Battery systems containing recyclable battery portions

A battery system, comprising:

• a battery compartment within a mobile cart;
• a removable housing sized to fit within the battery compartment and sized to a size of a standard size battery, wherein a standard lithium battery of the same size weighs over a threshold weight;
• wherein the housing comprises a top door or top cover coupled thereto and is configured to conceal a manifold of the battery system, wherein the manifold is mounted to a top surface of the housing;
• a central connector of the battery system for connecting two or more battery portions to collectively produce sufficient power to power electronic equipment of the cart;
• wherein each of the two or more battery portions are individually replaceable, and the two or more battery portions fill an interior compartment of the housing;
• the housing comprises a front door or front cover hingedly attached at a midpoint of a side of the housing, wherein the front door or front cover allows access to the two or more battery portions when the front door or front cover is open, and the manifold remains stationary while the front door or front cover is opened;
• wherein an entirety of the top surface of the housing remains fixed when the front door or front cover moves from a closed position to an open position;
• wherein exterior surfaces of the housing establish the size of the housing to be the size of the standard size battery and further define the interior compartment of the housing, the interior compartment of the housing comprising a void for placement of the two or more battery portions;
• and
• wherein each of the two or more battery portions weigh at or below the threshold weight.

A mobile cart, comprising:

• a battery system, comprising:
• a battery compartment within a mobile cart;
• a removable housing sized as a standard size battery and configured to fit within the battery compartment and configured to retain two or more battery portions, wherein a standard lithium battery of the same size would weigh over a threshold weight;
• the housing comprising a front door or front cover coupled thereto, wherein the front door or front cover comprises an entirety of a front face of the housing, the front door or front cover allowing access to the two or more battery portions for removal when in an open position;
• and
• wherein the front door or front cover is hingedly attached at a midpoint of a side of the housing, and wherein the housing further comprises a top door or top cover coupled thereto, wherein the top door or top cover can allow access to the first manifold and/or the second manifold of the battery system when the top door or top cover is open
• wherein an entirety of a top surface of the housing remains fixed when the front door or front cover moves from a closed position to the open position;
• a positive terminal and a negative terminal;
• and
• a central connector connected to the two or more battery portions, the positive terminal, and the negative terminal;
• a computer;
• a first manifold and a second manifold mounted to a top of the housing;
• and
• a display;
• wherein the two or more battery portions collectively produce sufficient power to power the computer and the display;
• wherein exterior surfaces of the housing establish the size of the housing to be the size of the standard size battery and further define an interior compartment of the housing, the interior compartment of the housing comprising a void for placement of the two or more battery portions;
• and
• wherein each of the two or more battery portions weigh at or below a desired threshold weight, and wherein the two or more battery portions fill an interior compartment of the housing.
