Smartphones, electric vehicles and many portable devices rely on batteries. Their energy storage capacity, lifetime and ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials have uncovered how lithium dendrites ...

Over the last couple of decades the use of rechargeable batteries has grown enormously, and for most common applications there are ASICs[1] which control battery management with very little additional ...

One of the main components in the construction of this circuit is the transformer which is rated with 230V/10V with a given current of 0.5A. It will handle the transfer of electrical energy from one ...

Because stationary batteries and 48VDC power systems serve as lifelines for telecommunication networks, the reliability of these systems is of the utmost importance. Many system designers rely on ...

This is probably fairly straightforward for an EE to weigh in on so I thought I’d post this question here for posterity in the hopes that it’ll solve the issue for other designers. The challenge is ...

The development of lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology to meet the demanding storage and delivery requirements of energy, industrial, and automotive systems has spurred demand for safer, higher ...

How lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries behave under short-circuit conditions can now be examined using a new approach to help improve reliability and safety. How lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries behave ...

I will be talking about single-series (1sXp) cell configurations, for a simple reason – multiple-series configurations are not something I consider myself as having worked extensively with. The single ...

Testing a Li-ion battery charger using its natural load (i.e., a battery) is time consuming because the charging process can take an hour or more. The test time varies widely, depending on whether you ...

There are high hopes for the next generation of high energy-density lithium metal batteries, but before they can be used in our vehicles, there are crucial problems to solve. An international research ...
