Paul Rako takes a look back at the transformer-based prototype built by the legendary Jim Williams and his compatriot Mark Thoren, which relates well in today’s burgeoning EV environment. 1. This is ...

Luke Workman is a complete maniac. He's also one of the world's leading lithium battery pack designers for electric vehicles, and he's come up with a revolutionary battery design that he says could ...

There are many challenges associated with high-voltage Li-ion battery-stack management in all-electric or hybrid automotive applications. Charge and discharge cycles must be monitored and controlled, ...

Typically, the individual cells in a battery have somewhat different capacities and may be at different levels of state of charge (SOC). Without balancing, the cell of smallest capacity is a “weak ...

The LTC6801 is a high-voltage battery-stack fault-monitor that operates without a microprocessor and without the need for optocouplers or isolators. Each monitor device monitors up to 12 ...

Vanadium flow batteries are one of the most promising technologies for large-scale energy storage, due to their long cycle life, excellent recyclability, and low fire risk. However, their uptake is ...

In a layered resilience stack, the UPS battery layer must absorb a wider and more frequent transient envelope – changing how ...
