Abstract

An electrical system with replaceable batteries comprises an electrical system and a combined switch. The electrical system comprises a plurality of battery packs ( 1, 2, 3 ); all the battery packs are independently arranged each other; and an electric-quantity display device which is used for displaying the electric-quantity information indicating signals of the battery packs and a gear switch which is used for mutually switching the battery packs are arranged on the combined switch. Each battery pack comprises a battery (A 1 , A 2 , A 3 ), a power switches (B 1 , B 2 , B 3 ) and a battery management system (C 1 , C 2 , C 3 ). The battery management systems receive and combine the output signals of the combined switches with the electric-quantity information indicating signals, thereby controlling whether the power switches are closed to provide power output or not.

Claims (14)

1. An electrical system with replaceable batteries, comprising:

an electrical system comprising a plurality of battery packs, wherein the plurality of battery packs are independently arranged, and wherein each battery pack comprises a battery, a power switch, and a battery management system; and

a combined switch including

an electric-quantity display device used for displaying an electric-quantity information indicating signal of each of the plurality of battery packs and

a gear switch used for switching among the plurality of battery packs, wherein the gear switch having multiple gear positions corresponding to the plurality of battery pack and an off gear position;

wherein each battery management system receives an output signal of the combined switch when corresponding gear position of the gear switch is closed and combines the output signal with the electric-quantity information-indicating signal, thereby controlling whether to close the corresponding power switch to provide power output.

2. The electrical system with replaceable batteries according to claim 1 , further comprising a safety switch, the combined switch and the safety switch are connected to form a loop, and a low voltage level signal of the battery management system is outputted by means of the combined switch in the loop.

3. The electrical system with replaceable batteries according to claim 2 , wherein the electrical system further comprises a case, and the battery packs are located in the case.

4. The electrical system with replaceable batteries according to claim 3 , wherein the case further comprises a case cover or a safety device thereon, and the case cover or the safety device is in control connection with the safety switch.

5. The electrical system with replaceable batteries according to claim 1 , further comprising a fault display device used for displaying a battery pack fault state.

6. The electrical system with replaceable batteries according to claim 5 , wherein the fault display device is an indicating lamp.

7. The electrical system with replaceable batteries according to claim 1 , wherein the battery packs are lead-acid battery packs, lithium battery packs or nickel-metal hydride battery packs.

8. The electrical system with replaceable batteries according to claim 1 , wherein the power switches are electronic switches.

9. The electrical system with replaceable batteries according to claim 8 , wherein the electronic switches are relays or contactors.
