Abstract

An electrical power source for a firearm includes a housing, one or more rechargeable power cells stored inside the housing, and a microcontroller unit that receives data on a condition of the one or more rechargeable power cells. A network interface controller embeds the data onto an electrical circuit that is configured to be received by a firearm accessory mounted to the firearm. The data embedded on the electrical circuit is usable by the firearm accessory to provide a status of the electrical power source.
