Lithium battery pack with communication

Lithium-Ion battery packs are the preferred power solution for today's portable equipment. Portable device applications typically require the inclusion of power interaction functionality more than ever before.

Cell-Con will provide a custom Lithium-Ion smart battery pack solution that utilizes SMBus / CANbus / I2C for communications between the battery, host device, and charger. Smart battery assemblies include an electronic circuit with a microprocessor to provide fuel gauging functionality (available run time / capacity).

Current battery risk control often lacks indicators and timeliness for the accidents due to complexity in convoluted and distinct electrochemical behaviors of diverse cell chemistries. Here, we enable lithium-ion batteries with intelligence by integrating a conformal array of multifunctional sensors into the packing foil.

Since its birth in early 1990s, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have revolutionized our daily energy usage over the last few decades, penetrating personal electronics and communications, to large-scale grid-storage, and to the electrification of diversified transportation means, including vehicles, aircrafts, railway, and cargo ships 1, 2, 3.

Portable device applications typically require the inclusion of power interaction functionality more than ever before. Cell-Con will provide a custom Lithium-Ion smart battery pack solution that utilizes SMBus / CANbus / I2C for communications between the battery, host device, and charger.

Data such as cycle count, usage patterns, battery ID, battery type, serial number, date of manufacture, and other useful information are all integral to the smart pack. Additional customization can be incorporated onto the same board as the battery management to streamline the assembly.
