驗(yàn)證和準(zhǔn)確跟蹤可充電電池

　　除了提供電力，用戶(hù)期望電池運(yùn)行安全和可預(yù)見(jiàn)的，并提醒他們，當(dāng)他們需要充電，甚至更換。對(duì)于設(shè)計(jì)師來(lái)說(shuō)，這提出了兩個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)。第一個(gè)是可靠和準(zhǔn)確地預(yù)測(cè)電池容量。二是確保使用正宗電池的產(chǎn)品安全運(yùn)行。

　　The battery performance factor

　　Battery performance has emerged as a major differentiator across each class of mobile product， yet users really only become aware of batteries when they fail to meet expectations. Indeed， manufacturers continue to struggle with methods for reliably presenting an accurate estimate of the charge remaining in a battery， particularly lithium-ion （Li-ion） cell battery packs.

　　Unlike earlier battery technologies， the voltage output of a Li-ion cell is flat across a wide span of its operating range and exhibits marked temperature dependency （Figure 1）。 Consequently， the conventional use of open-circuit voltage （OCV） measurements to predict cell state-of-charge （SOC） can suffer significant error when applied to Li-ion cells. Furthermore， the need for a current-sense resistor with this method means that batteries suffer a continuous power drain， even as developers look to implement strategies to extend the time between charges.
