“Anti-time” to open the China Battery “Lithium Iron” era

Monday, November 30th, 2009

We learn of the last century, the nineties, civilian consumption of China, the battery is increased carbon alkaline the first revolution of the transition from low energy to high energy, high pollution unless pollutant, from backward to move closer to the pace at the international revolutionary changes. This time, when the super-resistant to the advent of lithium-iron laptop battery means that it marked the first use of the Chinese civil battery ultra-high energy, more pollution of the environment natural integration for free with the second revolution of the planet. China has jumped from behind the drums to lead the world’s largest market of battery consumption - the battery in China, “Li-Iron” era began.

Ultra-high performance prospects broad application

Lithium-iron battery is a kind of beginning of this century has been developed by the United States and Europe to replace alkaline batteries in high tech products, because of its unparalleled performance and environmental benefits of early discharge trained in the developed world. Guangzhou-resistant when entrepreneurs rely on their own and national universities hp laptop battery, research institutions the power of talent has quickly developed its own proprietary formulations and in 2005, was completed and began to export large quantities of product oriented was among the first in the technical area occupied high ground of domestic firms. Previously, resistance to the company’s lithium-iron batteries, which are mainly exported to Europe and the United States, developed countries, the United States meets Energizer in the international market, a major opponent.

Ultra-high power lithium, iron battery has a capacity for high discharge requirements in products such as digital cameras, camcorders, SLR cameras, with seven times more life dell 3R305 battery. Resistance when the battery lithium-iron-discharge is low, life up to 15 years. Resistance when lithium iron batteries, light weight, only two thirds of alkaline, with high-lithium metal element of energy and iron sulfide natural, contains no toxic and hazardous substances, the Lead, mercury is equal to zero, is a true green battery. As a resistance when the lithium-iron battery is equivalent to 7 alkaline batteries, the number of batteries can be significantly reduced. Lithium-ion batteries also have a job, many performance adapted from 40 to 80 degrees Celsius below zero environment, can not function properly.

The lithium-iron battery suited to the needs of the high current discharge with electrical appliances such as digital camera battery, cameras, regular cameras, electric toys, electric razors, digital electronic products, equipment display digital medical equipment and so on. Resistance when the iron with lithium No. 5 on the 7th day of batteries such as disposable alkaline batteries, battery carbon and nickel-metal hydride, nickel cadmium, zinc and silver rechargeable batteries used interchangeably have become so far the best cells of columnar upgrade products and have gradually become a small portable electronic products the best power.

The safety of the environment, reduce pollution and help the industry

For many years the battery industry has been a headache for the department of environmental protection. Mainly due to traditional batteries on the human body and a great threat to the natural environment. As we all know, a normal battery can be seriously contaminated the soil or hundreds of tons of a cubic meter of water. Mercury in batteries should be against the body’s nervous system, can also lead to heart disease and blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, but also affect the human liver, thyroid and function of the skin. Cadmium rechargeable batteries contained in the human body easy to cause chronic poisoning, caused by emphysema, kidney damage, liver disease, osteoporosis, anemia, physical paralysis, but the biggest culprits causing drop. Lead can cause neurasthenia, hand and foot numbness, indigestion indigestion, abdominal cramps, blood poisoning and other diseases, and so on. No community, toxic pollution-free batteries, and recycling of batteries and increasing demand for high voice. However, on the one hand China the battery is only a recovery rate of just 2 percent, on the other hand, the sony battery companies in China are not yet sufficient financial and technological resources to properly manage the recovery used batteries. The objective reality was even put forward for improved battery power, reducing the total number of urgent needs of the battery.

From 2005 to 2008, three years, the high energy environment of the alkaline battery 1 billion each year the number increases, while the carbon containing toxic substances in batteries and nickel-cadmium batteries in an average annual decline of 200 million decline in large scale. The figures show that non-toxic, energy batteries environmentally-friendly high has become a clear trend growth in consumer demand.

It is reported that when the lithium-battery resistance of iron not only have high energy, but also in environmental protection unmatched. Lithium-iron battery is not only do not contain toxic and hazardous materials, but also because of a lithium-iron battery can replace seven alkaline batteries, 42 battery carbon, can significantly reduce the number of batteries. Analysts estimate that when the super-resistant to the advent of lithium-iron battery and universal, will significantly reduce the battery industry at the expense of our environment for our children and grandchildren to keep the Pure Land will be a strong guarantee.

Semi-break extension of monopoly pricing

As the lithium iron are still some cuts in the international advanced technology, and therefore the monopoly giants objects, one of the malls few people can already see brand Product name imports, the price of 20 yuan more than the one around this price the user to return to the heavy load, and the alkaline list the difficulties encountered by the sony digital camera battery same ultra-high price is also a lithium-iron battery will cross the threshold of universal access. When he was ten years ago, a brand of imported alkaline batteries sold in China, 12 yuan, with domestic brands compete in the market by the successful development of the production of its own production lines, the efficiencies, reducing overall cost, the price was finally reduced to that of today, 2 yuan level, and ultimately of alkaline batteries in China, universal access.

Guangzhou, where the super-resistant lithium-iron battery is the commitment of the half-price imports of branded goods for sale, fully encouraged the people to enjoy the local interests of its intellectual property products Huimin own. The move will no doubt where resistance to ultra-high-price performance advantage by virtue of its commitment to the universal authority of the test results, when resistance to the price of lithium-iron battery but less than half, but the execution without any hesitation. “With the constant improvement of our sales, the size of the operating costs will be significantly reduced in the next super lithium-iron battery may also lower the price of space, will eventually be replaced by a wide range of alkaline batteries.” Some analysts said.

According to statistics from the China Battery Association, China became the world’s largest manufacturer of batteries and battery consumption of a country. In 2008, the value of industrial production in China of 246.8 billion yuan from the battery, the battery output of 39.2 billion euros, compared to 2007, an increase of over 40% including 4 in exports, 6 into the market. The future large-scale lithium-ion batteries to replace alkaline batteries, rechargeable batteries and some will result in hundreds of billions on a huge market.

Lithium batteries leads 160 km with only 18 units of electricity

Friday, November 27th, 2009

Same as for recharging electric bicycles future, the public can directly out of the house to recharge electric vehicles, charge a battery will be able to travel 160 km stretch. Yesterday the reporter learned from-Shanghai high-tech industrialization projects key, “the new energy automotive batteries power lithium particles project investment contract signing laptop battery ceremony was informed that the year next World Conference Expo, produced by the Shanghai high security sector of space lithium ion batteries are installed in both cars Expo with a VIP interior, lithium-ion electric car in 2012 is expected to this market.

According to industry insiders believe that the future of civil lithium-ion electric car is expected to control the lowest price of $ 10 or less. “Designing a rechargeable lithium-ion battery electric cars to run 160 miles with only 18 units of electricity, the maximum speed of 120 km, the battery life of over 10 years.” Deputy Chief Engineer of Shanghai Institute of Space Power Jiang Xinhua introduced yesterday, providing the same energy conditions, the size of lithium-ion ac adapter and weight of only one third of nickel-hydride batteries, metal, Lithium-ion battery, and therefore more suitable for electric vehicles.

The growth in the battery industry in October before the overall industry forecast

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

Yesterday, the China Electronic Components Industry Association’s official website released in 2009 from January to October in China battery industry’s revenue situation, notice that:

2009 from January to October, China’s dell Inspiron 6400 battery industry’s accumulated industrial sales output value increased by 0.65%; cumulative production and marketing rate of 96.38%.

2009 from January to October, China’s battery industry’s accumulated industrial sales output value increased by 0.65%; cumulative production and marketing rate of 96.38%. Accumulated export delivery value fell 12.50 percent, a decline of more than 0.05 percentage points from January to September narrowed. October month, the battery industry, the completion of industrial sales output value increased by 7.18%.

From January to October, production of lead-acid batteries dell Inspiron 1526 battery accumulated year on year increase of 17.8% over the January-September increased by 1.2 percentage points; alkaline batteries cumulative production fell 20.6% over the January-September narrowed 1.1 percentage points; primary cells accumulated production fell 8.8%, a decline from January to September compared with narrowed 0.9 percentage points.

As can be seen from the data, the first ten months China’s battery industry sales volume increased year on year, which for the suffering of the international financial crisis of the electronics industry is undoubtedly a good news. However, as the financial crisis and other aspects, a lot of battery companies in China still faces a loss of extended closure of converting the other challenges, China’s battery companies still need to increase efforts to inner strength, to maintain growth, looking for their own development in line with company strategies and markets.

1, the battery industry trends

The advancement of technology and increasing demand for downstream applications, driven by the battery industry will arise in the development of three major trends:
Trend 1: the traditional lead-acid batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries in the civilian areas will be gradually replace the traditional lead-acid batteries are bulky, energy efficiency is low, and pollution is serious, its market demand is declining year after year; due to cadmium is toxic in many developed countries has proposed to prohibit the use of nickel-cadmium batteries. Conventional batteries in civilian areas will be gradually replaced.

Trend 2: Ni-MH battery and the rapid development of lithium-ion battery

Lithium-ion batteries with large capacity, long cycle life, no memory, etc., in the high-end consumer products such as electronic communication area of small and medium-power battery has made considerable progress, has become the world’s first choice for consumer electronics products, the battery. Especially in mobile communication devices (such as mobile phones), portable electronic devices (such as notebook computers) in areas such as lithium battery consumption is growing rapidly.

Compared with the lithium batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries with a high-power technology is mature, safety and reliability, high cycle efficiency and low cost advantages. Nickel-metal hydride batteries in the field of industrial batteries, especially in the field of high-power industrial battery power is gradually occupy dominant market position.

Trend 3: solar photovoltaic cells to flourish

Solar photovoltaic cells solar energy directly into electrical energy, with environmental protection, resource endless and so on. In particular, the use of solar photovoltaic power generation system is in vigorous period of development in the next few years, solar cell industry will maintain rapid growth.

Second, the fuel cell is the future direction of development

Fuel cells will be the following water, fire, nuclear energy after the 4th generation of internal combustion engines for power generation and alternative power plant. Fuel cells as energy use of new technologies, with efficient, clean, etc., has become the world’s energy field of the development of hot spots.

Fuel cell is divided into phosphoric acid fuel cell, alkaline fuel cells, proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cells, molten carbonate fuel cell and regenerative fuel cells, different types, different characteristics, uses are not the the same. Proton exchange membrane fuel cell represents the latest progress of the fuel cell, its thermal efficiency as high as 45% ~ 65% efficient internal combustion engine than the general 20% to 30%, so the battery of such great potential in automotive applications.

Fuel cells a wide range of applications, can be used in mobile phone or home appliances, but also can be used in transportation. Including Japan, the United States, the European Union and other countries, are developing pollution-free fuel cell cars.

Fuel cell electric vehicle technology is already quite mature, and whether commercialization is the key to consumer acceptance, that is, the use of performance, life, price and fuel around the system, the need to make consumers satisfied. At present fuel cells, related materials, system components, vehicle manufacturers and fuel supply companies, are working together to solve these problems, but also need government support, incentives and subsidies, in order to gradually create the initial market.

The United States, Japan and Europe already in the government’s support, with national fuel cell related industry vendors have set up Fuel Cell Partnership to carry out fuel cell electric vehicle education and promotion work. Government departments in these countries are also active in providing incentives such as subsidies and tax reduction measures, and facilitate the establishment of the initial fuel around the system. My Government is the promotion of fuel cell technology is also spared no effort, hoping to accelerate the practical application to promote their products.

Suppose in 2009 China produced only 5 million electric bicycles, but as long as 1% of the new electric bike using a fuel cell, then it will become the world’s largest potential in the emerging fuel cell market.

Acer aims to beat HP in anthology sales

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Acer afresh outpaced dell laptop battery as the additional bigger PC agent in the world. Is No. 1 Hewlett-Packard next on the list?

Acer Administrator J.T. Wang reportedly intends to address 40 actor notebooks in 2010, a amount that could advice the Taiwanese aggregation claiming and even beat accepted champ Hewlett-Packard for the top atom in carriageable PC sales.

To accomplish this goal, Acer is searching to bang up acquirement by added than 70 percent over the next three years, said Wang in an account with dell Inspiron 1420 battery Reuters.

Much of that acquirement advance is acceptable to appear from an advancing 50 percent accretion in sales for bargain Netbook PCs. As the abridgement improves, Wang expects to advertise an anytime greater  amount of low-priced, carriageable PCs, a articulation that has been actual affectionate to the company.

As administrator back 2008, Wang has led Acer as its sales and bazaar allotment accept attempt up over the accomplished year. And with acquirement accepted to hit $18 billion this year, he’s already targeting the next milestone.

“The abstraction is to ability $30 billion as anon as possible,” Wang told Reuters. “When we attending at the all-embracing market, if the PC bazaar starts to abound from next year and handhelds accept the abeyant to become a $200 billion market, $30 billion is a apprehensive target.”

On Friday, the aggregation saw third-quarter sales hit $167.6 billion Taiwanese dollars ($5.2 billion), a new top and up 5.3 percent from endure year’s third quarter. Balance jumped 14 percent to $3.47 billion Taiwanese dollars ($107.8 million). Had it not been for a curtailment acer laptop battery of assertive components, Acer said it would accept done even better.

Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters apprehend sales to acceleration to $573 billion Taiwanese dollars ($18 billion) for the absolute year, and $821 billion Taiwanese dollars ($25 billion) in 2012.

Acer has hit the carriageable PC bazaar with a fury, absolution a cord of small, light, bargain products. Its latest accessible access is the Aspire 1820PT, a 11.6-inch anthology with a hinge awning that transforms it into a book acer battery computer.

Unlike a lot of baby Netbooks that size, the 1820PT will be powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, rather than the slower Atom chip. Wang believes that PC users accept been angry off by the slowness of abounding light, ultrathin portables, including those fabricated by Acer.

“We didn’t pay abundant absorption to that,” said Wang in a account afterwards the third division balance were released. “End-users will not accommodation on this low acceleration problem. This time we should be able to do it right.”

Also, at beneath than 1.36 inches thick, the 1820PT will be thinner than a lot of added accepted swivel-screen notebook/tablets, such as the Fujitsu LifeBook. To be appear in time for the holidays, the new anthology will reportedly action eight hours of array activity and authority as abundant as 8GB of RAM, says Acer.

But the aggregation is not just relying on the PC bazaar to activate growth. At the end of November, Acer will admission its new smartphone, the Acer Liquid A1. Powered by a 768Mhz Snapdragon processor and active the Android operating system, the Liquid will action a 3.5 inch blow screen, 800 x 480 high-definition resolution satelite battery,tecra battery, 256MB of memory, and a 5MP autofocus camera. Aswell allotment of the mix will be Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and affiliation with Facebook, Twitter, and added amusing networks.

Though hands-on data accept been sparse, sites such as Gizmodo and Engadget accept already said the Snapdragon CPU will acceptable about-face the Liquid A1 into one of the fastest Android phones around.

Acer already pounced on the smartphone bazaar beforehand this year with its Tempo line, all active Windows Mobile. But the Liquid will be its aboriginal buzz to run the Android OS. And although Android phones accept been boring communicable on, they by itself face an acclivous action adjoin top players like the Apple iPhone.

The aggregation has aswell been active the accomplished several years on a alternation of cardinal acquisitions, bistro up Gateway in 2007, Packard Bell in aboriginal 2008, and smartphone maker E-Ten a brace of months later.

The purchases of Gateway and Packard Bell accept compaq laptop battery been allotment of what Acer calls a multibrand strategy, which has aimed to accession the company’s cast acquaintance in countries such as the U.S.

With a all-around PC bazaar allotment of 14 percent (second to HP’s 20 percent), Acer has become one of the fastest growing PC makers over the accomplished few years, affective it accomplished Lenovo and again Dell and anon to action HP for the top spot.

Hack laptop battery notice

Friday, November 13th, 2009

In the last article, We introduce the way “How to hack dead laptop battery”. But as far as we know the hack battery is a dangerous and perplexing work for the professional guy. Most of us only know how to take apart the laptop battery pack and solder the cells to the circuit board, this may cause some damage to electrocircuit.

After using for a long time, thelaptop battery capacity would reduce, resulting in shortened life of the notebook. This is mainly caused by an internal battery batteries aging failure. In serious condition, we cant solve the problem by battery calibration procedures or repeatedly charging and discharging. For this issue, many fans will open the battery case, to find the failure and replace batteries cells, they think that will be able to solve the problem. The actual situation is really so?

Carefully Replace the battery cells

Most laptop battery are made up of lithium-ion batteries cells, and lithium-ion dell Inspiron 1720 battery life is basically a constant, only 500 ~ 800 times charge life. Therefore, if the regular use of batteries for notebook power supply, 1 ~ 2 years later, due to the internal battery aging, it is easy to achieve the life of the batteries expire. Although we have detected in the open cell batteries, the show is a one or two damaged batteries. even if you replace the failure batteries, the battery return back to normal in a short period of time, it can not be used again soon as the entire failure of other batteries.

In that case, replace all the internal dell Inspiron 1721 battery can solve the problem? In fact, it is difficult to do this. Because in the original battery, its internal batteries is a precise match, and the capacity of batteries, terminal voltage and internal resistance are in a good consistency. And the battery we buy in the market has not been tested and matched, we can not matching for the batteries under the amateur condition, so the capacity, internal resistance and other parameters will inevitably vary. In the internal battery, the batteries are charged together after the series (in the majority of notebook batteries, the batteries will be divided into eight groups, four in series and then parallel to form a battery pack), as a result of the rechargeable battery the same current, in which the smallest capacity batteries will of course be full of electricity, while the other is not enough battery power, the battery terminal voltage can not set the voltage, charging circuit will continue to charge sony laptop battery pack. In this way, the original fully charged rechargeable batteries will be over-charged.

To reduce the charge time, the current of laptop charging circuit is very big, it will produce great heat when charging, so the liquid compaq battery temperature and pressure rise, internal electrolyte easily dry or overflow , so the batteries capacity decline and even explose. The total storage capacity of the battery determined by one of the smallest capacity batteries, and this will turn into a vicious cycle, after repeated charge-discharge, the entire battery capacity will significantly decline.

At the same time, a number of laptop batteries in order to prevent unauthorized users to open the replacement of camcorder batteries, have the smart chip protection and anti-line openings. As long as the shell to open the battery or batteries from the battery in the circuit board removed, intelligent protection circuit will stop the output of the battery. Even if we put the batteries back to the battery circuit board or close the battery case, the protection of its smart chip still can not be restored. In this way, the battery will not be able to normal output. We need to reset the smart chip in order to solve this problem, but the amateur conditions, we are unable to reset the smart chip. Therefore, from time to time change batteries cell may cause permanent damage to the battery.

So, how do we solve the battery problem? The best way is to buy a new original battery, but now a new original canon camcorder batteries or even a few thousand dollars, to spend so much money is too high, exceeding the carrying capacity of many consumers. However, there are a number of professional notebook repair station, its equipment and technology are good, but there are some repair stations and manufacturers of batteries there is a long-term cooperative relations, the battery can be manufactured to precise matching. This will ensure the maintenance of quality.

In these places the price of batteries for about 300 million, although replacement of batteries on their own to higher prices, but will keep the samsung camcorder batteries’ long-term use. In addition, some maintenance stations for maintenance had also carried out a six-month battery warranty. And we use these six months, as long as there are a hundred times to ensure that the battery charge and discharge around, and battery capacity and stability during this period, then after the battery will enter a stable period, the damage is not easy.

Have know-how to maintain the battery

In any case, replace the batteries do not need our small price to pay, so we have to use in day-to-day attention to the maintenance of the battery to extend battery life.

To protect the battery, first of all to reduce the number of canon digital camera battery, that is to say when in the city, do not use the battery as much as possible. This can reduce the number of battery charge and discharge, longer battery life. While this caused some inconvenience to use, but every time you think about the use of batteries, need money to pay two dollars, or you take it easy.

The internal structure of the battery

Battery calibration procedures can extend the sony digital camera battery life, has been a subject of heated discussion. Support the view that correction can eliminate the battery memory effect of batteries to extend battery life. The opponents believe that the use of lithium-ion batteries have no memory effect, so the correction process will only increase the number of battery charge and discharge and shorten battery life. In fact, understanding these two are not comprehensive. Although lithium-ion batteries to reduce the memory effect, but the memory effect still exists.

Indeed the sony Camera Battery calibration can reduce the memory effect, but this is not the most important, the battery calibration procedure is to establish the main functions of the battery and control circuit so that the control circuit can correctly identify the capacity of the battery, so to avoid battery overcharge or over-discharge phenomenon. At the same time, the system can also be exhausted before the battery shutdown to protect data security. However, the frequent use of battery calibration procedures will increase the number of battery charge and discharge. Therefore, we run once every three months about the battery calibration procedures it.

We in the use of batteries for notebook power supply or power adapter for charging the nikon battery, do not unplug the notebook’s battery. Because the battery is charging or discharging state, the currents are very large, if we try to plug the battery, then, it is easy to have a spark, not only will cause contact of ablation, may also be caused by the impact of current circuit board or battery laptop charging circuit damage.

In addition, many people there are still some misunderstanding on the use of batteries. For example, the “new purchase to go through the nikon camera battery charging and discharging several times to activate,” “notebook batteries do need to put a” matter of fact, with the memory effect of lithium batteries and battery to reduce the improvement of internal protection circuits. These factors impact on the battery capacity has been very small, we run on a regular basis as long as the battery calibration procedure of these operations will be able to eliminate the impact of the battery, so we need not care too much for this purpose to wait on your notebook, after all, the battery is used used.

Some common sense about Rechargeable battery

Friday, November 13th, 2009

When a laptop battery experiences a charge and discharge, we call a cycle or a period. In the stated charge and discharge principles and the capacity decline before a stated standard, the total cycles it can undergo called rechargeable battery cycle life.

What is rechargeable battery self discharge?

 

Primary DELL laptop battery or full charged secondary battery, when put aside for a period, it is capacity will decline or lose, this phenomenon calls self discharge that is electricity flee away. It is decided by the inner electro-chemistry system, similar to water leakage from pond or reservoir.

What is battery inner impedance?

 

Battery impedance is the resistance when the current flow through an operating cell, in general the internal resistance is included both d.c. and a.c. resistance. For the rechargeable dell Inspiron 1501 battery  cell resistance is small and electrode is easy to be polarized along with producing a polarization resistance while measure d.c. resistance, the accurate value can’t be measured.

What is the memory effect?

 

Memory effect only happens on Ni-Cd batteries. As in traditional technology a Ni-Cd battery’s negative is agglomeration with thick Ni crystal, if Ni-Cd batteries are recharged before they have been fully discharged, Ni crystal easily gathers to form agglomeration, which makes the primary discharge platform come into being. The dell Inspiron 1520 battery stores the platform, which will be considered as the end of discharge for the next cycle even though the capacity decides that the battery can be discharged to a lower platform. The battery will store this process in its memory so during the next discharge, the battery only remembers this reduced capacity. Similarly any further incomplete discharge in each use will aggravate the effect makes lower capacity. The effect there are two methods to remove the effect: firstly deep discharge at trickle current (i.e. 0.1C to 0V), secondly several cycles at high currents (e.g. 1C).

What is the ambient temperature affects the battery performance?

 

Low temperatures (e.g. -15?) will obviously reduce Ni-Cd and Ni-MH dell Inspiron 1521 battery discharge rate. At -20? electrolyte is at its freezing point, charge speed will greatly slow down. At low temperature (under -15?) charge will raise the internal gas pressure and probably unseal the safety vent. Ambient temperature of 5?to 30? is the best range to get effective charge. Generally with temperature rising charge efficiency will become higher. But when the temperature rises to 45? or higher, the materials performance in the battery will be degenerated and battery service life will be shorten greatly.

What is the Over charge affects the battery performance?

 

The continual charge action after fully charged with certain charge approach is overcharge. the positive capacity is higher than the negative on design, the generated oxygen in positive can composite, through separator, with Cd generated in negative. In general condition the internal pressure will not rise obviously, but if the dell Inspiron 1525 battery charge current is so heavy or the charge time is so long, and the generated oxygen can not be used up in time, there will be some quality defect risen such as internal pressure rising, battery distortion, leakage and so on. Meanwhile its performance will decline.

What is the Over discharge affects the battery performance?

 

If a cell’s voltage reaches a designed value, that means the battery has discharge the stored capacity, but still the discharge action is continual, over-discharge will cause. Commonly the end voltage can be identified through discharge current, for example the end voltage is set at dell Inspiron 1526 battery 1.0V/cell as discharged at 0.2C-2C, and 0.8V/cell at 3C or more, e.g. 5C or 10C. Over discharge may cause disaster, especially at heavy current or repeated over discharge. Commonly over discharge can make cell inner pressure raise, and the reversibility of activity materials both in positive and negative will be damaged. Even by charge only part can recover and the capacity is reduced obviously.

What is the short circuit affects the battery performance?

 

Any kinds of conductive material being bridged with the external terminals of a battery will result in short circuit. Based on the dell Inspiron 6400 battery system, a short circuit may have serious consequences, e.g. rising electrolyte temperature or building up internal gas pressure. If the internal gas pressure value exceeds the limitation of cell cap endurances, the electrolyte will leak, which will damage battery greatly. If safe vent fails to respond, even explosion will occur. Therefore don’t short circuit.

How to measure the power consumption of notebook battery?

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Whylaptop battery capacity reduce as time? Why battery calibration can improv battery capacity? How to charge the battery correctly? All above probelm are related to battery power consumption. Open circuit voltage measurement … … Coulomb measurement, impedance measurement, what are these terms mean? Here we will simply introduce all of them!

Whether it is the out nickel-metal hydride batteries, lithium-ion  dell laptop battery , or not commonly used lithium polymer batteries, and even coming silver zinc batteries, are equivalent to the a storage warehouse of electronic power. The differences between them is that the way out of the Treasury, the volume of stocks it. In laptop batteries, there is a power manage center - power consumption chip, it is the management of power measuring, charging and discharging managing.

In the measurement of battery technology, there are four kinds common method (open-circuit voltage measurement, Coulomb calculation, impedance measurement, integrated look-up table method), but not all hp laptop battery used only one method, usually using a combination of methods to one of the main method of supporting the rest of the way computing power. The first one is the open circuit voltage measurement, this method is that measuring the battery voltage under static values to calculate the remaining battery capacity, but as a result of stationary lithium-ion battery voltage and remaining capacity relation is non-linear, so this method measured valueis not accurate, the vast majority of mobile phone batteries are calculated using this method;

The second one is Coulomb calculation, the method is by measuring the  battery charger and discharge current, the current value and time value After the calculation of product integration has been carried out by filling the battery into the power and the release of electricity, Coulomb’s method is a accurate method of calculating power;

The third one is the impedance measurement, measuring its resistance to get the remaining battery capacity value; the fourth is a comprehensive look-up table method, by setting up a related form, the voltage, current, temperature and other parameters, you can query the remaining battery capacity.

Therefore, in addition to the internal structure of the battery batteries, there are control chips, the chip which contains 1-2 kinds of batteries power measurement method of calculation, and a charge-discharge protection circuit. fujifilm battery manage program had been setted in the system, and through access to the chip-driven interface, and then set on the battery management.

So, why the nikon camera battery will become weak, but the battery calibration can improve the battery capacity? Notebook battery 6-cell and 4-cell, means that there are a number of battery cells inside the battery. The batteries cells conenect together, the battery capacity reduce reason is that: all the batteries quality and discharge rate can not be in the same level. After discharge, one battery cell capacity in substantial reduction, in order to maintain voltage stability, the battery management chip will be according protection of core power as the “bucket principle”, so after the electricity charge will decrease.

Battery calibration function is to balance the multiple batteries cells, the camcorder battery cells own internal resistance can not be completely consistent, the large internal resistance battery will shoulder the larger current, and its own consumption more than the other batteries. So regular battery calibration is necessary - it can balance the burden of multiple batteries work and prolong the whole battery life.
