Link device for coupling energy storage devices having disparate chemistries

An energy system comprising:

• a first energy storage device including:
• a first battery having a first battery chemistry;
• and
• a first interface;
• a second energy storage device including:
• a housing defining an internal cavity and a recess;
• a lid pivotally coupled to the housing, the lid selectively enclosing the recess;
• a second battery disposed within the internal cavity and having a second battery chemistry;
• a second interface;
• and
• a third interface configured to facilitate electrically coupling the second energy storage device to a load;
• and
• a link device configured to be selectively received within the recess of the second energy storage device, the link device including:
• a fourth interface configured to facilitate selectively coupling the link device to the first interface of the first energy storage device;
• a fifth interface configured to facilitate selectively coupling the link device to the second interface of the second energy storage device;
• a regulator positioned between the fourth interface and the fifth interface;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• determine a type of the first battery chemistry and the second battery chemistry;
• and
• control the regulator to regulate a power profile of power provided by the first energy storage device to the second energy storage device based on at least the type of the first battery chemistry and the second battery chemistry such that the second energy storage device can receive the power from the first energy storage device to increase a power capacity of the second energy storage device for at least one of powering or charging the load.
