    Abstract: An electronic device, including a housing that is metal or lined with an electrically conductive material, at least one electrical component, and a battery cell positioned in a cavity in the outer housing, the battery cell integrated into the electronic device. The battery cell includes a first current collector and an active cell core. The first current collector is the electrically conductive material of the outer housing of the electronic device and connects to the at least one electrical component. The active cell core includes a first active material in adjacent facing relation to and electrically coupled to the first current collector, a second active material; a separator positioned between the first active material and the second active material; and a second current collector electrically coupled with the second active material, wherein the second current collector connects to the at least one electrical component.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for estimating a full-charge battery cell capacity without a coulomb counting device. First and second measured voltages of the battery cell are measured during a charging or discharging period. The first and second measured voltages of the battery cell are converted to percentages of remaining battery life. The amount of charge delivered to the battery cell and/or delivered from the battery cell during charging/discharging is calculated. The change in the percentage of remaining battery life is compared to the amount of charge delivered to the battery cell and/or delivered from the battery cell to calculate various battery cell evaluation calculations, including a full-charge battery cell capacity.

    Abstract: A system for increasing the life of a battery cell by limiting the charging of the battery to less than full charge in response to a predicted electricity draw of a connected device being less than the full capacity of the battery before a predicted recharge will occur. The current draw of the connected device may be affected by the amount of time before a next recharge and environmental factors. The system may further comprise one or more sensors to gather data pertaining to environmental conditions that may be used in the calculation of a charge termination value. The charge termination value is an amount of charge to power the device for a duration of time at least until a predicted recharge begins.

    Abstract: A battery includes a plurality of battery cells between first and second electrically conductive fabrics. The first electrically conductive fabric includes a first battery terminal. The second electrically conductive fabric includes a second battery terminal. The first electrically conductive fabric and the second electrically conductive fabric are framed to provide an enclosed region. The plurality of battery cells are arranged in parallel between the first electrically conductive fabric and the second electrically conductive fabric within the enclosed region. Each of the plurality of battery cells is configured to establish an electrical connection, at least temporarily, with the first battery terminal through the first electrically conductive fabric and the second battery terminal through the second electrically conductive fabric.

    Abstract: A battery cell structure, a system including the structure, and a method of fabricating the structure. The structure includes: a cell housing; a cathode in the cell housing, the cathode including a cathode material; a cathode current collector adjacent the cathode in the cell housing; an anode in the cell housing, the anode including an anode material; an anode current collector adjacent the anode in the cell housing; a separator in the cell housing between the cathode and the anode. The cathode material comprises a recycled material including a contaminant, and the battery cell structure further includes a solid-state electrolyte disposed in the cell housing to at least partially prevent the contaminant from growing.
