Abstract
A battery powered material handling vehicle with a battery pack. A busbar can be provided to equally distribute charging current within the battery pack.
Claims20
A busbar for a lithium ion battery pack, the busbar comprising:
- a first system-side terminal;
- a second system-side terminal;
- a first battery-side terminal;
- a second battery-side terminal;
- a first electric current pathway having a first length value defined from the first system-side terminal to the first battery-side terminal;
- a second electric current pathway having a second length value defined from the first system-side terminal to the second battery-side terminal;
- a third electric current pathway having a third length value defined from the second system-side terminal to the first battery-side terminal;
- and
- a fourth electric current pathway having a fourth length value defined from the second system-side terminal to the second battery-side terminal,
- wherein a first sum value of the first length value and the second length value is substantially equal to a second sum value of the third length value and the fourth length value.
