Batteries can be connected in series, parallel, or a combination of both, in order to give different power characteristics to ...

For those willing to put some elbow grease into it, there is an almost unlimited supply of 18650 lithium ion batteries around for cheap (or free) just waiting to be put into a battery pack of some ...

At some point, the 3.6 V of a single lithium ion battery just won’t do, and you’ll absolutely want to stack LiIon cells in series. When you need high power, you’ve either got to increase voltage or ...

A blast from the Elektor archives: this 1998 battery tester uses a simple LED display to reveal a battery’s true condition ...

This is probably fairly straightforward for an EE to weigh in on so I thought I’d post this question here for posterity in the hopes that it’ll solve the issue for other designers. The challenge is ...

Much EV development prompts digital innovation, yet tried-and-true analog approaches, such as LLCs offer measurable benefits.

Tesla replaced the lead-acid low-voltage battery in its vehicles with a Li-ion counterpart in 2021. However, these batteries used NMC chemistry, thus having a higher voltage of 16 volts. The newer ...
