RSS batteriesCaring for Your Batteries from Birth to Retirement
White Paper It is interesting to observe that batteries cared for by a single user generally last longer than those operating in an open fleet system where everyone has access to, but no one is accountable for them. [03 Jul 2008]
Care and Feeding of Motive Power Batteries
White Paper With a modicum of care and attention, batteries deliver years of troublefree service. The batteries that power electric lift trucks, tow tractors, pallet handlers, personnel carriers, and other mobile industrial equipment can, under normal... [03 Jul 2008]
Will Lithium-Ion Batteries Power the New Millennium?
White Paper For many years, the Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) was the only suitable battery for portable applications such as wireless communications and mobile computing. In 1990, the Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) and Lithium Ion (Li-ion) emerged, offering higher... [03 Jul 2008]
Recycling Your Battery
White Paper Over 75 million Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) batteries were sold in the US during the year 2000. Market predictions indicate that the demand of NiCd batteries will rise six percent per year until 2003. Where will the mountains of batteries go when spent? [03 Jul 2008]
What is the Perfect Battery?
White Paper We scrutinize the batteries not only in terms of energy density but also longevity, load characteristics, maintenance requirements, self-discharge and operational costs. Since NiCd remains a standard against which other batteries are compared, we... [03 Jul 2008]
Choosing a Battery That Will Last
White Paper As part of an ongoing research program to find the optimum battery system for wireless applications, Cadex has performed life cycle tests on Nickel Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) and Lithium Ion (Li-ion) batteries. [03 Jul 2008]

Cosmic Spaghetti White Paper
White Paper It takes 2 AA batteries and is reusable. Cosmic Spaghetti is a new EL (electroluminescence) device that gives off a glow comparable to that of a glow stick. The length of the string is 48" and can shaped into your designs. [03 Jul 2008]
When Was the Battery Invented?
White Paper As awkward and unreliable as the early batteries may have been, our descendants may one day look at today’s technology in a similar way to how we view our predecessors’ clumsy experiments of 200 years ago. [03 Jul 2008]
SF-DeviL: An Algorithm for Energy-Efficient Bluetooth Scatternet Formation and Maintenance
White Paper A scatternet should be formed in such a way that batteries of mobile devices are efficiently used in order to lengthen scatternet lifetime. Bluetooth is a short-range ad hoc networking technology, which enables formation of inexpensive personal... [03 Jul 2008]
Armada Notebook Battery Calibration
White Paper This white paper describes the methods by which Armada E/M/V series notebook batteries can be calibrated. Armada products feature a high-capacity battery that provides a more accurate method for measuring remaining capacity than was offered with... [03 Jul 2008]
Not All Chargers are Alike - Improve Battery Performance with Proper Charge Methods
White Paper However, some temperature rise cannot be avoided when charging nickel-based batteries. To a large extent, the reliability and longevity of a battery hinges on the quality of the charger. In a price competitive market, chargers are often given low... [03 Jul 2008]
Battery Protection Methods - Important Variables to Consider
White Paper Battery circuit breaker coordination is critical where 200 ampere to 2400-ampere DC plants will provide increased DC load through the addition of batteries or rectifiers. Telecommunication battery plant design requires compromises constrained by... [03 Jul 2008]
Apps Control from the Ground Up
White Paper Yet every day corporations wrestle with client/server applications that are as manageable as a remote-controlled toy car with dead batteries. If you're building applications for small departmental workgroups of 20 to 50 users, the most practical... [03 Jul 2008]
Architecture of a Simplified Concept for Energy and the Technical Environment
White Paper Conversely, the substitute source will be drawn on directly in order to maintain the charge in the batteries incorporated into the UPS. One possibility for reducing costs, without compromising quality of service, consists in simplifying the... [03 Jul 2008]
