Abstract
A gas engine replacement device includes a housing, a battery receptacle coupled to the housing and configured to removably connect to a battery pack having a memory storing battery pack configuration data, a motor located within the housing, a power take-off shaft receiving torque from the motor and protruding from a side of the housing, a power switching network configured to selectively provide power from the battery pack to the motor, and a first electronic processor coupled to the power switching network and configured to control the power switching network to rotate the motor. The first electronic processor is configured to receive the battery pack configuration data responsive to a connection of the battery pack to the battery receptacle and control the power switching network based on the battery pack configuration data.
