Battery-powered, mobile systems rely on their batteries and battery chargers for reliable operation. Unfortunately, use of the actual battery makes it difficult for design engineers to perform a ...

Many new products are incorporating Lithium-based batteries for the high performance and light weight characteristics they offer. In fact, many of the more sophisticated applications involve ...

You may lack experience and hardware when designing battery-operated products. The battery life of a product can depend more on the ESR (equivalent series resistance) than the terminal voltage. This ...

The rechargeable battery simulator from Tektronix emulates a battery from full charge to total discharge using a battery model that includes state of charge, amp-hour capacity, equivalent series ...

Testing a Li-ion battery charger using its natural load (i.e., a battery) is time consuming because the charging process can take an hour or more. The test time varies widely, depending on whether you ...

A Li-ion battery pack (green T-shaped arrangement) in an electric hybrid must maximize power capacity but fit into a tight space, making cooling and temperature controls more critical. In front of the ...

In this course, you will learn the purpose of each component in an equivalent-circuit model of a lithium-ion battery cell, how to determine their parameter values from lab-test data, and how to use ...
