The Battery Module is the fuel tank of the spacecraft, where electrical energy is stored. Spacecraft frequently pass through the shadow of the earth or need to point in directions other than the sun in order to fulfill their mission.
Built into the module is a complete battery health package, including heaters, sensors, and battery protection circuitry.
The 12V XL Battery is an expandable system, providing flexible storage options for 12V systems. The module consists of a control board, and 1 or more ‘slices’ of batteries. Each slide consists of a 3s2p battery pack
