Lithium cells outperform Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride in almost every way. But they also need a little bit more babysitting to get the most out of them. That comes in the form of control… ...

Each component makes something happen using electricity. The picture above shows a circuit with a bulb and a battery cell in. The diagram next to it shows the symbols for each of these components.

This circuit diagram joins a cell, a switch and two bulbs. Click on the next slide to see what the circuit might look like if you built it.

A battery backup for the solar-mains hybrid lamp design that supplies a constant light output regardless of available solar ...

Configuration of telecom DC power systems Figure 1 depicts the block diagram of a battery-powered DC system. The main components are the battery, battery disconnect circuit breaker, charger-rectifier, ...

Battery cell open circuit voltage (OCV) is an important measurement made on the cell during manufacturing to determine cell performance quickly and reliably. Download our application note to learn ...

Battery management system (BMS) plays an important role in ensuring safe and efficient operation and long-term liveliness of the battery over thousands of charging cycles. Active equalization and cell ...

Short circuits were initiated inside the batteries at ~60 degrees C. During the failure process, cell temperatures reached in excess of 1085 degrees C.

Single lithium-ion batteries typically have a lower voltage, so multiple batteries are often connected in series to achieve the required voltage level. To address the voltage imbalance caused by ...
