    Abstract: A method and apparatus for a battery protection circuit. One embodiment provides a method for protecting a battery including receiving, with a comparator, a first voltage, the first voltage including a switch voltage across a current limiting switch provided on a current path of a battery and coupled to a current limiting control circuit to limit current output by the battery. The method also includes receiving, with the comparator, a reference voltage and comparing, with the comparator, the first voltage and the reference voltage. The method further includes controlling, with the comparator, a control switch to open when the first voltage exceeds the reference voltage.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for contactless battery discharging. One embodiment takes the form of a contactless power-transfer system that includes a wireless-communication interface, a controller connected to the wireless-communication interface, a magnetic-resonance circuit, a power-conditioning circuit connected to the magnetic-resonance circuit, and a load element connected to the power-conditioning circuit. The controller is configured to determine that a smart-battery system is in a discharge-needed state and responsively transmit, via the wireless-communication interface, a battery-discharge command instructing the smart-battery system to generate an oscillating magnetic field. The magnetic-resonance circuit is configured to couple with the generated oscillating magnetic field and responsively output a corresponding power signal. The power-conditioning circuit is configured to receive the power signal from the magnetic-resonance circuit, rectify the received power signal, and output the rectified power signal. The load element is configured to receive the rectified power signal from the power-conditioning circuit.

    Abstract: Embodiments include a modular battery charger having a main charging source and is configured to include at least one additional charging source that can be an auxiliary charging source or an external charging source. The additional charging sources can be added as modules to augment the total charging current that can be provided to a rechargeable battery. The modular battery charger can selectively enable or disable the additional charging sources while controlling the output current of the main charging source to adjust the charging current provided to a rechargeable battery.
