Most tool batteries have overheating challenges, and Ryobi's One+ battery platform is no exception. Understanding how to spot ...

Innovative technologies are being developed to detect potential battery issues early in the supply chain, aiming to reduce ...

A previously-published Design Idea outlined a polarity protection circuit that provides the correct connection of the battery to a load regardless of the battery’s orientation in its holder. The ...

(Nanowerk News) How lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries behave under short-circuit conditions can now be examined using a new approach developed by a UCL-led team to help improve reliability and safety.

The glitch is a possible defect in the battery cell separator. If that fails, it could cause a short circuit inside the pack ...

I will be talking about single-series (1sXp) cell configurations, for a simple reason – multiple-series configurations are not something I consider myself as having worked extensively with. The single ...

WASHINGTON — A short circuit likely caused by a manufacturing defect in a Boeing 787 airliner battery caused a fire last year that grounded the planes for more than three months, federal accident ...

The National Transportation Safety Board believes an internal short circuit within a single cell inside a lithium-ion battery led to a fire aboard a Boeing 787, shedding new light on the battery ...

Isn’t it always the way? There’s a circuit right out of the textbooks, or even a chip designed to do exactly what you want — almost exactly. It’s 80% perfect for your application, and rather than ...

The following automatic battery-charger design is created with a circuit that could qualify as the simplest window comparator ever built around a single transistor (see the figure). It starts charging ...

Analog Linecards are prone to overcurrent and overvoltage hazards that could eventually harm the whole system. These hazards may come from AC power cross, power induction, lightning surges. Analog ...
