Smart Battery

Spec presentation

• Tightly integrated package where the batteries don’t have to boot each individual battery up

• No need to have a pixhawk to booth a battery

• Pin 1 is ID

• Up to 8 different batteries

• You always know which slot battery is connected to

• Pin 2 wake up signal to battery

• One button turns on all batteries on aircraft

• All batteries need a button to wake-up

• Battery state diagram

• Hot swapping / Hot plugging 

• Buffer with resistance?

• @TODO: Need to handle the case were the battery shuts off and the FMU CPU resets and turns the battery back on (FET on pin 2) (edited)
