Abstract
An energy store including a housing, a first plurality of storage cells, a second plurality of storage cells, a first electrical pin configuration, a second electrical pin configuration, and a switching device. The switching device is configured to connect the first plurality of storage cells to the first electrical pin configuration, the second plurality of storage cells to the second electrical pin configuration and/or the first plurality of storage cells to the second plurality of storage cells.
Claims20
An energy store, comprising:
- a housing;
- a first plurality of storage cells;
- a second plurality of storage cells;
- a first electrical pin configuration via which electrical energy is feedable from each of the first plurality of storage cells and from each of the second plurality of storage cells to a first energy consumer;
- a second electrical pin configuration via which electrical energy is feedable from each of the first plurality of storage cells and from each of the second plurality of storage cells to a second energy consumer that is different than the first energy consumer;
- a switching matrix;
- and
- a system of one or more integrated circuits;
- wherein:
- the system of one or more integrated circuits is programmed to operate the switching matrix to, with respect to each respective one of the storage cells of the first plurality of storage cells and each respective one of the storage cells of the second plurality of storage cells, control a switching that establishes whether the respective storage cell is electrically coupled to the first electrical pin configuration, including to:
- (a) perform an electrical coupling of the respective storage cell to the first electrical pin configuration when the respective storage cell is electrically coupled to the second electrical pin configuration;
- (b) perform the electrical coupling of the respective storage cell to the first electrical pin configuration when the respective storage cell is not electrically coupled to the second electrical pin configuration;
- (c) perform the electrical coupling of the respective storage cell when any of the other storage cells of the first and second pluralities of storage cells is electrically coupled to the first electrical pin configuration;
- (d) perform the electrical coupling of the respective storage cell when the any of the other storage cells of the first and second pluralities of storage cells is not electrically coupled to the first electrical pin configuration;
- (e) perform the electrical coupling of the respective storage cell when the any of the other storage cells of the first and second pluralities of storage cells is electrically coupled to the second electrical pin configuration;
- and
- (f) perform the electrical coupling of the respective storage cell when the any of the other storage cells of the first and second pluralities of storage cells is not electrically coupled to the second electrical pin configuration;
- the first plurality of storage cells are all simultaneously connectable to the first electrical pin configuration;
- the second plurality of storage cells are all simultaneously connectable to the second electrical pin configuration;
- and
- the first plurality of storage cells are connectable to the second plurality of storage cells.
