Smart batteries are an outstanding product of modern technology that are gradually changing our understanding of battery technology. Their biggest advantage is the significant improvement in intelligent management and safety performance. This article discusses the advantages of smart batteries and how to charge them.

What is a Smart Battery?

As far as the development process of lithium batteries is concerned, a single battery cell cannot meet the usage requirements of most portable electronic devices, so multiple battery cells need to be connected in series and parallel to form a battery pack. In this way, the battery capacity, voltage, and discharge requirements can meet certain requirements of electronic devices. However, there are certain numerical errors in capacity, voltage, internal resistance, etc. between lithium batteries, that is, the sizes are different. In this case, the stability of the battery operation is prone to failure.

The battery management system (BMS) was created to improve the working stability between cells. The BMS system can coordinate the tolerance, voltage difference, internal resistance difference, and other aspects of each cell in the smart lithium battery, thereby maximizing the battery pack's working efficiency and extending its life.

The structure of a smart lithium battery

In simple terms, the structure of smart lithium batteries is mainly divided into lithium battery cells, battery protection boards (BMS), battery fixing brackets and wires.

Smart lithium battery is a general term. Because the types and brands of lithium batteries used vary, the quality and price also vary greatly. This is the main reason why the prices of smart lithium batteries on the market vary.

There are many kinds of battery cells used as smart lithium batteries. In terms of types, there are mainly polymer lithium batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries, lithium cobalt oxide batteries, high nickel lithium batteries, ternary lithium batteries, etc. According to the properties of the same type of battery cells, the same type of battery cells can be divided into low-temperature batteries, high-rate discharge batteries, wide-temperature batteries, and conventional discharge batteries.
