Abstract
Described are remote command-enabled battery modules and systems and methods incorporating them.
Claims14
A battery module for remote command, comprising:
- a battery case;
- a plurality of battery cells received within the battery case, a negative electrical terminal electrically coupled to the battery cells, a positive electrical terminal electrically coupled to the battery cells, the battery cells providing a voltage potential between the positive electrical terminal and the negative electrical terminal;
- electronics received within the battery case and configured to enable electromagnetic signaling to and from the battery module;
- and
- a disable mechanism responsive to the electromagnetic signaling to the battery module and operable to disable use of said voltage potential.

A battery module for remote command, comprising:
- a battery case;
- a plurality of battery cells received within the battery case, a negative electrical terminal electrically coupled to the battery cells, and a positive electrical terminal electrically coupled to the battery cells;
- electronics received within the battery case and configured to enable electromagnetic signaling to and from the battery module;
- and
- the electronics operable to generate a value representative of cumulative power drawn from the battery cells over a period of time and to transmit the value to a remote location by said electromagnetic signaling from the battery module.
2 more elements
A system for management and control of one or more battery modules, the system comprising:
- one or more battery modules including a battery case, a plurality of battery cells received within the battery case, a negative electrical terminal electrically coupled to the battery cells, a positive electrical terminal electrically coupled to the battery cells, and electronics received within the battery case and configured to enable electromagnetic signaling to and from the battery module;
- a controller remote from and communicatively coupled to the one or more battery modules and configured to receive the electromagnetic signaling from the battery module and transmit the electromagnetic signaling to the battery module.
