Abstract:
1. A connection system for a battery pack configured to power at least one electric motor for propelling a motor vehicle and configured to be accommodated in a compartment provided on the vehicle; the battery pack including at least one battery, the battery comprising a logical processing unit, a communication module, and connection means for connection to the motor; and the vehicle comprising a logical processing unit connected to a fixed auxiliary battery, a communication module capable of communicating with the communication module of the battery, and means for locking and immobilizing the battery in position; the system comprising means for locking and closing the compartment; and a first detection means associated with the vehicle, the first detection means being configured to detect the state of the means for locking and closing the compartment and, when the compartment is locked and closed, the first detection means sends a signal to the communication module of the vehicle indicating that the compartment is locked and closed; a second detection means associated with the battery, the second detection means being configured to detect a state of the means for locking and immobilizing the battery in position and, when the battery is locked and immobilized, the second detection means sends a signal to the communication module of the battery indicating that the battery is locked and immobilized, wherein when the communication module of the vehicle receives the signal from the first detection means indicating that the compartment is locked and closed, the communication module of the vehicle sends a signal to the communication module of the battery indicating that the compartment is locked and closed, and when the communication module of the battery receives the signal from the communication module of the vehicle indicating that the compartment is locked and closed and receives the signal from the second detection means that the battery is locked and immobilized, the communication module of the battery activates the connection means to connect the battery to the motor.
