ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems for constructing a battery, the battery including at least two energy storage sections connected in parallel to a common module power bus, the energy storage sections including at least one battery cell and at least one section disconnect device capable of disconnecting the at least two energy sections from the module power bus, and, a section protection device to control the section disconnect device based on data from the energy storage sections. In an embodiment, the battery can include at least two battery modules connected in series using an interlock signal, where the battery modules include a module protection device having an interlock signal controller and fault logic for controlling the interlock signal controller, such that the modules can control the interlock signal and hence a disconnect device that receives the interlock signal and is connected between the modules and a load and/or charger.
