Filed:

Nov 25, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/277380

Assignee:

Xtreme Power Inc. - Kyle TX

International Classification:

H02J 7/00
H02J 9/00

US Classification:

307150

Abstract:

A battery pack connection scheme is shown that provides an optimum DC environment for every cell in the pack, such that every cell in the same or similar voltage level in the pack sees exactly the same voltage and current environment. In some examples, a portable pack is provided having a positive load connection terminal and multiple batteries connected in parallel to the terminal. Connections are made with segments preferably have matching impedances, or have matching DC resistances, creating a uniform DC environment. Portable pack designs are provided including chargers and inverters connected in the uniform DC environment.

International Classification:

H02J 7/00

US Classification:

320128, 429158, 429159

Abstract:

A battery pack connection scheme is shown that provides an synchronized DC environment for every cell in the pack, such that every cell in the same or similar voltage level in the pack sees exactly the same voltage and current environment. In some embodiments, a pack is provided having a positive load connection terminal and multiple batteries connected in parallel to the terminal. The connections are made via respective conductive paths each including a high-power DC precision cable segment, each of the conductive paths having a resistance suitable to allow an average charge acceptance rate of the battery pack to be greater than a one-hour, or “C1”, charge rate. The precision cable segments preferably have matching impedances, or have matching DC resistances.

Abstract:

A power delivery rate from a renewable power source to a load is managed by determining, by processing circuitry, a change in a power generation rate, determining, by the processing circuitry, whether the change in the power generation rate exceeds a limit, and then, adjusting, by control circuitry, a power transfer rate to or from a power storage device, such that the adjusting is sufficient to prevent the power delivery rate from exceeding the limit.

International Classification:

B60L 1/00

US Classification:

307010100

Abstract:

An high capacity mobile electric power source having a toolbox for attachment to a truck bed. A battery is connected to the toolbox bottom. The battery is high capacity, maintenance free, 12-volt direct current battery. An inverter is connected to and is in thermal communication with the toolbox rear-gate facing wall for enhanced thermal dissipation. The inverter is electrically connected to the battery positive pole connection. A first electrical outlet is connected to the toolbox rear-gate facing wall adjacent the driver side sidewall, the first electrical outlet is electrically connected to the inverter.

Assignee:

XTREME POWER, INC. - Kyle TX

International Classification:

H02J 7/00

US Classification:

320129, 320136

Abstract:

Discharging a battery is accomplished by: applying an electrical stimulus to the battery; measuring a response to the electrical stimulus, the measured response providing an indication of discharge efficiency of the battery; determining a target frequency corresponding to a maximum discharge efficiency; and then discharging the battery with a discharge current profile comprising current pulses having a frequency component selected based on the determined target frequency.
