Abstract
A power source module comprises a plurality of socket modules, at least one exchangeable battery module, and at least one system control unit. The socket modules are connected in parallel. The exchangeable battery module can be arbitrarily inserted into one of the socket modules. The system control unit is configured to transmit an instruction signal for controlling a switch of the exchangeable battery module according to a state of charge of the exchangeable battery module, a sensing result, and operating information of an external device (for example, a motor or a charger), so as to charge or discharge only one exchangeable battery module during a charging and discharging period.
