Abstract

Three chemistries are used extensively in today`s portable telecommunication devices: nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride, and lithium-ion. Nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride batteries (also referred to as nickel-based batteries) are well known while lithium-ion batteries are less known. An universal charging algorithm should satisfactorily charge all chemistries while providing recognition among them. Total Battery Management, Inc. (TBM) has developed individual charging algorithms for nickel-based and lithium-ion batteries and a procedure for recognition, if necessary, to incorporate in an universal algorithm. TBM`s charging philosophy is the first to understand the battery from the chemical point of view and then provide an electronic solution.

Advanced algorithms and hardware for intelligent batteries

Conference S, D; Stolitzka, D

New portable gadget introductions for the home, office and industrial work-site have put a spotlight on batteries. Most of these tools and equipment tend to use rechargeable (secondary) batteries because it`s cost-effective over the lifetime of the product. Manufacturers who use rechargeable batteries also need advanced electronics to accurately predict a battery`s fuel capacity and quickly recharge the battery. All of this capability is needed in a compact, cost-effective package. National Semiconductor is introducing packaged solutions that meet a user`s needs. This paper discusses the problem and shows how a joint hardware and firmware package solves a wide range ofmore »« less
High performance polymer electrolytes for new types of lithium batteries

Conference Scrosati, B; Appetecchi, G

Long-life, environmentally friendly, low-cost reliable batteries are today urgently required to meet some crucial demands of modern society, which include the need of a large diffusion of electric cars in urban areas and the request of reliable and safe power sources for a large variety of portable consumer electronic devices. Batteries based on the combination of a lithium metal (or of a lithiated carbon) anode and a lithium intercalation cathode, have in principle the requisites to meet these requirements. Indeed, a first generation of lithium batteries using the rocking chair concept and generally called lithium ion batteries is already amore »« less
Battery developments: The positive connection to a greener future

Journal Article Tonneson, L; Fox, G - Elements

Extraordinary innovations are being made in the performance of today`s portable electronic equipment. But, although electronics manufacturers have been leaping generations ahead of themselves technologically, they are still forced to look back to see battery technology struggling to close the distance that ever widens with each new electronics breakthrough. The need to improve battery performance, namely in the area of battery longevity, has stemmed from a growing consumer demand and has become one of the electronics industry`s newest challenges. Battery manufactures like Duracell, Ovonic Battery Company (OBC), Ergenics, Matsushita, and Sony Corporation are answering the call with research and developmentmore »« less
Charging the new batteries -- IC controllers track new technologies

Conference Mammano, R

Demands for portability have fueled significant developments in new battery technology. These developments have resulted in many more options in selecting the battery type for use in a particular project, but since most applications today are opting for rechargeable battery systems, the availability of battery charging solutions can become an equally important criteria in the selection process. Complicating this process are the demands for fast-but safe-charging with charge algorithms easily implemented with low-cost hardware. With the higher levels of complexity attendant with these more demanding algorithms, solutions have come primarily from the integrated circuit industry and the purpose of thismore »« less
Power on the move NiCd and NiMH small sealed rechargeable batteries

Conference Puglisi, V

Society is becoming increasingly addicted to life on the go. Both at home and on the job, we expect to have a full range of electrical and electronic devices available no matter where we are. Meeting this demand for mobility has spurred growth in small rechargeable batteries. Although mobile computing and portable communications applications for batteries are most prominent, other battery-powered devices such as power tools, consumer appliances, and toys are all experiencing significant growth in volume. The recent improvement in performance is shown in Figure 1 which plots the capacity increase over the last generation. The {open_quotes}baseline{close_quotes} is themore »« less
