A battery system for providing electric power to a boat includes a hard deck that includes a plurality of interconnected battery panels and output power connectors. Each of the battery panels includes an array of interconnected battery cells. A connection plate receives recessed edges of adjacent battery panels and interconnect cables connect battery terminals of the adjacent battery panels.

A robust, durable, easy to use, reusable shipping container is disclosed that is capable of protecting contents from surrounding high temperatures up to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit for a minimum of at least three and a half hours. The container includes an inner chamber surrounded by an outer chamber. A phase change liquid (PCL) is sequestered in a porous support matrix contained in the inner chamber, while the outer chamber is filled with high temperature insulation, forming an outer barrier layer that is designed to reduce heat flux into the inner chamber.

According to an example, a plurality of battery modules may be dimensioned to fit within a form factor.

An embodiment of the present invention provides an electrode assembly in which a plurality of electrode tabs is made more compact inside an exterior case and a secondary battery using the same. An electrode assembly according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: a plurality of first plates of a first polarity; a plurality of second plates of a second polarity alternately arranged with the first plates; at least one of a plurality of first tabs or a plurality of second tabs extending from the first plates or the second plates, respectively, the at least one of the plurality of first tabs or the plurality of second tabs being together wound or bent more than once; a plurality of separators interposed between the first plates and the second plates; and a lead physically coupled to at least one of the first tabs or the second tabs.

A method and a container for secure enclosing and secure transport of an accumulator, in particular a lithium ion accumulator, includes a cover, a base plate and a rail.

A thin film battery package includes: a case having an open top side and defining a predetermined space therein, wherein the case has one side at which first and second electrodes formed of a metal material are exposed and electrically connected to the outside; a battery block on which a plurality of unit batteries are stacked so that the plurality of unit batteries is electrically connected between a first terminal and a second terminal, wherein the battery block is seated within the case so that the first and second terminals of the unit battery disposed at one end thereof are electrically connected to the first and second electrodes; and a cover sealed and coupled to the top surface of the case.

A battery unit comprising an electric energy reservoir having positive and negative voltage supply terminals, three or more electric contact pads on an outer surface of the battery unit, and a dynamically configurable connection unit for electrically connecting each of said positive and negative voltage supply terminals to any one or more of said electric contact pads, wherein electric energy can be drawn from the electric energy reservoir via selectively different combinations of electric contact pads.

The present application provides an electrical cigarette and a battery assembly thereof, wherein a first charging electrode assembly is arranged at a front end of the battery assembly, such that the battery assembly can be directly inserted into a charger to be charged without removing an atomizing assembly, therefore the operation is more convenient and disadvantages caused by frequent disassembling and assembling may be avoided. In addition, under the action of a charging management circuit, the electrode assembly at the front end can only be charged but cannot discharge, thereby avoiding an occurrence of a short circuit when the charging terminal discharges, extending the service life of the battery, and further avoiding a hidden danger of battery liquid leakage caused by the short circuit. In addition, since the front end of the electronic cigarette can not discharge, a situation that the electronic cigarette still has a low battery even been charged for a long time will not happen.

A battery pack comprises a first battery cell and a second battery cell; the first and second battery cells each have a size within a manufacturing tolerance. A housing comprises at least one wall defining a first hole and a second hole, each hole for receiving one of the first or second battery cells, each hole having a size corresponding to a minimum size within the manufacturing tolerance. There is a flexibly resilient portion moveable between a rest position and a clamping position whereby the flexibly resilient portion clamps against at least one of the first and second battery cells when one of the first or second battery cells has a size greater than the minimum size within the manufacturing tolerance.

A battery module is provided and includes a plurality of rechargeable batteries and a battery cover, wherein the rechargeable batteries are disposed adjacent to each other, each of the rechargeable batteries has a battery case having a wall portion equipped with an open valve that is constructed so as to open when the inner pressure of the battery case rises up to a threshold value, and the battery cover faces the wall portion. The battery cover has a plurality of cover members provided side by side in a direction toward which the rechargeable batteries are disposed adjacent to each other. The cover members include at least adjacent first and second cover members. The first cover member has a first edge portion and the second cover member has a second edge portion overlapped with the first edge portion.
