A little known chemical reaction helps extend battery life. Sol Jacobs, Tadiran Batteries As remote wireless devices become increasingly essential to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), there is a growing need to understand the principles behind extended battery life. Many IIoT nodes require a battery-driven energy source. These off-grid low-power applications fall into two […]
The widely used Densi-Pak covered plastic battery holders now include the option to have a built-in On/Off switch. The built-in On/Off switch eliminates the need for additional components in designs using “AA” and “AAA” batteries – a candidate for self-contained powering components in a variety of applications. These high-performance Battery Holders are made with an […]
Connectors for electric vehicle (EV) charging are both standardized and changing. On one level, EV charging connectors are standardized based on today’s technology limitations. There are standards in major regional markets, including North America, Japan, the European Union, and China. But current charging technologies are power limited. This FAQ begins with a review of EV […]
Patients using blood pressure monitors and CPAP devices in non-clinical environments are protected by IEC 60601-1-11. Ron Stull, CUI Home medical devices can provide an excellent first line of defense when dealing with health and medical issues, and there is an increased need for at-home care for patients released from hospitals and other healthcare facilities.…
By Denis Larkin, Integra Sources Ltd. One of the purposes of battery management systems is to monitor the state-of-charge and state-of-health of rechargeable batteries. This article will tell you about these two metrics and the methods used to measure them. Rechargeable batteries are used in many solutions, but industries use battery management systems (BMSs) to […]
The underground mining landscape has shifted dramatically in recent years, with evolving battery technology acting as a catalyst to change in the industry. As part of the ongoing effort to lead the charge on this battery-electric transformation, Epiroc has imported the very first Boltec M Battery rig onto Canadian soil. The fully mechanized bolter is…
The new i-BMS Battery Management System from Lithium Balance, acquired by Sensata earlier in the year, is a cell chemistry agnostic, compact, integrated BMS developed for the cost-optimized mass-production of applications up to 60 V, such as two and three-wheelers, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and robotics. The i-BMS is a long-term solution for customers who […]
