Patent ID: 8217629

Claim:
A regulator assembly for controlling a charging process for an energy storing device, the regulator assembly comprising: a power bus configured for controlling a charging flow to the energy storing device; a contact moveable between a connected position and a disconnected position, wherein said contact is coupled to said power bus when in said connected position to permit the charging flow to the energy storing device, and said contact is de-coupled from said power bus when in said disconnected position to prevent the charging flow to the energy storing device; a biasing device coupled to said contact and configured for biasing said contact into one of said connected position and said disconnected position; and an actuator coupled to said contact and configured for moving said contact from one of said connected position and said disconnected position into the other of said connected position and said disconnected position when a feedback signal from the energy storing device is equal to or greater than a pre-determined value.
