# Rechargeable power source for a load handling device

## Abstract

A load handling device for lifting and moving one or more containers stacked in a storage system with a grid framework structure supporting a plurality of tracks arranged in a grid pattern to define a grid structure above the one or more stacks of containers, the load handling device including: A) a driving mechanism; B) a vehicle body housing: i) a container receiving space located above the tracks; ii) a lifting device having a lifting drive assembly and a grabber; and iii) a cassette housing a rechargeable power source for powering the driving mechanism; wherein a thermal management system includes a temperature sensor and at least one temperature regulating device configured to maintain the temperature of the rechargeable power source.
