    Abstract: These present disclosure provides a flexible battery comprising a top layer and a bottom layer coupled at a number of attachment points to form chambers within the battery to retain a shape of the battery under an increase in internal pressure. The flexible battery can include an anode and separator and a cathode, where the separator is a flexible polymer.

    Abstract: Generally, this disclosure provides systems, devices and methods for extending charge cycle life of rechargeable batteries through the use of constrained anode fibers. A battery may include a porous anode fiber configured to produce electrons during discharge of the battery. The battery may also include and an anode current collector layer, configured to provide a conductive path to a first terminal of the battery, wherein the anode current collector layer is concentrically disposed on the anode fiber to constrain expansion of the anode fiber during charging of the battery. The porosity of the anode fiber allows for the constrained expansion to be directed radially inward, decreasing the volume of the porous regions of the anode fiber.

    Abstract: An electronic system may include a charging device and an electronic device. The charging device may include an input port, a charge circuit, a storage, and a connector device. The charging device may receive a direct current (DC) voltage at the input port. The charge circuit may receive the DC voltage and provide a charged voltage to the storage. The electronic device may include a body, a battery, a first pad directly on the battery and a second pad directly on the battery. The battery may receive the DC charged voltage when the electronic device is coupled to the charging device.

    Abstract: A microcontroller, processor, and/or software (SW) monitors a battery degradation indicator such as battery State-Of-Health (SOH), impedance or other attributes, and calculates battery degradation rate and regulates burst power, battery charging speed and/or battery charging limit to meet users' expectation of battery service life. The microcontroller, processor, and/or SW increases the burst power, battery charging speed and/or battery charging limit when 1/SOH or impedance change rate (or related parameter) is smaller than expected and there is more longevity budget than expected. In another example, the microcontroller, processor, and/or SW decreases the burst power, battery charging speed and/or battery charging limit when 1/SOH or impedance change rate (or related parameter) is greater than expected and there is less longevity budget than expected.
