ABSTRACT

The past twenty years have seen a tremendous growth in the use of mobile electronics across a wide range of power levels. Much of this has been enabled by advancements in portable power source technology -- in particular, the high energy density, small form factor Lithium-Ion battery devices. This presentation will discuss the evolution of Li-Ion technology from an applications perspective, including how it compares in key performance criteria to other traditional battery technologies. New types of Li-Ion cells that are optimized for more diverse applications such as power tools and electric bicycles will be reviewed. The basic concepts behind the charging and capacity monitoring algorithms for Li-Ion batteries will be presented, along with a high level overview of the emerging new technology behind Wireless Power systems for mobile devices.
