Due to the advantages of lithium-ion batteries in energy density, using lithium-ion batteries can reduce system complexity and overall costs compared to using nickel cadmium batteries and nickel hydrogen batteries. However, the quality of the charging system has a significant impact on the service life and operational reliability of the battery.

1、 What is a smart battery?At present, various bus technologies that facilitate data exchange and processing with MCU/CPU are widely used in the charging/discharging management of rechargeable batteries, such as Bitbus, SMBus, I2C, USB, and SPI.For example, in a laptop, bus technology can be used to manage and detect battery parameters such as battery level status, battery availability time, remaining battery level, and whether the battery is functioning properly. It can also display data on battery working status. When the battery level is depleted, the computer can automatically shut down and save relevant data. Similarly, in the widely used mobile phones, these technologies have also been widely applied, greatly facilitating the use of users.Some people define smart batteries as: battery+electronic components+control bus=smart battery. Smart batteries, SMBus, and&quo; Smart Battery Charger; The three constitute the Smart Battery System (SBS).

2、 What is the integrated circuit for charging/discharging protection and control of multiple lithium-ion batteries? What are the functions?Due to the series of advantages and wider application range of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, some major integrated circuit manufacturing companies in the world (such as TI, Maxim, SII, Linear, Freescale, National, and Intersil, etc.) have launched many different models of multi cell lithium-ion battery management integrated circuits. The integrated circuits for managing multiple lithium-ion rechargeable batteries produced by these companies have their own characteristics and excellent performance. They can detect and protect the charging/discharging working status and charging/discharging temperature of each lithium-ion battery. Some of them use an 8-bit MCU core and relevant lithium-ion battery charging/discharging status registers to store and analyze the charging/discharging status of lithium-ion batteries, ensuring that each lithium-ion battery is fully charged and extending its service life.For example, the recently launched S-8204A/B series 3-section/4-section lithium-ion battery charging/discharging management control integrated circuit by Seiko Corporation (SII) in Japan.

The S-8204A/B series integrated circuit is equipped with a high-precision voltage detector and delay circuit, which can be used for charging/discharging management of lithium-ion batteries and battery packs. It has control functions such as temperature detection, overcharging, discharging, and overcurrent protection for lithium-ion batteries, and can achieve charging/discharging protection control for each lithium-ion battery.

The S-8204A/B series integrated circuits have the characteristics of simple use, convenience, and fewer peripheral components.When used, if two S-8204A/B series integrated circuits are connected in series, it can achieve charging/discharging protection control of 5-8 series lithium-ion battery packs. If more S-8204A/B are used in series, it can be used for more applications of lithium-ion battery charging/discharging protection control. This is very attractive for applications such as electric vehicles, power tools, and UPS that require high power supply voltage. In these applications, it is often necessary to use 5-12 lithium-ion batteries in series, with an average power supply voltage range of 18-43.2V.
