Abstract:
1. A battery, said battery comprising: at least one cell that stores charge; at least one sourcing contact over which current can be drawn from said at least one cell; a sense contact; a control circuit, said control circuit: connected between said at least one cell and said at least one sourcing contact to selectively connect said cell to said sourcing contact; connected between said at least one cell and said sense contact to selectively connect said cell to said sense contact; connected to said sense contact to monitor the signal present at said sense contact; and connected to one of said contacts to receive therefrom a recognition signal wherein, said control circuit is configured to: when the second defined signal is sensed at said sense contact, terminating the on and off cycling connection of said at least one cell to the one said contact and return to the steps of applying a voltage to said sense contact while simultaneously monitoring said sense contact for the presence of the first defined signal.
