Currently, rechargeable batteries are widely used in various fields of technology. They are created by connecting batteries in parallel into blocks, and then sequentially connecting blocks into batteries. The batteries produced by the industry have a technological variation of parameters and the connection of batteries into blocks should not be made randomly, but taking into account their individual parameters. The article discusses the creation of a hardware and software complex based on an industrial robot arm designed to extract batteries from an array of batteries with known parameters and install them in cells of an assembly cassette in a sequence that takes into account the individual parameters of the batteries. Both the hardware and the software part of the battery transfer complex are being considered. The adjustment of the manipulator to the possible displacement of the batteries in the storage area and the assembly cassette is carried out through the use of technical vision.

The article examines the problem of power supply of low-power devices remote from stationary power sources. The structural solutions of autonomous power supply systems of high and low power, which use renewable energy sources, are considered. It is shown that in autonomous micro and low-power power supply systems, MPPT-type controllers do not provide technical and economic advantages compared to controllers in which, due to simple structural and circuit design solutions, the necessary but sufficient minimum of functions for charging and discharging the energy storage of the power supply system is implemented. The models of circuit solutions of the controller nodes are presented, which implement the necessary minimum of functions for charging and discharging the energy storage device and the results of experimental studies showing the operability of the proposed circuit solutions.
