US Patent 11855469 Systems and methods for bidirectional charging

Aspects relate to a system for discharging a power source of an electric aircraft. System may be configured to transfer power from the electric aircraft via a charging connection. In one or more embodiments, a charging station in electric communication with the power source may discharge the power source. For example, a controller communicatively connected to the electric aircraft may be configured to receive a supply request from a user and subsequently, generate a control signal that initiates a transfer of electrical power from the power supply to discharge the power source so that power data associated with the discharge may be collected and transmitted to the controller or a remote device of the user.
