Lithium Ion Battery Warms Up Operates In Subzero Temperatures

Lithium-Ion Battery Warms Up, Operates In Subzero Temperatures

Electronics News Updates / By

A new “all-climate” lithium-ion battery can rapidly heat itself to overcome freezing temperatures with little sacrifice in energy storage capacity and power, researchers say. This advance might enable applications for which high-performance batteries are needed in extremely cold temperatures, such as electric cars in cold climates, high-altitude drones, and space exploration. EC Power is now […]

Circuit provides constant current load for testing batteries

Circuit provides constant-current load for testing batteries

Electronics News Updates / By

Suppose that you need to test a 1.5V, AA-size alkaline battery. You can apply a short circuit and measure current, or you can measure open-circuit voltage, but neither method properly tests the battery. A suitable test current of approximately 250 mA gives you a more reasonable test. You can use a 6Ω resistive load at

Lithium coin-cell batteries Predicting an application lifetime

Electronics News Updates / By

Abstract: The typical specification for lithium coin-cell batteries has been to provide a 10-year battery lifetime in the absence of system power. End users should evaluate the anticipated lifetime in their specific application, especially for those that exceed typical commercial environments or that need to last more than 10 years. This article gives the reader
