Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure include control systems for controlling secondary lithium metal batteries and for controlling electric devices powered, at least in part, thereby, that enable access to reserve energy stored in the lithium metal battery that is not typically available during normal operation. In some examples, the control systems provide access to the reserve energy in response to an emergency, such as requiring excess energy to power an electric device to a safe location.
