This demonstration circuit is an active rectifier with reverse protection for batteries in automotive applications. The project is designed for 5A load current. Two clamping diodes, D1 and D2, are used on the board to protect the IC from overvoltage spikes at the input. The input supply...

The AA and AAA-sized batteries provide power to our everyday handheld devices like radio, remote control, gamepads, synths, etc. Most of these batteries used are non-rechargeable, and one has to dispose of them after their usage. According to a report, more than 80% of zinc-carbon cells...

Nanograf in the US has developed a cylindrical lithium-ion cell with an energy density of 800Wh/l using a silicon battery anode. The 18650 format cylindrical lithium-ion cell with a silicon anode developed by Nanograf provides 3.8Ah, 28 percent more power that graphite-based anode...

LiFePO4 Batteries: An Overview Compact electronic devices rely on concise li-ion battery packs. Lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFEPO4) or LFP battery is a type of lithium-ion battery that uses lithium iron phosphate as a cathode and a graphitic carbon electrode as the anode. LFP...

Analog Devices Inc. LT8491 Buck-Boost Battery Charge Controller implements a constant-current constant voltage (CCCV) charging profile used for most battery types. This includes sealed lead-acid (SLA), flooded, gel, and lithium-ion. The device operates from input voltages above,...

Texas Instruments bq25171-Q1 Linear Battery Charger is an automotive rated 800mA linear charger for 1-cell and 2-cell Li-Ion, Li-Polymer, and LiFePO4, in addition to 1-cell up to 6-cell NiMH battery applications. The device has a single power output that charges the battery. The system...

The LIR1220 is a 12.5 mm. lithium-ion rechargeable coin cell. It is a relatively new technology. Traditionally, li-ion coin cells are non-rechargeable but for some situations, rechargeable compact cells are desired. Coin cells like CR2032 are ultra-compact and are used in a variety of...

Molex's battery can attach to wearables and medical biosensors and conform to a patient’s body for maximum comfort Molex's thin-film battery is made of zinc and manganese dioxide, making disposal much easier for the end-user. Most developed countries have disposal regulations; this...
