A tri-show event that included the Battery Show North America, Electric & Hybrid vehicle technology Expo, and the Critical Power expo concluded last week in Novi, Mich. and hosted numerous technical presentations and displays of interesting technology. Here are some of the more noteworthy developments we noticed on the exhibition floor. NEXT PAGE: All hail […]
Galvanic isolation for electric vehicle systems
High voltages and high currents circulating in EVs make the fundamentals of electrical isolation techniques an important topic. Ross Sabolcik, Silicon Labs AS automotive designs move toward electrification, high-wattage power electronics become critical to new electronic drivetrain and battery systems. In these applications, digital controllers safely interface with the high-voltage systems of modern electric vehicles […]
Primary lithium-manganese-dioxide cylindrical cell features long-term reliability
A high safety and energy density cell, the CR-AG offers important features within the meter market, particularly a long lifespan. This technology replaces thionyl chloride as standard battery. This cell utilizes Manganese-based cathode material to deliver better temperature tolerance so it can operate in harsh environments. For the CR-AG, features include: • High current pulse […]
Here’s what happens when lithium-ion batteries are drastically overcharged
Lithium batteries have a high energy density so they can store a lot of energy in a small volume. But they can go up in smoke when bad things happen. Recently we recorded a short video to show what can happen during one of those bad things – overcharging. Excessive charging can bring on thermal […]
Why the industrial IoT needs industrial lithium batteries
Advanced lithium battery technology delivers long-life power and high pulses to expand remote wireless connectivity throughout the Industrial Internet of Things. Sol Jacobs | Tadiran Batteries The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is largely influenced by advanced wireless devices and sensors. To a large extent, the rapid expansion of industrial connectivity is being driven by […]
Ultra-Low-Power battery protection IC targets wearables and small IoT devices
The GLF73510 IQSmart IC is designed to virtually eliminate wearable and IoT device battery discharge during standby or deep-sleep operation. The GLF73510 consumes an industry-leading ultra-low leakage current (ISD) of 2 nA (typ.), as much as 1,000 times less than other chips commonly used in this application. Applications for wearable and smaller IoT battery powered […]
