The LTC6801 is a high-voltage battery-stack fault-monitor that operates without a microprocessor and without the need for optocouplers or isolators. Each monitor device monitors up to 12 ...

Researchers at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) in China have developed a 70 kW-level vanadium flow battery stack. The newly designed stack comes in 40% below current 30 kW-level stacks ...

There are many challenges associated with high-voltage Li-ion battery-stack management in all-electric or hybrid automotive applications. Charge and discharge cycles must be monitored and controlled, ...

Paul Rako takes a look back at the transformer-based prototype built by the legendary Jim Williams and his compatriot Mark Thoren, which relates well in today’s burgeoning EV environment. 1. This is ...

One of the big stumbling blocks preventing the wide scale acceptance of electric cars is dreaded range anxiety. With an average range of around 100 mi (161 km) per charge, all-electric vehicles still ...
