High-rate-discharge lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack applications require robust, reliable circuit protection. At the same time, increasing market demands for lighter, smaller equipment means these ...
The simplest protection method for battery packs is a fuse that opens if the system draws excessively high current. However, conventional one-time fuses open permanently and render the battery useless ...
STMicroelectronics and LG Chem have announced plans to develop an automotive battery pack that will extend the potential of electric and hybrid electric vehicles, combining LG Chem’s lithium-ion ...
