Abstract:
A connector with ambience monitoring capability for charging an electric aircraft. The connector includes a housing, at least a current conductor, at least a ground conductor and at least a control pilot. The housing is configured to mate with an electric aircraft port of the electric aircraft. The at least a current conductor is configured to conduct a current. The at least a ground conductor is configured to conduct to ground. The at least a control pilot is configured to conduct a control signal. The at least a control pilot is further configured to receive a voltage datum of a battery of the electric aircraft, determine, as a function of the voltage datum, an ambient requirement for the battery, and transmit the ambient requirement for implementation. A method, of using a connector with ambience monitoring capability, for charging an electric aircraft is also provided.
