A method for controlling operation of garden equipment and a battery pack

A method for controlling operation of garden equipment with a battery pack comprising a control unit for preforming the method, when the battery back is inserted into a recess of the garden equipment and in data communication, via a data bus, with a control unit of the garden equipment, the method comprising

• reading, via the data bus, an identifier of the garden equipment,
• retrieving operational control data for the garden equipment from a non-transitory computer-readable medium of the control unit in the battery pack based on the identifier,
• collecting, via the data bus, sensor data from garden equipment sensors, and
• controlling, via the data bus, the operation of the garden equipment from the control unit based on the retrieved control data and the collected sensor data.

A battery pack for controlling operation of garden equipment, when the battery pack is inserted into a recess of the garden equipment and in data communication, via a data bus, with a control unit of the garden equipment, said battery pack comprising a control unit comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium, configured to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the control unit to:

• read, via the data bus, an identifier of the garden equipment,
• retrieve operational control data for the garden equipment from the non-transitory computer-readable medium of the control unit in the battery pack based on the identifier,
• collect, via the data bus, sensor data from garden equipment sensors, and
• control, via the data bus, the operation of the garden equipment from the control unit based on the retrieved control data and the collected sensor data.
