Battery pack and cap lamp system
A cap lamp system includes a battery pack featuring a housing with a battery cell and a protection circuit positioned within the battery pack housing. A pair of terminals are attached to the battery cell and are adapted to provide power to a cap lamp and/or other device(s). Circuitry is electrically attached to the battery cell and the cap lamp for controlling discharging of the battery cell when powering the cap lamp and/or other device(s) and charging of the battery cell when the battery pack is connected to a charger.
1. A cap lamp system comprising:
a. a battery pack housing;
b. a battery cell having a lithium-based chemistry positioned in the battery pack housing;
c. a load attached to the battery cell, said load including a cap lamp;
d. a cap lamp housing, said load positioned within the cap lamp housing;
e. an electronic control module integrated into the load and electrically attached to the cap lamp;
f. a protection circuit electrically attached between said battery cell and the electronic control module and positioned in the battery pack housing; and
g. said electronic control module controlling discharging of the battery cell when powering the cap lamp and charging of the battery cell when the battery pack is connected to a charger.
2. The cap lamp system of claim 1 wherein said cap lamp housing is directly connected to the battery pack housing.
3. The cap lamp system of claim 1 further comprising a cord attached to the battery cell and the load to provide power from the battery cell to the load.
4. The cap lamp system of claim 1 wherein the battery cell is a Lithium-ion cell.
5. The cap lamp system of claim 1 wherein the electronic control module includes a transistor that is used to control discharging of the battery cell.
6. A cap lamp system comprising:
a. a battery pack housing;
b. a battery cell having a lithium-based chemistry positioned within said battery pack housing and having a pair of terminals;
c. an electronic control module;
d. a protection circuit electrically attached between the pair of terminals of said battery cell and the electronic control module and positioned within the battery pack housing;
e. a cap lamp attached to electronic control module; and
f. said electronic control module controlling discharging of the battery cell when powering the cap lamp and charging of the battery cell when the battery pack is connected to a charger.
7. The cap lamp system of claim 6 wherein said cap lamp is directly connected to the battery pack housing.
8. The cap lamp system of claim 6 further comprising a cord attached to the battery cell and the cap lamp to provide power from the battery cell to the cap lamp.
9. The cap lamp system of claim 6 wherein the battery cell is a Lithium-ion cell.
10. The cap lamp system of claim 6 wherein the electronic control module includes a transistor that is used to control discharging of the battery cell.
11. The cap lamp system of claim 6 wherein the electronic control module is incorporated into the cap lamp.
12. The cap lamp system of claim 6 wherein the electronic control module is positioned within the battery pack housing.
