And the cells 321 of the second rechargeable battery pack 30 are shaped differently from the cells 221 of the first rechargeable battery pack 20. In the present embodiment, the battery cells 321 of the second rechargeable battery pack are flat, and the battery cells 321 are sequentially stacked in the vertical direction. In other embodiments, the sheet-like cells may be curved in an arc. Cell 321 also includes a package for packaging the cell to prevent leakage of compounds within the cell. Specifically, the package may be an aluminum plastic film, but is not limited to the aluminum plastic film.
In some embodiments, such as the second rechargeable battery pack 30 shown in fig. 2, the energy density (pack energy/mass) of the electric core pack 32 is greater than 150 Wh/kg. Optionally, the energy density (energy/mass of the battery pack) of the electric core pack 32 is greater than 200 Wh/kg.

In some embodiments, the charging current of the second rechargeable battery pack 30 is greater than or equal to 80A. Optionally, the charging current of the second rechargeable battery pack 30 is greater than or equal to 100A.
Wherein the first rechargeable battery pack 20 has a first interface 23 that is adaptable to interface with the charger 10 and the second rechargeable battery pack 30 has a second interface 33 that is adaptable to interface with the charger. The first port 23 and the second port 33 have substantially the same port shape. In particular, the interface shape may be configured as a battery pack interface as shown in fig. 1 and 2. Specifically, the battery pack interface is formed on one upper surface of the housing and includes a power supply positive interface, a power supply negative interface, and a power supply communication interface.
The second rechargeable battery pack 30 has a different charging performance compared to the first rechargeable battery pack 20. The first rechargeable battery pack 20 has a first charging capability and the second rechargeable battery pack 30 has a second charging capability. Wherein the charging performance at least comprises at least one of the following electrical parameters: at least one of a charging current and a charging voltage. In addition, the second rechargeable battery pack 30 has a lower internal resistance than the first rechargeable battery pack 20. Specifically, the second rechargeable battery pack 30 is capable of outputting a similar or higher output voltage, but has a lower internal resistance, as compared to the first rechargeable battery pack 20.

However, when the second rechargeable battery pack 30 is powered by the first charger 101, the first charger 101 will supply power to the second rechargeable battery pack 30 at a current exceeding the rated current, which may result in an increase in the charging time of the second rechargeable battery pack 30, and the first charger 101 may heat up or even be damaged.

This charging system 100 includes a rechargeable battery pack (first rechargeable battery pack 20 or second rechargeable battery pack 30) and a charger (first charger 101 or second charger 102). Because the block circuit diagrams of the first rechargeable battery pack and the second rechargeable battery pack are identical, and the block circuit diagrams of the first charger 101 and the second charger 102 are identical, the block circuit diagrams of the first rechargeable battery pack 20 and the first charger 101 are taken as an example for explanation.

The charging identification module 1014 is configured to identify one of the first rechargeable battery pack 20 or the second rechargeable battery pack 30 accessed by the charger. The charging identification module 1014 is connected to the charging communication terminal 13. The charging identification module 1014 is able to communicate and sense the battery pack information through the charging communication terminal 23 and the attached battery pack to identify one of the first rechargeable battery pack 20 or the second rechargeable battery pack 30 to which the charger is attached and transmit the identification signal to the charging control module 1015. The information of the battery pack includes a model, a version, a cell configuration, and a battery type, such as a cylindrical cell battery or a flat cell battery.

In this embodiment, the mode of the charging current is changed by changing the resistance of the current control module 1016. If the resistance of the current control module 1016 changes, there are at least two alternative charging current modes: a first charging current mode in which the current of the first rechargeable battery pack 20 is relatively low, and a second charging current mode in which the charging current is higher than the current of the first charging current mode, wherein the charging current in the first charging mode is the first charging current; the charging current in the second charging mode is a second charging current.

The information of the battery pack includes a model, a version, a cell configuration, and a battery type, such as a cylindrical cell battery or a flat cell battery. In some embodiments, the charge identification module is a judgment resistor that divides the reference voltage together with the power identification module. The divided voltage is output as information of the battery pack.
