Battery Monitoring Solutions: Precision and Flexibility

The standard lead acid battery is at the limit of its capability within the modern automobile, especially with the introduction of idle-stop technology, where the car engine is stopped when the car ceases movement. As a result, a sophisticated monitoring system is required to ensure that the battery always has a sufficient charge to re-start. In this article, e2v will describe the requirements of such a system and also outline an implementation which efficiently addresses several application domains within this technology sector.

The increasing amount of electronic equipment and current consumption in the automotive environment means that there is a growing demand for energy management and control in order to guarantee reliable battery performance. The energy management system performs continual battery health diagnosis, which results in an increase of battery life and guarantees that engines start.
