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 ...

The circuit was designed to create a spare and reserve power source with the use of batteries during the absence of power from the mains. BD139 – NPN power transistor used for driver stages in hi-fi ...

A battery that "talks" does not use words—it communicates through data. Researchers at Kiel University have demonstrated how ...

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 ...

How lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries behave under short-circuit conditions can now be examined using a new approach developed by a UCL-led team to help improve reliability and safety. The use of high ...

Solving the design challenge to efficiently deliver higher battery charge current in small portable applications, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) announced the first synchronous, ...

This circuit solved a problem encountered in developing a portable device with an ARM Cortex-M0 processor. The power supply consisted of two AA batteries (2 × 1.5 V), and I needed to signal the user ...

Researchers in Germany have developed a battery that can transmit information from inside the ...

We’re increasingly dependent upon our batteries, so finding ways of building ones with enhanced lifetimes would make a lot of people happy. Research on batteries has ranged from trying new materials ...

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 ...
