Zusammenfassung:A surgical system comprises a handpiece and a battery. The handpiece includes a body, a handpiece controller, and a handpiece connector with a first coupler, a handpiece voltage terminal, and a handpiece data terminal. The battery has a housing, a cell, a battery controller, and a battery connector with a second coupler to rotatably engage the first coupler, a battery voltage terminal, and a battery data terminal. The second coupler receives the first coupler at an initial radial position and permits rotation to a first secured radial position and a second secured radial position. Rotation from the initial radial position to the first secured radial position engages the voltage terminals to transmit power between the cell and the handpiece controller, and rotation to the second secured radial position engages the data terminals to communicate data between the controllers while maintaining engagement between the voltage terminals.
