies a defect in the arrangement if the presence and/or a content of the gas component within the battery housing exceeds a predetermined first content threshold value and the absence and/or a content of the gas component outside the battery housing falls below a predetermined second content threshold value.

Disclosed is an intelligent battery cell system (iBCS) comprising a battery cell, a battery monitoring system (BMS) integrated with the battery cell, and a housing. The BMS is both in signal communication with and physically attached to the battery cell within the housing and the BMS includes a processor and a memory, where the memory has a machine-readable medium having encoded thereon machine-executable instructions that cause the processor to perform one or more process steps in the operation of the BMS.
