  3. Battery Types Alkaline - AA, 1.5V Nominal, 2.5Ah at 100mA, RINT ≈ 225mΩ, Digikey N107-ND NiCad (Rechargeable) - AA, 1.2V Nominal, .7Ah at 100mA, RINT ≈ 16mΩ, Digikey SY114-ND Lithium Coin Cell - CR2032, 3V Nominal, .24Ah at .19mA, RINT ≈ 15KΩ, Digikey N189-ND Lithium Ion (Rechargeable) - Prismatic Cell, 3.6V Nominal, 1.8Ah at 3.4A, RINT ≈ 320mΩ, Panasonic CGA103446

  4. Charging Schemes – Simple

  5. Charging Schemes - Better

  6. Charging Schemes – Mo’ Betta’

  7. Power vs. Average Power Power is the power used during a single action. Power over time gives you capacity used. - Motor Motion: 12V @ 500mA for .5 Seconds Average Power is power used over a fixed period of time. - Motor Motion: Door used 20 times per hour Eg. The motor uses: 20times *12V * .5A * .5sec * 1/3600 = 16mW/Hour

  8. Example Battery Life Example Imagine you are building a keypad activated door lock. You want it to run as long as possible. For some reason you are required to use a 9V alkaline battery. How long will the system work? Can the 9V system directly drive the Lock? If not how can we fix it?

  9. Specifics for Example How long will the system work? Can the 9V system directly drive the Lock? If not how can we fix it?

  10. Battery Safety Short Circuits In low resistance batteries, you can quickly create LARGE currents that can easily melt components. Over Heating During charging (and discharging) battery chemical reactions produce heat. The faster the rate the more heat. The issue is some chemistries (Lithium Ion) can ignite!

  11. Take Away Check both your average power for battery life and your instantaneous power for intermittent use Pick the correct battery type, not just the newest
