Abstract:
Apparatus for a modular battery management system for a battery having a plurality of cells. The system includes interchangeable chargers each associated with a slave module. The chargers are connected to each cell and a master module controlling the system. All the modules receive power through a transfer switch that selectively switches between external sources and the battery. With the transfer switch connecting the battery to the charger modules, each charger operates independently to maintain its associated cell. Each charger is electrically isolated from the other chargers. The external sources provide capacity information used by the master module. The slave modules are autonomous and shut down the battery and disconnect the module when a critical parameter of the cell is reached. When the battery is in service and a cell parameter approaches the critical level, the master controller instructs the corresponding slave module to charge the cell using battery power.

Claim (Index 2):
The apparatus of  claim 1  further including a transfer switch, said transfer switch operatively connected to said plurality of chargers, said transfer switch having a first state wherein an external power source is connected to power said plurality of chargers, said transfer switch having a second state wherein the battery is connected to provide power to said plurality of chargers.
