Abstract
A rechargeable battery jump starting device with a dual battery diode bridge system. The dual battery diode bridge, for example, is configured to protect against a back-charge to a first battery and/or a second battery after a vehicle has been jump charged to prevent damage thereto.
Claims22
A rechargeable battery jump starting device having a back-charge diode system, the device comprising:
- a first battery;
- a second battery;
- an electrical control switch electrically connected to the first battery and the second battery, the electrical control switch configured to switch between a parallel connection and a series connection for the first and second battery;
- and
- a back-charge diode module connected to the first battery and the second battery, the back-charge diode module configured to protect against a back-charge to the first battery and/or the second battery after a vehicle battery has been jump started,
- wherein the back-charge diode module comprises a first channel of diodes accommodating current flow through the first battery and a second channel of diodes accommodating current flow through the second battery, and
- wherein the back-charge diode module includes an upper frame member, a lower frame member, and a center frame member located between the upper frame member and the lower frame member, and wherein the first channel of diodes are connected between the upper frame member and the center frame member and the second channel of diodes are connected between the lower frame member and the center frame member.
A rechargeable battery jump starting device having a back-charge diode system, the device comprising:
- a first battery;
- a second battery;
- an electrical control switch electrically connected to the first battery and the second battery, the electrical control switch configured to switch between a parallel connection and a series connection for the first and second batteries;
- a back-charge diode module connected to the first battery and the second battery, the back-charge diode module configured to protect against a back-charge to the first battery and/or the second battery after a vehicle battery has been jump started;
- and
- a conductive frame connected to the first battery, the second battery, and the control switch,
- wherein the back-charge diode module includes conductive bars that are portions of the conductive frame.
A rechargeable battery jump starting device having a back-charge diode system, the device comprising:
- one or more rechargeable batteries;
- a back-charge diode module connected to the one or more rechargeable batteries, the back-charge diode module configured to protect against a back-charge to the one or more rechargeable batteries after a vehicle battery has been jump started;
- and
- a conductive frame connected to the one or more rechargeable batteries,
- wherein the back-charge diode module includes one or more conductive bars that are portions of the conductive frame.
