摘要:
A lithium ion battery particularly configured to be able to discharge to a very low voltage, e.g. zero volts, without causing permanent damage to the battery. More particularly, the battery is configured to define a Zero Volt Crossing Potential (ZCP) which is lower than a Substrate Dissolution Potential (SDP) to thus avoid low voltage substrate damage. The configuration includes a lithium nickel cobalt oxide positive active material combined with negative electrode comprising a titanium or titamum alloy substrate having a carbon active material formed thereon.

摘要:
The battery includes a cathode configured to generate oxygen ions during discharge of the battery. The battery also includes an oxygen ion-conducting electrolyte that receives the oxygen ions from the cathode during discharge of the battery. The battery further includes an anode that has an anode active medium positioned in the pores of a porous anode current collector. The anode active medium receives the oxygen ions conducted through the oxygen ion conducting electrolyte during discharge of the battery. Additionally, the anode active medium includes an elemental metal that reacts with the oxygen ions to form a metal oxide during discharge of the battery.

Disclosed is a medical power system for powering an implantable medical device including an implantable rechargeable battery pack, a wearable power source, a power cart, and an external power supply. The system may be used in three modes: 1) Fully disconnected (powered by implanted battery only); 2) Power provided by a wearable power source and/or a portable wheeled power cart via an inductive link, and 3) Nonportable power provided by a non-portable source such as an AC outlet with an uninterruptible power supply. The system includes automatic choice of the optimum source of power depending on the circumstances, and greatly increases “untethered time” a bionic-dependent patient may spend.
摘要:
The power pack includes a plurality of parallel groups. Each parallel group includes a plurality of electrical power sources connected in parallel. The pack also includes a plurality of series groups. Each series group connects in series one of the power sources from each of the parallel groups. The pack also includes a series balancing circuit configured to balance the voltage of the power sources in one of the series groups such that one or more power sources in the series group recharges one or more other power sources in the same series group.

A battery pack includes a porous medium positioned in a case. The porous medium hold several batteries. The battery pack also includes terminals for accessing power from the batteries held by the porous medium. The terminals are accessible from outside of the case. The battery pack also includes a flame retardant absorbed into pores of the porous medium.
摘要:
The battery system includes a battery pack having a plurality of power sources arranged in parallel groups that are connected in series. Each parallel group includes a plurality of power sources connected in parallel. Each power source includes a battery. The system also includes electronics configured to repeatedly charge the battery pack according to a charging protocol. The charging protocol is configured such that the voltage of any one battery in the battery pack does not exceed its maximum operational voltage after failure of a battery in the battery pack.
摘要:
A battery includes a case having an interior holding an electrolyte activating one or more anodes and one or more cathodes. A cover is positioned on the case. The cover includes one or more quenching media that each has a phase transition that occurs at a temperature above a failure temperature of the battery and below a failure temperature of the battery. The failure temperature is the temperature at which a chain reaction associated with thermal runaway is initiated. The failure temperature of the battery is the temperature of the battery at which the thermal runaway causes failure of the battery.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for containing heat generated by a battery to reduce the amplitude of a temperature excursion to enhance safety in temperature critical applications, such as in implantable medical devices. The apparatus employs a heat absorber (38) closely thermally coupled to the battery (30). The heat absorber includes heat-absorbing material preferably exhibiting an endothermic phase change at a temperature below that produced by the battery.
