Smart Battery Power Standard
A “Standard for Rechargeable Batteries for Portable Computers” is being developed under the auspices of the US Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
The new standard will focus on system management and control, battery pack communications, energy density and reliability. The standard anticipates smarter battery system designs, including self-monitored charge, discharge and environmental conditions. It will also address redundant protections needed to assure system reliability.
