SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRANSFERRING INFORMATION AND POWER TO A COMMUNICATIONS MODULE WITHIN A POWER TOOL SYSTEM

摘要

A system includes a communications module having a first interface and a second interface. The first interface is on an opposite surface of the communications module from the second interface. The system also includes a battery pack to receive power tool operating information, where the battery pack removably couples with the communications module via the second interface. The battery pack transfers a portion of the power tool operating information and/or a portion of battery pack operating information to the communications module via the second interface. The system also includes a charger module to removably couple with the communications module via the first interface, where the charger module recharges the battery pack through the first and second interfaces of the communications module.
