Abstract
Devices, systems, methods, computer-implemented methods, and/or computer program products to facilitate an intelligent battery cell with integrated monitoring and switches are provided. According to an embodiment, a device can comprise active battery cell material. The device can further comprise an internal circuit coupled to the active battery cell material and comprising: one or more switches coupled to battery cell poles of the device; and a processor that operates the one or more switches to provide a defined value of electric potential at the battery cell poles.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- modular battery cell devices respectively comprising an internal circuit that provides a defined value of electric potential at respective battery cell poles of the modular battery cell devices, wherein the modular battery cell devices are coupled to one another to provide a second defined value of electric potential at battery cell poles of the device.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- providing, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, respectively, a defined value of electric potential at battery cell poles of modular battery cell devices using internal circuits of the modular battery cell devices;
- and
- yielding, by the system, a second defined value of electric potential at second battery cell poles of a device comprising the modular battery cell devices based on the providing.
A device, comprising:
- modular battery cell devices coupled to one another and comprising internal circuits that are used to provide an alternating current energy supply at an alternating current terminal of the device and a direct current energy supply at a direct current terminal of the device.
