Battery spec summary

The post is New Battery Charging Solutions for Li-ion Cells but it features an interesting table of battery parameters by battery type of a sort seldom seen. The parameters include such things as cycle life and energy density by both volume and weight. The battery types include all common ones from lead acid to lithium varieties.

The implications of these parameters sometimes blow by specifications or marketing label adherents. For instance, cycle life is seldom considered against actual usage.

That article puts the table in perspective in terms of the challenges engineers face in choosing battery technologies and charging techniques to support their choice in a particular application. The article cites
Application Note 676, “New Developments in Battery Chargers,” November 2011, Maxim Integrated.
