Abstract
An Automatic Exchanging and Charging Station (AECS) for replenishing electrical energy sources onboard electric powered RC vehicles is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the automatic exchanging and charging station includes a rack, replaceable batteries, a service module, and an electronic computer control system. The replaceable batteries are stocked on the rack and substantially charged as energy sources within RC vehicles. The service module is mounted on the rack, and the electronic computer control system is connected in electrical communication with the service module. In this configuration, the service module is controllably operable to receive a depleted replaceable battery from a RC vehicle and also selectively deliver one of the charged replaceable batteries onboard the RC vehicle. In another embodiment, the service station facility may also stock replaceable energy cells such as capacitors for selective delivery onboard RC vehicles.
