Introduction
John Barbian is an accomplished inventor based in Leander, TX (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of battery technology, holding a total of 2 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and functionality of rechargeable batteries.
Latest Patents
One of John Barbian's latest patents is a Battery Recovery System. This innovative battery includes at least one rechargeable battery cell that is operable to store energy. An electronics unit is coupled to the rechargeable battery cell, controlling its operating condition. Notably, the electronics unit becomes inoperable when the energy stored is insufficient. A detector component determines the inoperability of the electronics unit, while a charge discharge component provides a charge through a first charge path when the electronics unit is operable. Additionally, a trickle charge component ensures that when the electronics unit is inoperable, a charge is provided through a second charge path, allowing the battery to regain functionality.
Another significant patent is the Portable Computer Battery Recovery and Reconditioning Mechanism. This invention detects a functionally dead condition of a smart battery, where the electronics unit becomes inoperable. During this state, a current-limited trickle charge is provided, bypassing the inoperable electronics unit. Once the battery receives enough charge, the electronics unit regains control and reconditions the battery to a fully charged state.
