Over the last couple of decades the use of rechargeable batteries has grown enormously, and for most common applications there are ASICs[1] which control battery management with very little additional ...

PoE power comes in the form of “48V at 350mA. If the PoE current is allowed to exceed 400mA, the standard calls for the PSE to break the circuit. This is a problem for devices that occasionally need a ...

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 ...

Discover how to build a simple wireless power transfer system at home using readily available components like enameled copper wire, an LED, a 2N2222A transistor, and a 9V battery. This step-by-step ...

A blast from the Elektor archives: this 1998 battery tester uses a simple LED display to reveal a battery’s true condition ...

A new type of battery combines negative capacitance and negative resistance within the same cell, allowing the cell to self-charge without losing energy, which has important implications for long-term ...

Apple's new Smart Battery Case for the iPhone 6 and 6s uses a relatively simple construction, centered around a 1,877 milliamp-hour battery sitting behind an aluminum plate, according to a teardown ...
