Battery powered light tower

A light tower, comprising:

• a base;
• an extendible mast coupled to the base, wherein the extendible mast is configured to move between a lowered position and a raised position;
• a battery pack including a plurality of lithium-ion battery cells, the battery pack coupled to the base;
• a light assembly including a plurality of light emitting diodes, the light assembly coupled to the extendible mast and the light emitting diodes electrically coupled to the battery pack;
• a charger in communication with the battery pack;
• and
• a controller in communication with the light assembly and the battery pack, the controller being configured to:
• switch the battery pack into a charge state to allow for charging of the battery pack from the charger;
• receive a charging schedule that controls an interval, date, or time when the battery pack is charged by the charger;
• communicate, to a user device, a runtime based on a light intensity of the plurality of light emitting diodes;
• receive an available power output of the battery pack and, in response, operate the battery pack between a normal operating mode and an increased operating mode;
• and
• display, on the user device, an updated runtime resulting from a switch between the normal operating mode and the increased operating mode.

A method of controlling a battery-powered light tower, the method comprising:

• displaying, on a user interface, a numeric runtime based on a light intensity of a light assembly;
• receive, from the user interface, a light intensity change input;
• detect, via a light sensor, a brightness of the light assembly;
• instruct a plurality of dimmable drivers to change a brightness of the light assembly by adjusting a power provided by a battery pack to the light assembly;
• and
• display, on the user interface, an updated numeric runtime resulting from the change in the brightness of the light assembly.
