IEEE Start New Mobile Phone Battery Standard
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "NEWS" @ 06:30 AM
The IEEE is currently working on a new standard called P1725, which will deal with improving the reliability of lithium-ion and lithium-ion polymer batteries. The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) produces nearly 30 percent of the world's literature in the electrical and electronics engineering, computing and control technology fields, and their standards include WiFi and Firewire etc. The huge growth in the use of mobile phone (and PDA) batteries means that the time is right to introduce a new standard to help deliver greater power and energy density for mobile device batteries:
"The new standard will seek to make cellular phone batteries more robust by setting uniform criteria for their design, production and evaluation. It will consider battery and battery pack electrical and mechanical construction, chemistries, process control, qualification and packaging technologies, among other areas. It will be developed by companies that manufacture batteries, cells and handsets, as well as by carriers."
