In some examples, a control unit is configured to consider battery heat. The control unit is adapted to provide power from a battery to a system during a peak power mode that includes peak power and off-peak power, and consider heat balance in the battery during the peak power mode by providing peak power so that heat of the battery corresponds to a reference condition heat of the battery.

Battery heat balancing during peak power mode

An apparatus is provided which comprises: a first circuitry to estimate variation of an internal impedance of a battery; a second circuitry to estimate a high power that the battery can supply for a first time-period, based on the estimated variation of the impedance of the battery; and a third circuitry to facilitate operation of one or more components of the apparatus in accordance with the estimated high power for the first time-period.

Dynamic battery power management based on battery internal impedance

In some examples, an apparatus can control power provision to a computing device. A controller is to provide power to the computing device from a first power source at a power level above a sustained power rating of the first power source for a first time period, and is to provide power to the computing device from a second power source at a power level above a sustained power rating of the second power source for a second time period after the first time period.

Multiple power input charging

Systems and methods are provided for battery cells including solid electrolytes. Solid electrolyte cells may be integrated with electronic devices. For example, a solid electrolyte cell may be integrated with a metal surface of a circuit board or an electrically conductive surface of a chassis. Surface-mountable solid electrolyte cells may be electrically coupled to circuit traces using, for example, a reflow soldering process.

Surface mount battery and portable electronic device with integrated battery cell

Systems and methods may place a battery in a first constant voltage charging mode and monitoring a diminishing current of the battery while the battery is in the first constant voltage charging mode. Additionally, the battery may be placed in a constant current charging mode when the diminishing current falls to a first predetermined threshold. In one example, a rising voltage of the battery is monitored while the battery is in the constant current charging mode and the battery is placed in a second constant voltage charging mode at an end of the charge cycle in response to the rising voltage reaching a second predetermined threshold. Moreover, a charge current corresponding to the constant current charging mode may be adjusted based on a charge capacity of the battery.

Adaptive step and charge current battery charging

Various embodiments are generally directed to operation of a computing device powered with first and second sets of energy storage cells, the cells of the first set structurally optimized for higher density storage of electric power, and the cells of the second set structurally optimized for providing electric power at a high electric current level. A battery module includes a casing, a first cell disposed within the casing to store electric energy with a high density, and a second cell disposed within the casing to provide electric energy stored therein with a high current level. Other embodiments are described and claimed herein.

Mixed cell type battery module and uses thereof

An apparatus is provided that includes a two or more cell elements stacked internally to create a single cell with a non-uniform height. A first bus bar may electrically couple to a first side or first end of the cell elements in order to connect the terminals of the battery elements. A second bus bar may electrically couple to a second side or second end of the cell elements in order to connect the terminals of the battery elements.
