How to Manufacture a Lithium Ion Battery

Lithium-ion batteries are common in consumer electronics, especially for applications that require a portable power source. They have an excellent energy-to-weight ratio and lose their charge slowly over time. Lithium-ion batteries can be recharged by moving the lithium ions from the negative electrode (cathode) to the positive electrode (anode). Lithium-ion batteries come in a variety [...]

Tips: How to Improve the Battery Fuel Gauge

Most cottages in the countryside are heated by burning wood in a simple stone hearth. The desired heat is controlled by the feeding of wood. Today computers manage heating systems in large buildings and the boiler has become almost secondary. A similar trend is evolving with batteries. Increasingly, batteries are being controlled by a device [...]

Testing Lithium-based Batteries

With the large number of lithium-ion batteries in use and the population growing rapidly, developing an effective testing method has become an urgent task. QuickSort™ (Cadex) is a further development of QuickTest™ using a generic matrix. The simplification was made possible by limiting the battery population to single-cell Li-ion from 500 to 1,500mAh. (Larger cells and higher [...]

Advantages and Limitations of Lithium Polymer Battery

Lithium polymer battery has not caught on as quickly as some analysts had expected. Its superiority to other systems and low manufacturing costs has not been realized. No improvements in capacity gains are achieved – in fact, the capacity is slightly less than that of the standard lithium-ion battery. Lithium-ion-polymer finds its market niche in [...]

Is Lithium-ion the Ideal Battery?

For many years, nickel-cadmium had been the only suitable battery for portable equipment from wireless communications to mobile computing. Nickel-metal-hydride and lithium-ion emerged In the early 1990s, fighting nose-to-nose to gain customer’s acceptance. Today, lithium-ion is the fastest growing and most promising battery chemistry. The lithium-ion battery Pioneer work with the lithium battery began in [...]

Prolonging Your Lithium-ion Battery Life

For every product manufactured on earth comes with a manual. And these manuals are meant to guide us, help us, inform us and safeguard us concerning the usage of that product. This is not farfetched from lithium ion batteries that are currently manufactured by us. As we already know that almost every digital device we [...]
