US 2022/0102991 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRANSMITTING INFORMATION VIA A CHARGER MODULE

Abstract

A method includes coupling a battery pack to a charger module, where the battery pack includes battery pack operating information and power tool operating information. The charger module includes a communications device. The method also includes transferring the battery pack operating information and the power tool operating information from the battery pack to the communications device. The method includes storing the battery pack operating information and the power tool operating information within the communications device and decoupling the battery pack from the charger module. The method includes transmitting the battery pack operating information and the power tool operating information from the communications device to a cloud-based computing device via a cellular transceiver after the battery pack is disengaged from the charger module.
