Open Standards/Multipurpose AC-Battery/Mechanical specification

This chapter describes the mechanical requirements and definitions for a multipurpose AC-battery pack.

Requirements:

edit

The mechanical construction has to fulfill the following requirements:

- All the accumulator packs have the same defined length and width. They shall be useable in e-Bikes as well as in electric vehicles.

- There are three variants in height.

- All sizes shall fit on the same holder and connector.

- They shall have a carry / fix / release handle with comfortable diameter and sufficient space for the fingers.

- The accumulator packs shall have small wheels at the connector side to ease insertion.

- The ground plane common to all sizes has to be flat and support heat sinking.

- The weight shall not exceed the weight of a six pack of coke bottles (12Kg).

- The accumulator packs shall withstand rain

Dimensions:

edit

All battery packs shall have an overall length of 360mm without the handle.

 


All battery packs shall have an overall with of 100mm exclusive the handle arms and fixation and w with of 105mm inclusive the handle arms and fixation. The fixation and the insertio wheels shall have a with of 2mm on each side. A tongue and grouve ring is used to make the connection side waterproof. The connector side is symmetrically. There are three sizes of AC batteries: small (50mm), medium (100mm) and large (200mm).


     

Connectors:

edit

For power connection there are two female ring contacts inside with a diameter of 10mm. They shall have the ability to carry up to 300A continuous current and insulation for 3000V. For control connection, there are 3x3 female connectors inside. type: "PHOENIX CONTACT - 1792760 - PLUG, FREE, 5.08MM, 3WAY" (better suggestions welcome). Current rating: >0,1A, insultion voltage: 3000V.
