◦
◦
◦
◦
Methanol

Very Portable (shape, weight)
Most commonly used

Battery chemicals can be
◦
◦
◦
◦
Corrosive
Poisonous
Inflammable
Flammable
Remove batteries from electronics when not in use… IE
WHEN SHIPPING!
26
Environmental Concerns
Most batteries are only toxic to the environment in
California
Batteries may be harmful or fatal if swallowed
Secondary cells are usually far more toxic then primary
cells
Materials in batteries can be cheaply reconstituted into
new batteries
27
Lithium Secondary Batteries
Lithium
◦ LiMnO2
Lithium Ion
◦ LiCoO2
Lithium Polymer (Li-poly, LiPo)
◦ LiMnO2 or LiCoO2
◦ Electrolyte is held in a solid polymer and not in an organic
solvent
28
Lithium Ion
Popular for portable electronics
One of the best energy-to-weight ratios
No memory effect
Very low charge loss
29
Lithium Polymer
Electrolyte is held in solid polymer
◦ Polyethylene Oxide
◦ Polyacrylonitrile
Modular Shape
Lower cost (and falling)
Rugged (temperature, cycles)
Impressive death by puncture

33
Constant Voltage
Basically a DC power supply
Used with
◦ Lead Acid
◦ Lithium Ion
◦ Lithium polymer
34

◦
NiCad
NiMH
Lithium Ion
Lithium polymer
35
Charging Lithium Ion/Polymer
Step 1 – Apply charging current limit until the voltage
limit per cell is reached.
Step 2 – Apply maximum voltage per cell limit unit the
current declines below 3% of rated charge current
Step 3 – Apply top off charge when cell voltage drops
36
Pulse Charge
37
Specialized Charging
Trickle charging a lithium battery will damage it!
Pulse charging is the most energy efficient method
38

Nifty Usage
53

Uses photovoltaic cells (PV)
Cell efficiency ranges from 7-16+%
Produces DC without rectification
DC output can vary greatly depending on
◦ Light source availability
◦ Inclination of the cell
◦ Temperature
54
Solar
Efficiencies are rapidly rising
Mass-production cost are rapidly falling
Best used to augment standing DC supply
Storage of energy reduces efficiency
55

62
Battery Storage
Un-regulated trickle charging possible for lead acid
batteries
Pulse charging required for Li-ion/Poly
Can be “plugged in” for quick charge
High energy density
Battery cycles limit the lifetime of the storage
Leakage ≈ 10%/month
63
Capacitor Storage
Low Leakage is key
Best used in applications where timing of operations is
not important
ESR should not matter unless high drain applications are
planned
64
Super Capacitors
Regular capacitor area is measured by the
area of the plates separating the dielectric
Super caps utilize highly porous carbon
materials
◦ ≈2000 square meters of surface area per gram
