Abstract

According to an implementation, a pressure washer system may include a pump and an engine drivingly coupled with the pump. A pressure washer controller may be associated with one or more of the pump and the engine. A battery may be communicatively coupleable with the pressure washer controller for one or more of receiving data from the pressure washer controller and transmitting data to the pressure washer controller. The battery may include a memory module for storing one or more of data received from the pressure washer controller and data to be transmitted to the pressure washer controller.

Claims (15)

1. A pressure washer system comprising:

a pump;

an engine drivingly coupled with the pump;

a pressure washer controller associated with one or more of the pump and the engine; and

a battery communicatively coupleable with the pressure washer controller for one or more of receiving data from the pressure washer controller and transmitting data to the pressure washer controller, wherein the battery is communicatively coupleable with the pressure washer controller via one or more of a wireless connection and a single wire interface between the battery and the pressure washer controller, the battery including a memory module for storing one or more of data received from the pressure washer controller and data to be transmitted to the pressure washer controller, and the battery including a communication module that is configured to be communicatively coupled with one or more of a remote computing device and a data network.

2. The pressure washer system according to claim 1 , wherein the battery includes a rechargeable battery that is configured to be removably coupled with the pressure washer system.

3. The pressure washer system according to claim 1 , wherein battery is configured for energizing an electric starter associated with the engine.

4. The pressure washer system according to claim 1 , wherein the battery is communicatively coupleable with the pressure washer controller via a wired connection between the battery and the pressure washer controller.

5. The pressure washer system according to claim 1 , wherein the communication module includes a wireless communication module that is configured to be communicatively coupled with a mobile computing device.

6. The pressure washer system according to claim 5 , wherein the communication module includes a wireless communication module that is configured to be communicatively coupled with a data network.

7. The pressure washer system according to claim 1 , wherein the communication module includes a wired communication module.

8. The pressure washer system according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure washer controller is configured to receive one or more sensor inputs associated with one or more of the pump and the engine.

9. The pressure washer system according to claim 8 , wherein the battery is communicatively coupleable with the pressure washer controller for receiving data based upon, at least in part, the one or more sensor inputs.

10. The pressure washer system according to claim 1 , wherein the battery is communicatively coupleable with the pressure washer controller for transmitting one or more operational parameters for one or more of the pump and the engine to the pressure washer controller.

11. The pressure washer system according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more operational parameters are received by the battery from a remote computing device.
