Folks, With the indulgence of the list-server administrators (many thanks) and a bit beyond the usual safety/emc (and Friday humor) subject matter, please be advised of a standard development effort recently kicked off by the IEEE, sponsored by Stationary Batteries Committee of the IEEE Power Engineering Society.
The standard underway, IEEE P1625, "Standard for Rechargeable Batteries for Portable Computers," will help guide how battery systems are developed to support mobile computing applications and will focus on system management and control, battery pack communications, energy density and reliability. The standard anticipates smarter battery system designs, including self-monitored charge, discharge and environmental conditions. It will also address redundant protections needed to assure system reliability. More information is available at the IEEE link below. http://standards.ieee.org/announcements/p1625lapbat.html Interested parties with portable battery expertise are invited to inquire and to join in this effort. Inquiries should be placed as directed within the press release (see the link above) or alternatively inquiries can be sent directly to myself at kazimier_gawrzy...@dell.com without reply to the emc-pstc list server. Many Thanks, Kaz Gawrzyjal, P. Eng.
