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 battery module in an energy storage device used with a plurality of battery modules in a battery rack and including a rack fuse that cuts off a circuit when an overcurrent occurs includes a battery cell and a module fuse for cutting off a circuit when overcurrent occurs, the module fuse starts to melt later than a melting completion time point of the rack fuse.

A power system that is attachable to a helmet is disclosed. The power system provides power and data connections for helmet-mounted accessory devices and provides power to the accessory devices. The power system includes a base unit that is attachable to the helmet. The base unit includes a processor, an internal power source, and one or more cable interfaces. One or more accessory interfaces can each be attached to the helmet, connected to a cable interface, and connected to an accessory device. The base unit further include an interface for attaching a power module to the base unit. The power module includes one or more removable power sources. The base unit selectively provides, to an accessory device connected to an accessory interface, power from either the internal power source or from a removable power source.
