22 Years' Battery Customization
Mar 20, 2023 Pageview：323
Batteries can be thought of as living things whose behavior is directly influenced by their surroundings and care. While carefully handled batteries can work for many years with no maintenance, overcharged or kept at high temperatures frequently show a shortened lifespan.
For this reason, manufacturers of portable devices must give top priority to battery specifications. However, one kind of battery solution, smart batteries, which have been available on the market for some time, can significantly reduce risk while drastically streamlining the battery design process.
Smart Battery Spektrum
Spektrum Smart batteries can access an immense amount of data, including chemistry type, cycle count, charge rate, error record, and more, thanks to Spektrum Smart technology. Using the programming options, you can modify the Smart LiPo battery to meet your requirements.
Spektrum smart technology reads all the data from the charger to the battery. It includes a microchip installed in the battery and a charger to perform several functions;
●Delivering data through the ESC to the Smart enabled receiver to provide voltage and individual cell voltage directly to you, 'the user or customer .' For example, you know how much battery you have left when driving or flying.
●Auto-Storage discharge
When you forget to unplug your battery from the Spektrum smart charger, the charger is 'smart' enough to actually discharge. If you are new to Spektrum technology, you want to keep your battery from storing at full charge; keep them at nominal storage voltage.
●Simplified charging process
There is more fun time and less downtime with Spektrum chargers. Compared to other chargers, the charging process begins as soon as the battery is plugged in.
Features of Smart Battery Spektrum.
●New Spektrum Batteries come with a range of 2S to 6S possible packs.
●All batteries and smart technology ECSs use the new IC connectors. IC connectors are easy to connect, leading to a nice, secure, solid connection.
●As soon as the battery is plugged in, the Spektrum charger identifies the battery type and lets you choose the voltage to charge your device.
How do smart batteries work?
As part of a larger "smart power management system," smart batteries are meant to be incorporated into portable devices. Typically, this will comprise a smart battery, a smart charger, and a systems management interface (SMBus) for integrating the various elements.
In a smart power management system, the battery can accurately "tell" the host how much power it still has and how it wants to be recharged. Generally speaking, communication between the battery, smart charger, and host device aims to maximize product performance, efficiency, and safety. Smart cells charge more effectively.
By advising their host device when to shut down based on its own evaluation of its residual capacity, smart batteries can also maximize the "runtime per discharge" cycle. This approach outperforms "dumb" devices that employ a fixed voltage cut-off by a wide margin.
Therefore, portable host systems using smart battery technology are able to provide clients with accurate, valuable runtime information. This is unquestionably of utmost significance in devices with mission-critical functions, where a power failure is not an option.
Smart batteries continuously monitor their capacity, whether they are being charged, discharged, or stored. To a level of 1mAh, battery capacity is expressed in milliampere hours (mAh). The actual capacity of the battery's original design capacity and its most recent charge are both expressed in mAh and as a percentage.
The battery fuel gauge uses specific correction variables to account for variations in the battery's temperature, charge rate, discharge rate, etc. Additionally, adaptive smart battery gauges alter their adjustments as the battery matures, its chemical composition changes, and its charge capacity declines.
Batteries can be damaged if they are charged in extremely cold or extremely warm temperatures. Smart batteries can increase the usable life of a battery by altering their charging algorithm based on changing environmental conditions. Therefore, smart batteries will decrease the charge current while the battery is warm to lower the risk of damage and stop charging entirely if the battery is unusually cold or hot.
Understanding Lithium-ion and Smart Battery Technology
Millions of people's daily activities are powered by lithium-ion batteries. This technology is becoming increasingly common due to its lightweight, high energy density, and rechargeable capabilities, which are found in everything from laptops and cell phones to hybrids and electric vehicles.
How Lithium-ion battery works?
Two current collectors (positive and negative), a separator, a cathode, an anode, and a cathode make up a battery. Lithium is stored in the cathode and anode. The electrolyte carries favorably charged lithium ions from the cathode to the anode and vice versa.
A charge is produced at the positive current collector by the movement of the lithium atoms, which releases free electrons in the anode.
Charging and Discharging
The anode releases lithium ions to the cathode while the battery is discharging and supplying an electric current, creating a flow of electrons from one side to the other.
Usage Tips
●When using or storing lithium-ion batteries, stay away from extreme temperature. Elevated temperatures pose serious safety risks, including the possibility of fire or explosion, by hastening the degradation of almost every battery component. Unplug a laptop or phone if it becomes significantly warm while charging. Reduce exposure to cold, particularly when charging.
●Reduce the time the battery is at 100% or 0% charge as much as possible. Batteries are subjected to severe "states of charge" at both extremely high and extremely low levels. Instead of a full charge, consider using a half charge that brings the battery's SoC up to 80%. Unplug the device when it reaches 100% if that isn't feasible.
●Although "fast chargers" is efficient, a lithium-ion battery will deteriorate more rapidly than regular charging. A battery degrades when it is discharged prematurely through many of the same mechanisms. Reduce screen brightness, disable location services, and end power-hungry applications on laptops and cellphones to assist the discharge rate.
●Some manufacturers advise against storing batteries in the charger when using cordless power tools while others warn against fully draining the battery. A few advise charging the battery in an environment with an ambient temperature range of 32 degrees Fahrenheit to 104 degrees.
