Battery Management Considerations for Large Cell Count Systems
Karthik Kadirvel, Design Engineer, Texas Instruments
Over the last few years there has been an increased use of lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries in high-power applications such as power tools, yard tools, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), which traditionally have been served by nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.

Battery, Heal Thyself: Inventing Self-Repairing Batteries
Louise Lerner,
Argonne National Laboratory
Imagine dropping your phone on the hard concrete sidewalk, but when you pick it up, you find its battery has already healed itself. A team of researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory are exploring ways to design batteries that heal themselves when damaged.
