High-rate-discharge lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack applications require robust, reliable circuit protection. At the same time, increasing market demands for lighter, smaller equipment means these ...

The simplest protection method for battery packs is a fuse that opens if the system draws excessively high current. However, conventional one-time fuses open permanently and render the battery useless ...

Salvaging parts from discarded electronic devices has many benefits. Most notably, scavenging electronics can give you access to components that you otherwise would not have easy access to. In this ...

Lithium-ion (li-ion) batteries are everywhere. They are in personal electronics, power tools, micro-mobility devices, electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems (ESS). Researchers around the ...
