De-Coupled Hybridcell System

Although secondary rechargeable battery technology and microprocessors have become progressively cheaper; a general inefficiency of the implementation and adoption of a Hybrid Cell Battery design is the waste of components (which are relatively “unworn”) at the end of the useful life of the reserve section. Secondary batteries, with hundreds or thousands of charge cycles, are now commonplace, and microprocessors are found cheaply and in abundance; and yet the need for reusing these longer-lived components (i.e. to decrease costs and waste), has not yet been obviated. This invention, which de-couples a hybrid cell into its major components, allows for the straightforward affixation, removal, activation, and monitoring of said components. This decoupling serves many useful purposes; reserve batteries (not yet being activated) have a shelf life exceeding many times that of primary and secondary batteries; therefore, one may store the “reserve section(s)” virtually indefinitely, for use at a moment's notice; with the added benefit of generally having a higher power density.
