Abstract

The invention relates to an electricity supply system for vehicles, which has a connector device that includes an electronic board provided with a data microprocessor; a plurality of connector plugs arranged in parallel and connected to one another to couple to a plurality of removable rechargeable batteries; a connection to the electronic board provided with a continuous current BUS to couple to the electrical system of the engine of the corresponding vehicle; and a discriminator such that the electronic board is able to identify the electrical supply from any of the plurality of removable batteries, such that when the rechargeable batteries are discharged or low they can be recharged from an external electricity source such as the general electricity grid.

Claims

1. Electricity supply system for vehicles that presents a connector device (1), which comprises:

an electronic board (2) provided with a data microprocessor;

a plurality of connector plugs (4) arranged in parallel and interconnected one to another to couple to a plurality rechargeable batteries;

characterized by the fact that the plurality of rechargeable batteries are removable (5);

having the connector device a connection linked to the electronic board provided with a continuous current BUS to couple to the electrical system of the engine of the corresponding vehicle; and

a discriminator such that the electronic board is able to discriminate the electrical supply from any of the plurality of removable batteries (5),

in such a way that when the rechargeable batteries (5) are discharged or low they can be independently recharged from an external electricity source such as the general electricity grid.

2. Electricity supply system for vehicles according to claim 1, characterized by the fact that it comprises temperature sensors associated to each one of the rechargeable batteries (5), which transmit to an electronic board (2) the captured data by means of a data interface.

3. Electricity supply system for vehicles according to claim 1, characterized by the fact that it comprises voltage sensors associated to each one of the rechargeable batteries (5) that transmit to the electronic board (2) the captured data by means of a data interface.

4. Electricity supply system for vehicles according to claim 1, characterized by the fact that the BUS includes isolator switches that allow the opening and closing of power circuits according to the state of charge of the rechargeable batteries (5).
