Power system for mobile workstation

Abstract

A mobile powered workstation can include a head unit assembly that can have at least one power outlet configured to provide power to at least one electronic device. The workstation can include a power system coupled to the head unit assembly. The power system can include a permanent battery and a battery assembly. The battery assembly can include a battery connection housing that can have a plurality of power connectors configured to electrically couple to a corresponding plurality of power connectors of a replaceable battery, the battery connection housing can have a first face and a second face that extends from the first face. The first face can define a first raised portion configured to engage with a corresponding first recessed portion in the replaceable battery. The second face can define a second raised portion configured to engage with a corresponding second recessed portion in the replaceable battery.

1 . A battery connection system for a mobile workstation power system, the battery connection system comprising:
 a battery charging housing including:

 an elongated body ridge extending from the elongated body surface and having an upper receiver magnet; 
 
 a shelf extending from the elongated body surface, the shelf having a shelf surface, the shelf surface including:
 a shelf ridge extending from the shelf surface and having a lower receiver magnet; and 
 
 a housing power connector located on at least one of the elongated body surface or the shelf surface; and 
   a replaceable battery housing configured to protect a battery installed therein including:
 a rear face having a first notch that is engageable with the elongated body ridge, the first notch including an upper connection magnet; 
 a bottom face extending from the rear face, the bottom face having a second notch that is engageable with the shelf ridge, the second notch including a lower connection magnet; and 
 a battery housing power connector in electrical communication with the battery and located on at least one of the rear face or the bottom face; 
   wherein:   the upper receiver magnet and the upper connection magnet are magnetically coupled when the first notch of the replaceable battery housing is engaged with the elongated body ridge of the battery charging housing;   the lower receiver magnet and the lower connection magnet are magnetically coupled when the second notch of the replaceable battery housing is engaged with the elongated body ridge of the battery charging housing; and   the housing power connector and the battery housing power connector electrically couple the replaceable battery housing to the battery charging housing to charge the battery within the replaceable battery housing on condition that the first notch of the replaceable battery housing is engaged with the elongated body ridge of the battery charging housing and the second notch of the replaceable battery housing is engaged with the elongated body ridge of the battery charging housing.   
     
     
         2 . The battery connection system of  claim 1 , wherein the housing power connector includes one or more pins extending from the battery charging housing. 
     
     
         3 . The battery connection system of  claim 2 , wherein the battery housing power connector includes one or more pads, each of the one or more pads configured to engage with one of the one or more pins of the battery charging housing. 
     
     
         4 . The battery connection system of  claim 1 , wherein the upper receiver magnet is formed in the elongated body ridge. 
     
     
         5 . The battery connection system of  claim 1 , wherein the lower receiver magnet is formed in the shelf ridge. 
     
     
         6 . The battery connection system of  claim 1 , wherein the upper receiver magnet and the lower receiver magnet include ferromagnetic materials. 
     
     
         7 . The battery connection system of  claim 1 , wherein the upper connection magnet and the lower connection include ferromagnetic materials. 
     
     
         8 . The battery connection system of  claim 1 , wherein the elongated body ridge is positioned at least partially within the first notch when the replaceable battery housing is attached to the battery charging housing. 
     
     
         9 . The battery connection system of  claim 1 , wherein the shelf ridge is positioned at least partially within the second notch when the replaceable battery housing is attached to the battery charging housing. 
     
     
         10 . The battery connection system of  claim 1 , wherein the battery charging housing includes a bottom comprising a bottom surface having a first power connector, a second power connector, and a data connector. 
     
     
         11 . The battery connection system of  claim 1 , wherein the replaceable battery housing further comprises a top face opposite the bottom face, the top face having a handle formed therein.
