Unico’s 4-channel, 5-V, 300-A advanced battery-cell formation device enables gigafactories to deliver lithium cells with 50% longer life and higher factory throughput. Producing the millions of ...

The proliferation of affordable lithium batteries has made modern life convenient in a way we could only imagine in the 80s when everything was powered by squadrons of AAs, or has it? [Ian Bogost] ...

Single-cell lithium-ion (Li-ion) chargers are widely used, yet many practical designs rely on highly integrated ICs that conceal their internal operation. The type of Li-ion charger outlined in this ...

When designing, specifying, or purchasing a lithium based rechargeable battery pack, a question that should always come up is cell balancing as it relates to safety and long-life for the battery pack.

Battery life; we can never have enough of it. Even though most smartphones from the past few years will easily take you through a day of use and possibly even two, the oldies among us still pine for ...
