The assembly includes, in a connector assembly box, a battery connecting connector removably connected to a battery side connector having a plurality of terminals to be connected to the battery a vehicle connecting connector removably connected to a vehicle side connector having a plurality of terminals to be connected to the electric work vehicle and a charger connecting connector removably connected to a charger side connector provided in a charger for charging power supplied from an external power source to the battery and having a plurality of terminals.

The present invention is a wireless HVIL system and method using RFID-enabled Electrical Connector with connector position assurance (“CPA”) features. Each RFID-enabled Electrical Connector has an RFID tag that is only readable after the CPA features of the RFID-enabled Electrical Connector have been fully deployed. If a CPA feature has not been fully deployed, electrically conductive material will obscure the RFID tag so that it cannot be read. At least one RFID reader is distributed so that all of the RFID tags are within its effective range. When system power is cycled on, the at least one RFID reader emits a digital pulse and reads all of the non-obscured RFID tags. If the at least one RFID reader detects all of the expected RFID tags, an HVIL processor will shut an HVIL switch, and power will be supplied to all HV devices.

A cable system includes a sensor connection segment (SCS), a computer connection segment (CCS), and a radio connection segment (RCS). The SCS includes a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) and a sensor connection cable for connecting the PCBA to a host sensor system. The PCBA includes hardware and software for providing an embedded web server as part of the cable system. The PCBA can send sensor data over a radio network or receive firmware and calibration updates using the RCS and the CCS, respectively.
