Validate Charge Management for Optimum Battery Performance and Reliability
기술 개요
Introduction
Validating a mobile device’s battery charge management function is paramount for assuring overall battery performance is collectively optimized.
For devices using rechargeable batteries, the charge management function impacts both short- and long-term battery performance. Validating the battery charging profile and termination is a vital task to assure several battery performance attributes are collectively optimized to meet design goals, including:
- Charging time
- Battery longevity and safety
- Warranty claims due to battery performance
- Run time
- Managing fault conditions
While all of these factors are important, there is often some difference in emphasis placed on each depending on the particular device. For example, you may place greater emphasis on battery longevity in tablets, MP3 players, and wireless headsets when the battery is built in and not readily replaceable.
