Power unit module for battery-powered power equipment and method of mounting same onto frame member of power equipment

A power unit module for a battery-powered power equipment, comprising:

• a battery tray configured to removably receive a first battery;
• a battery latching mechanism configured to engage and lock the first battery to the battery tray if the first battery is mounted onto the battery tray;
• and
• a printed circuit board connected to the battery tray, the printed circuit board including a controller that is configured to be in electrical communication with the battery if the battery is mounted in the battery tray and the battery latch locks the battery to the battery tray;
• a housing enclosing the battery tray and including a first opening and a second opening;
• a rear light emitting diode assembly mounted onto one of the battery tray and the housing;
• a first access panel removably connected to the housing to selectively open and close the first opening;
• and
• a second access panel removably connected to the housing to selectively open and close the second opening.

A power unit module for a battery-powered power equipment, comprising:

• a battery tray sub-assembly including:
• a battery tray configured to removably receive a battery;
• a bottom cover connected to the battery tray;
• a battery latching mechanism configured to engage and lock the battery on the battery tray if the battery is mounted onto the battery tray, the battery latch mechanism is located between the battery tray and the bottom cover and protruding though the battery tray;
• and
• a printed circuit board mounted onto one of the battery tray and the bottom cover, the printed circuit board including a controller that is configured to be in electrical communication with the battery if the battery is mounted in the battery tray and the battery latch locks the battery to the battery tray;
• a housing enclosing the battery tray sub-assembly and including a left-hand opening and a right-hand opening;
• a rear light emitting diode assembly mounted onto one of the battery tray and the housing;
• a left-hand access panel removably connected to the housing to selectively open and close the left-hand opening;
• and
• a right-hand access panel removably connected to the housing to selectively open and close the right-hand opening.
