A surgical system comprises a handpiece and a battery. The handpiece includes a body, a handpiece controller, and a handpiece connector with a first coupler, a handpiece voltage terminal, and a handpiece data terminal. The battery has a housing, a cell, a battery controller, and a battery connector with a second coupler to rotatably engage the first coupler, a battery voltage terminal, and a battery data terminal. The second coupler receives the first coupler at an initial radial position and permits rotation to a first secured radial position and a second secured radial position. Rotation from the initial radial position to the first secured radial position engages the voltage terminals to transmit power between the cell and the handpiece controller, and rotation to the second secured radial position engages the data terminals to communicate data between the controllers while maintaining engagement between the voltage terminals.

A battery connector including a conductive plate configured to contact a first battery and a second battery so as to electrically connect the first battery and the second battery to each other, an upper fixer configured to be coupled the first battery, and a lower fixer configured to be coupled to the second battery.

A zinc-air charger having a case defining a plurality of pass core vents, and an internal case cavity; a plurality of zinc-air cells that are electrically coupled and disposed within the internal case cavity; a coupling plug configured to couple with and provide electrical power generated by the plurality of zinc-air cells to a device that is separate from the zinc-air charger; and a system configured to: output electrical power generated by the plurality of zinc-air cells to the device; identify a state of the plurality of zinc-air cells, determine, based at least in part on the identified state of the plurality of zinc-air cells, that one or more of the plurality of zinc-air cells are air-starved, and in response to determining that the one or more of the plurality of zinc-air cells are air-starved, generate a power cut-off for a period of time that ceases electrical power output to the device.

A cell module includes a plurality of battery cells each having a safety valve at a first end in a height direction, a first current collector plate including a main body having a through hole that at least partly overlaps the safety valve when viewed along the height direction and a lead extending into the through hole from the main body and being electrically connected to a first terminal of each of the battery cells, an exhaust duct disposed over a surface of the first current collector plate remote from the battery cells, and an insulating film being made of an insulating material and covering an area of the first current collector plate facing the exhaust duct. The safety valve opens when an internal pressure of any of the battery cells reaches or exceeds a predetermined level.

The present disclosure provides a battery module, including a first battery cell arrangement structure, a second battery cell arrangement structure and a bus bar array. With battery cells stacked in a horizontal direction, a first battery cell arrangement structure and a second battery cell arrangement structure are stacked in a vertical direction, and a first bus bar of a bus bar array is used to sequentially connect the battery cells of the first battery cell arrangement structure and the second battery cell arrangement structure. As a result, a total positive electrode and a total negative electrode of a battery module are located at two ends of the battery module, which greatly reduces the possibility of a short circuit of the battery module and improves the safety of the battery module.
