Abstract
A battery pack including a secondary battery arranged on an elastic member and a piezoelectric member is provided. Vertical movement of the secondary battery within the battery pack generates electrical energy that may be used to charge the secondary battery.
Claims20
A battery pack, comprising:
- at least one secondary battery including:
- an electrode assembly;
- a case accommodating the electrode assembly;
- and a collecting terminal electrically connected to the electrode assembly and protruding out of the case;
- a support member supporting the secondary battery;
- an energy generating part disposed between the secondary battery and the support member and configured to generate electrical energy;
- and
- an energy supplying part configured to supply the electrical energy generated from the energy generating part to the secondary battery.
5 more elements
A battery pack, comprising:
- at least one secondary battery;
- an energy generator configured to generate electrical energy based on movement of the secondary battery;
- and
- an energy supplying part configured to supply the electrical energy generated from the energy generating part to the secondary battery.
1 more element
A battery pack including at least one secondary battery at least partially surrounded by a covering member, comprising:
- energy generating means for generating electrical energy based on movement of the secondary battery, the energy generating means being arranged between the covering member and the secondary battery;
- and
- energy supplying means for supplying the electrical energy generated from the energy generating means to the secondary battery.
