Abstract
The present invention relates to a booster kit for reusing a battery to create an environment enabling the supply of power and managing a voltage to each battery cell or battery module of the battery cells having usable voltages.
Claims10
A booster kit for reusing a battery, comprising:
- a battery connecting unit connected to a positive (+) electrode and a negative (−) electrode of a battery module of the battery;
- a converter configured to change a voltage of the battery module;
- a current terminal configured to supply current of the battery module to outside of the battery;
- and
- a communication terminal configured to receive a control signal and to transmit the control signal to the converter,
- wherein the converter changes the voltage of the battery module based on the control signal.
