Abstract: In some implementations, a device may include a cell arrangement that stores energy for operating an energy storage system. In addition, the device may include a display that is positioned at the battery and configured to receive service information from the management system and to display the service information that relates to the cell arrangement such that at least one of a serviceability and condition of the battery is decipherable by viewing the display.

Abstract: A battery module for use in a battery pack is disclosed. The battery module (12, 12′) comprises a plurality of battery cells (24, 25) and a sensing circuit (62) extending across the battery cells. A monitoring unit (46) is connected to the sensing circuit. The monitoring unit comprises a continuity detector (66) arranged to detect a break in continuity of the sensing circuit (62). This can allow a thermal event occurring in one of the plurality of cells to be detected.
