Abstract
A charging station assembly for charging power tool batteries in a remote location includes a solar panel that is attached to an outer surface of a vehicle. A battery is attached to the vehicle and the battery is in electrical communication with the solar panel such that the solar panel charges the battery. A bracket is mountable within a cab of the vehicle such that the bracket is accessible to a driver. A power strip is coupled to the bracket and the power strip is in electrical communication with the battery. The power strip has the battery chargers plugged therein for charging power tool batteries.
Claims7
A charging station assembly being integrated into a vehicle thereby facilitating power tool batteries to be recharged, said assembly comprising:
- a solar panel being attached to an outer surface of a vehicle wherein said solar panel is configured to be exposed to sunlight, said solar panel having an output;
- a battery being attached to the vehicle, said battery being in electrical communication with said solar panel such that said solar panel charges said battery;
- a bracket being mountable within a cab of the vehicle wherein said bracket is configured to be accessible to a driver;
- and
- a power strip being coupled to said bracket, said power strip being in electrical communication with said battery, said power strip having the battery chargers plugged therein for charging power tool batteries.
A charging station assembly being integrated into a vehicle thereby facilitating power tool batteries to be recharged, said assembly comprising:
- a solar panel being attached to an outer surface of a vehicle wherein said solar panel is configured to be exposed to sunlight, said solar panel having an output;
- a battery being attached to the vehicle, said battery being in electrical communication with said solar panel such that said solar panel charges said battery, said battery having an input and an output;
- a first conductor being electrically coupled between said output of said solar panel and said input of said battery;
- a bracket being mountable within a cab of the vehicle wherein said bracket is configured to be accessible to a driver, said bracket having a first portion forming an angle with a second portion, said first portion being attached to a vertical support surface in the vehicle having said second portion being oriented on a horizontal plane such that said second portion defines a shelf for supporting battery chargers for power tools;
- a power strip being coupled to said bracket, said power strip being in electrical communication with said battery, said power strip having the battery chargers plugged therein for charging power tool batteries, said power strip being positioned on said first portion of said bracket;
- and
- a second conductor being electrically coupled between said output of said battery and said power strip for supplying voltage to said power strip.
