Battery Operated Devices and Systems: From Portable Electronics to Industrial Products

Preface
A number of handbooks are available to people working in the battery field, where
batteries are the main subject and their applications are treated in much less detail.
Conversely, there are no books dealing with the large spectrum of applications
powered by batteries. In other words, although some books cover specific topics,
for example portable devices, electric vehicles, energy storage, no books that aim
to summarize all battery applications have thus far been published.
This book aims at bridging this gap, as many applications are reported in detail
and others are mentioned, whereas less emphasis is put on batteries. However,
basic characteristics of batteries and information on the latest developments are
enclosed in a dedicated chapter. As is obvious, a 400-page single-author book
cannot be as exhaustive as a multi-author large handbook. Nevertheless, the reader
may find here, in addition to data on many applications, links to further literature
through themany references that have been included. For researchers, teachers and
graduate students interested in devices and systems drawing power from batteries,
this book will be a useful information source.
In Chapter 1, all applications in the portable and industrial areas are introduced.
Some market considerations follow, with details on the most important
sectors, and a forecast to 2016 for portable devices is enclosed.
In Chapter 2, basic characteristics of all primary and secondary batteries used
in the applications described are reviewed. The most recent trends, especially
for the ubiquitous lithium ion batteries, are mentioned.
In Chapter 3, portable applications, for example mobile phones, notebooks,
cameras, camcorders, several medical instruments, power tools, GPS receivers,
are described with details on their electronic aspects. Particular emphasis is put
on the devices’ power consumption and management for their implications on
battery life and device runtime. The basic features of some electronic components,
for example microprocessors, voltage regulators and displays, are presented
for a better understanding of their energy requirements. Battery
management is also dealt with in detail, particularly in so far as the charging
methods are concerned. The criteria of battery choice are stressed.
Chapter 4, on industrial applications, is the largest one, as it includes aerospace,
telecommunications, emergency systems, load levelling, energy storage, different
meters, data loggers, oil drilling, oceanography, meteorology, robotics, etc. The
final part of this section is devoted to wireless connectivity, that is Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
and Zigbee, exploited in many portable and industrial applications.
Chapter 5 deals with battery usage in vehicular applications. For their specific
interest, these industrial applications are described in a section of their own.
Full electric and hybrid vehicles are presented, and the role that the battery plays
in the vehicle control systems is outlined.
