Abstract: A battery pack includes an outer housing and a plurality of pouch cells arranged within the outer housing. Each of the plurality of pouch cells has a first cell end, a second cell end, and a cell side surface provided between the first cell end and the second cell end. The cell side surface includes a first face, a second face, and a third face. Each of the plurality of pouch cells has a thickness in a first direction extending between the first cell end and the second cell end and has a two-dimensional projection in a plane that is orthogonal to the first direction.

Abstract: A temperature controlled enclosure that includes a temperature control device for controlling the temperature within an internal cavity of the temperature controlled enclosure. The temperature controlled enclosure also includes one or more charging ports for receiving and charging a battery pack. A controller within the temperature controlled enclosure controls the temperature within the internal cavity to a predetermined or desired temperature (e.g., 20° C.). When a battery pack is received in the one or more charging ports, the temperature of the battery pack can be determined. If, for example, the temperature of the battery pack is below 0° C., the battery pack is allowed to warm up inside the temperature controlled enclosure before the battery pack is charged.

Abstract: An electrical device capable of emitting or absorbs energy relative a surrounding environment. The electrical device includes a housing, an interior volume defined in the housing, an energy sensor at least partially exposed to the surrounding environment, a first material having a first absorptivity, and a second material having a second absorptivity lower than the first absorptivity. The first material is nearer to the surrounding environment than the second material is at an energy sensor reading below a threshold energy range, and the first material is farther from the surrounding environment than the second material is at an energy sensor reading above the threshold energy range.

Abstract: A power tool system includes first and second power tools, each having a mechanical connector and an electrical connector. At least one of the connectors of the second power tool is dissimilar from the connectors of the first power tool. The power tool system further includes a battery housing defining a cavity therein, a battery cell positioned within the cavity of the battery housing, a mechanical connector configured to mechanically couple with the mechanical connector of the first power tool, an electrical connector configured to electrically couple with the electrical connector of the first power tool, and an adaptor configured to removably engage a connector of the battery such that the battery is configured to couple to the second power tool when the adaptor is coupled to the battery and is configured to couple to the first power tool when the adaptor is removed from the battery.
