The present disclosure generally relates to the field of electrical connectors. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to the field of supply circuit connection and disconnection.
Many people use devices that require a battery for energy, such as marine motors, recreational vehicles, all-terrain vehicles, golf carts, automobiles, heavy equipment, generators, agricultural equipment, and other industrial devices. For example, people who fish often use a trolling motor that requires a 12-volt battery to run. However, when extensive, continuous use of a motor, such as a trolling motor, is required, a single battery may run out of energy while the person still needs to use the motor. Fortunately, connecting two or more batteries can lengthen the battery life. However, connecting two batteries together is currently a confusing process and can lead to damage to the battery or other equipment. Additionally, it can lead to physical injury to the person attempting to connect the batteries. A system and method is needed that permits a user to efficiently, and safely, connect and disconnect extra batteries when extended battery life or increased voltage is required and that provides a user with the option to utilize a standard parallel voltage connection.
Additionally, there are a variety of situations in which people simultaneously run a plurality of devices that require a battery for power. For example, people who fish often use a trolling motor, depth finder, radio, running lights, and GPS, all of which require a 12-volt battery. Unfortunately, in order to connect a plurality of devices to a battery, each device must connect via its own independent wire lead, terminals, and independent fuse block. Additionally, even when turned off, connected devices may continue to drain the battery they are connected to. A system and method is needed where a user can efficiently, and safely, connect and disconnect a plurality of devices to a battery, and wherein no drain occurs to the battery when devices are connected, but not in use.
One example of the disclosed device is a connection system that can connect two batteries in series using a wire bridge system that is mated to a pair of connectors on each battery. The mated battery connectors can ensure a one-way connection and eliminate an incorrect connection, thus creating a quick and easy setup that is safe to use. For example, the present disclosure can be used to convert two 12-volt batteries into a 24-volt system. Additional bridging wire can also be utilized to convert three or more 12-volt batteries into a larger voltage system. For example, three 12-volt batteries can be connected in series to create a 36-volt system. In addition to creating a larger voltage system, the connectors can also include wire leads that are attached to the wire bridge system to create a 12-volt parallel connection.
A second example of the disclosed device is a connection system that can connect two or more batteries in parallel using a parallel wire bridge system that is mated to a pair of connectors on each battery. The mated battery connectors can ensure a one-way connection and eliminate an incorrect connection, thus creating a quick and easy setup that is safe to use. For example, the present disclosure can be used to convert two 12-volt batteries into a 12-volt system that lasts twice as a long a single 12-volt battery. Additional bridging wire can also be utilized to convert three or more 12-volt batteries into a larger capacity system. In addition to creating a larger capacity system, the connectors can also include wire leads that are attached to the bridge system to create a 12-volt parallel connection.
A third example of the disclosed device converts one 12-volt connection into a multi-device 12-volt system. This system includes two connection blocks that connect to each other, wherein a first connection block is mated to two sets of independent wire leads, each set combined into one connection point, and a second connection block is mated to two independent wires that both connect to a 12-volt battery. The connection blocks ensure a one-way connection and eliminate an incorrect connection, thus creating a quick and easy setup. The independent wire leads can be non-fused or can be fused together at the connection point on the connection block and can be of varying size and length. Therefore, one 12-volt battery connection can be connected to a plurality of devices from one connection point at the battery.
Various embodiments will be described in detail with references to drawings, wherein like reference numerals represent like parts and assemblies throughout the several views. Reference to various embodiments does not limit the scope of the claims attached hereto. Additionally, any examples set forth in this specification are not intended to be limiting and merely set forth some of the many possible embodiments for the appended claims. It is understood that various omissions and substitutions of equivalents are contemplated as circumstances may suggest or render expedient, but these are intended to cover application or embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the claims attached hereto. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology used herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
Multi-Battery Connection System: Series
In general, the complete multi-battery connection system can connect two or more batteries in series to increase the available voltage. In one embodiment, as illustrated in
More specifically, in one embodiment, the series wire bridge system 300, 400 includes at least two connection blocks 10, a series bridging wire 22 with a terminal connector 12 covered with shrink wire wrap 14 on each end of the series bridging wire 22, the series bridging wire 22 connecting the first connection block 10 and the second connection block 10 via the two terminal connectors 12, a positive, or red, wire lead 24 attached on one end to a connector 28, such as, but not limited to, a butt splice, ring terminal, ferrule, or other electrical connector, and on the other end, via a terminal connector 12 covered with shrink wire wrap 14, to the first connection block 10, and a negative, or black, wire lead 26 attached on one end to a connector 28, such as, but not limited to, a butt splice, ring terminal, ferrule, or other electrical connector, and on the other end, via a terminal connector 12 covered with shrink wire wrap 14, to the second connection block 10.
In some embodiments, the terminal connectors 12 are not covered with shrink wire wrap 14. Further, the positive wire lead 24 and the negative wire lead 26 can be wire leads of other colors. More specifically, the wire leads 24 and 26 will have identifiable colors that indicate which color wire lead is the positive side wire lead that connects to the positive side and which color wire lead is the negative side wire lead that connects to the negative side, as required by local electrical codes. For example, instead of red and black, the positive wire lead 24 can be brown and the negative wire lead 26 can be grey, as required in the United Kingdom.
In one embodiment, a mated battery side connector 500 includes a connection block 10, a positive, or red, wire 18 attached on one end to a terminal lug connector 16 covered with shrink wire wrap 14 and on the other end, via a terminal connector 12 covered with shrink wire wrap 14, to the connection block 10, and a negative, or black, wire 20 attached on one end to a terminal lug connector 16 covered with shrink wire wrap 14 and on the other end, via a terminal connector 12 covered with shrink wire wrap 14, to the connection block 10. In some embodiments, the terminal lug connectors 16 and/or the terminal connectors 12 are not covered with shrink wire wrap 14. Once again, the positive wire 18 and the negative wire 20 do not have to be red and black, but can have colors that correspond to local electric codes such as brown and grey.
In one embodiment of the series wire bridge system 300, 400, the positive wire lead 24 and the negative wire lead 26 are of equal length. In another embodiment, the positive wire lead 24 and the negative wire lead 26 are different lengths. However, regardless of the wire lengths relative to each other, both the positive wire lead 24 and the negative wire lead 26 can be any varying length as needed in application. As described above, the positive wire lead 24 and the negative wire lead 26 can each be connected to separate connection blocks 10. Each wire lead can connect on one end to a connection block 10 via a terminal connector 12, wherein the terminal connector 12 is attached to the end of the wire lead. In some embodiments, the terminal connector 12 is attached to the end of the wire lead using shrink wire wrap 14. The ends of the positive wire lead 24 and the negative wire lead 26 that are not connected to a connection block 10 can be connected, via a connector 28, to a load, such as a motor's cable or a charging station that charges the batteries. Further, the positive wire lead 24 can connect to the positive terminal of the first connection block 10 and the negative wire lead 26 can connect to the negative terminal of the last connection block 10, as illustrated in
In one embodiment, as illustrated in
In one embodiment of the series wire bridge system 300, the positive wire lead 24 is crimped on one end and secured to the terminal connector 12 using shrink wire wrap 14 and, on the other end, is crimped and secured to a connector 28, such as, but not limited to, a butt splice, ring terminal, ferrule, or other electrical connector, using, for example, shrink wire wrap 14, as illustrated in
In one embodiment of the mated battery side connector 500, the positive wire 18 and negative wire 20 are of different lengths, with the positive wire 18 being shorter than the negative wire 20, as illustrated in
More specifically, each of the mated battery side connectors 500 includes a connection block 10 with a positive wire 18 and a negative wire 20 that are crimped on their first ends and secured to terminal connectors 12 using, for example, shrink wire wrap 14.
In one embodiment, the multi-battery connection system 100 easily connects two or more batteries 32 in series. More specifically, the mated battery side connector 500 can be left affixed to a battery 32 with its connection block 10 disconnected from another connection block 10. The series wire bridge system 300, 400 can also be left intact and affixed to a load, such as, but not limited to, a motor's cables or a charging station, with its connection block 10 disconnected from another connection block 10. Therefore, when a user desires to create a plurality of supply circuits, the user simply has to connect the two connection blocks 10 to each other. While 24- and 36-volt systems are described herein, it is appreciated that additional series bridging wires 22 can be added to a base 24-volt system to create any voltage system in 12-volt increments (ex: 36-volt, 48-volt, 60-volt, 72-volt, etc.). Additionally, smaller or larger voltage batteries can be connected in series using the described system. Given the electrical nature of the multi-battery series connection system 100, 200, in some embodiments, the system 100, 200 can be a sealed and/or waterproof system.
Therefore, the full series connection system setup for two batteries 32 includes a first mated battery side connector 500 with a first connection block 10 and connected to a first battery 32 through the use of two terminal lug connectors 16; the second mated battery side connector 500 with a second connection block 10 and connected to the second battery 32 through the use of two terminal lug connectors 16; the positive wire lead 24 connected to a load, such as a motor's cable or a charging station, and a third connection block 10; the negative wire lead 26 connected to a load, such as a motor's cable or a charging station, and a fourth connection block 10; the series bridging wire 22 connecting the third and fourth connection blocks 10; and the third and fourth connection blocks 10 of the series wire bridge system 300 pairing with, and connected to, the first and second connection blocks 10 of the mated battery side connectors 500. Once these connections are made, the user has a 24-volt battery system.
The full series connection system setup for three batteries 32 includes a first mated battery side connector 500 with a first connection block 10 and connected to a first battery 32 through the use of two terminal lug connectors 16, the second mated battery side connector 500 with a second connection block 10 and connected to the second battery 32 through the use of the terminal lug connectors 16, the third mated battery side connector 500 with a third connection block 10 and connected to the third battery 32 through the use of the terminal lug connectors 16, the positive wire lead 24 connected to a load, such as a motor's cable or a charging station, and a fourth connection block 10, the first series bridging wire 22 connecting the fourth connection block 10 and a fifth connection block 10, the negative wire lead 26 connected to a load, such as a motor's cable or a charging station, and a sixth connection block 10, the second series bridging wire 22 connecting the fifth connection block 10 and the sixth connection block 10, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth connection blocks 10 of the series wire bridge system 400 pairing with and connecting to the first, second, and third connection blocks 10 of the mated battery side connectors 500. Once these connections are made, the user has a 36-volt battery system.
In one embodiment, as illustrated in
In one embodiment, the secondary connection system 2000, 2100 connects two or more batteries 32 in series and offers up to two parallel connections, one off of each battery 32, each connection to a load 38. To connect two batteries 32, as illustrated in
To connect three batteries 32, as illustrated in
In some embodiments of the secondary connection system 2000, 2100, a user can also connect a load 38, such as a motor or charging station, to the secondary connection system 2000, 2100 in parallel. To make this connection, the user can first connect the second positive wire lead 34 that is attached to a connection block 10 to a first cable on the load 38. The user can next connect the second negative wire lead 36 that is attached to the connection block 10 to a second cable on the load 38. The user then has a parallel connection between the secondary connection system 2000, 2100 and the load 38. Similar to the multi-battery connection system 100, 200, in some embodiments, the secondary connection system 2000, 2100 can be a sealed and/or waterproof system.
Multi-Battery Connection System: Parallel
In general, the complete multi-battery connection system can, in some embodiments, connect two or more batteries in parallel to increase the available capacity (amp hours). In one embodiment, as illustrated in
More specifically, in one embodiment, the parallel wire bridge system 3500, 3600 includes at least two connection blocks 10; two parallel bridging wires 40, wherein a first parallel bridging wire 40 with a terminal connector 12 covered with shrink wire wrap 14 and on each end of the parallel bridging wire 40 connects the first connection block 10 to the second connection block 10 via the positive terminal of two terminal connectors 12, and wherein a second parallel bridging wire 40, in a similar manner to the first parallel bridging wire 40, connects the first connection block 10 to the second connection block 10 via the negative terminal of two terminal connectors 12; a positive, or red, wire lead 24 attached on one end to a connector 28, such as, but not limited to, a butt splice, ring terminal, ferrule, or other electrical connector, and on the other end, via a terminal connector 12 covered with shrink wire wrap 14, to the positive terminal of the first connection block 10; and a negative, or black, wire lead 26 attached on one end to a connector 28, such as, but not limited to, a butt splice, ring terminal, ferrule, or other electrical connector, and on the other end, via a terminal connector 12 covered with shrink wire wrap 14, to the negative terminal of the first connection block 10.
In some embodiments, the terminal connectors 12 are not covered with shrink wire wrap 14. Further, the positive wire lead 24 and the negative wire lead 26 can be wire leads of other colors. More specifically, the wire leads 24 and 26 will have identifiable colors that indicate which color wire lead is the positive side wire lead that connects to the positive side and which color wire lead is the negative side wire lead that connects to the negative side, as required by local electrical codes. For example, instead of red and black, the positive wire lead 24 can be brown and the negative wire lead 26 can be grey, as required in the United Kingdom.
The parallel system, similar to the series system, uses a mated battery side connector 500 for each connection block 10, as illustrated in
In one embodiment, as illustrated in
In a two-battery system, there are two parallel bridging wires 40 connecting two connection blocks 10. In a three-battery system, there are four parallel bridging wires 40 connecting three connection blocks 10 to make the parallel wire bridge system 3600, as illustrated in

In some embodiments, shrink wire wrap 14 is not used for one or more of the above-described connections. The positive wire lead 24 and the negative wire lead 26 can connect to a load, such as a motor or a charging station, using terminal lug connectors 16 that are attached to one end of the positive wire lead 24 and one end of the negative wire lead 26. More specifically, a user can connect a load, such as a motor or charging station, to the connection system 3300, 3400 in parallel. To make this connection, the user can first connect the positive wire lead 24 that is attached to the positive terminal of the first connection block 10 to a first cable on the load. The user can next connect the negative wire lead 26 that is attached to the negative terminal of the first connection block 10 to a second cable on the load. The user then has a parallel connection between the connection system 3300, 3400 and the load.
In one embodiment, the multi-battery parallel connection system 3300, 3400 easily connects two or more batteries 32 in parallel. More specifically, the mated battery side connector 500 can be left affixed to a battery 32 with its connection block 10 disconnected from another connection block 10. The wire bridge system 3500, 3600 can also be left intact with its connection blocks 10 disconnected from their paired connection blocks 10 on the two or more batteries 32. Therefore, when a user desires to create a plurality of supply circuits, the user simply has to connect the paired connection blocks 10 to each other. While two- and three-battery systems are described herein, it is appreciated that additional parallel bridging wires 40 can be added to a base two-battery system to create any larger capacity system. Additionally, smaller or larger voltage batteries can be connected in parallel using the described system. Given the electrical nature of the multi-battery parallel connection system 3300, 3400, in some embodiments, the system 3300, 3400 can be a sealed and/or waterproof system.
Therefore, the full connection system setup for two batteries 32 includes a first mated battery side connector 500 with a first connection block 10 and connected to a first battery 32 through the use of two terminal lug connectors 16; the second mated battery side connector 500 with a second connection block 10 and connected to the second battery 32 through the use of two terminal lug connectors 16; the positive wire lead 24 connected to a load, such as a motor's cable or a charging station, and the positive terminal of a third connection block 10; the negative wire lead 26 connected to a load, such as a motor's cable or a charging station, and the negative terminal of the third connection block 10; first and second parallel bridging wires 40 connecting the third and fourth connection blocks 10; and the third and fourth connection blocks 10 of the parallel wire bridge system 3500 pairing with, and connected to, the first and second connection blocks 10 of the mated battery side connectors 500. Once these connections are made, the user has a two-battery parallel system. To disconnect the parallel wire bridge system 3500 from the batteries 32, a user can unplug the connection blocks 10 from each other.
The full connection system setup for three batteries 32 includes a first mated battery side connector 500 with a first connection block 10 and connected to a first battery 32 through the use of two terminal lug connectors 16, the second mated battery side connector 500 with a second connection block 10 and connected to the second battery 32 through the use of the terminal lug connectors 16, the third mated battery side connector 500 with a third connection block 10 and connected to the third battery 32 through the use of the terminal lug connectors 16, the positive wire lead 24 connected to a load, such as a motor's cable or a charging station, and the positive terminal of a fourth connection block 10, the negative wire lead 26 connected to a load, such as a motor's cable or a charging station, and the negative terminal of the fourth connection block 10, the first and second parallel bridging wires 40 connecting the fourth connection block 10 and a fifth connection block 10, the third and fourth bridging wires 40 connecting the fifth connection block 10 and the sixth connection block 10, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth connection blocks 10 of the parallel wire bridge system 3600 pairing with and connecting to the first, second, and third connection blocks 10 of the mated battery side connectors 500. Once these connections are made, the user has a three-battery system. To disconnect the parallel wire bridge system 3600 from the batteries 32, a user can unplug the connection blocks 10 from each other.
Multi-Device Connection System
In general, the disclosed multi-device connection system 2400, 2500 can convert one battery connection into a multi-device battery system by connecting a battery 32 to multiple devices in parallel. In one embodiment, as illustrated in
More specifically, in one embodiment, the multi-device connector 2600, 2700 includes a connection block 10, two or more positive, or red, wire leads 2402, 2502, each positive wire lead 2402, 2502 attached on one end to a wire terminal 2406 and on the other end, via a terminal connector 12 covered with shrink wire wrap 14, to the connection block 10, and two or more negative, or black, wire leads 2404, each negative wire lead 2404 attached on one end to a wire terminal 2406 and on the other end, via a terminal connector 12 covered with shrink wire wrap 14, to the connection block 10. In one embodiment, as illustrated in
In some embodiments, shrink wire wrap 14 is not used for one or more of the above-described connections. Further, the positive wire leads 2402, 2502 and the negative wire lead 2404 can be wire leads of other colors. More specifically, the wire leads 2402, 2502 and 2404 will have identifiable colors that indicate which color wire lead is the positive side wire lead that connects to the positive side and which color wire lead is the negative side wire lead that connects to the negative side, as required by local electrical codes. For example, instead of red and black, the positive wire leads 2402, 2502 can be brown and the negative wire lead 2404 can be grey, as required in the United Kingdom.
In one embodiment of the multi-device connection system 2400, 2500, the positive wire leads 2402, 2502 and the negative wire leads 2404 are of equal length and wire gauge. In another embodiment, they are of different lengths. However, regardless of the wire lengths relative to each other, both the positive wire leads 2402, 2502 and the negative wire leads 2404 can be any varying length as needed in application. As described above, the positive wire leads 2402, 2502 and the negative wire leads 2406 can each be connected to the same connection block 10. For example, a terminal connector 12 can be crimped to the ends of each wire lead and covered with, for example, shrink wire wrap 14, therefore sealing the wire leads to the terminal connectors 12. In some embodiments, shrink wire wrap 14 is not used. The sealed combination of the positive wire leads 2402, 2502 and terminal connectors 12 can then be inserted and locked into a terminal connector slot 30 on the positive terminal of the connection block 10. The sealed combination of the negative wire leads 2404 and terminal connectors 12 can also be inserted and locked into a terminal connector slot 30 on the negative terminal of the connection block 10. The ends of each wire lead that are not connected to a connection block 10 can be connected to a wire terminal 2406, as illustrated in
Therefore, the full connection setup for a multi-device connection system 2400, 2500 when connected to a battery 32 includes a mated battery side connector 500 with a first connection block 10 and connected to a battery 32 through the use of two terminal lug connectors 16, fused or non-fused positive wire leads 2402, 2502 connected to devices' power cables and the positive terminal of a second connection block 10, the negative wire leads 2404 connected to devices' power cables and the negative terminal of the second connection block 10, and the second connection block 10 of the multi-device connector 2600, 2700 paired and connected to the first connection block 10 of the mated battery side connector 500. Once these connections are made, the user has a fused or non-fused multi-device connection system. To disconnect the multi-device connector 2600, 2700 from the battery 32, a user can unplug the connection blocks 10 from each other.
In one embodiment, the disclosed multi-battery connection system is made of components using tinned marine wire, tinned copper-coated electrical terminals, 2:1 reduction wire protection shrink tape and a connection block 10. However, the various components of the multi-battery connection system 100, 200 and multi-device connection system 2400, 2500 can be made of different quality materials. Additionally, each connection systems 100, 200, 2000, 2100, 2400, 2500, 3300, 3400 can be integrated into a complete wire harness or can exist as a standalone unit, utilizing supplemental or integrated fuse protection, illustrated in
