Quality Decision for Overcharged Li Ion Battery from Reliability and Safety Perspective
Quality Decision for Overcharged Li Ion Battery from reliability and safety perspective Feng Leng 1,2, Cher Ming Tan 1,2,*, Rachid Yazami 2,3, Kenza Maher 3, Robert Wang1 1 Nanyang Technological University, School of Electrical Electronics Engineering, Blk S2.1, 50 Nanyang Avenue, Singapore 639798, (Singapore) Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] 2 TUM CREATE PTE LTD, 1 Create Way, #10-02 Create Tower, Singapore 138602, (Singapore) 3 Nanyang Technological University, School of Materials Science and Engineering and Research Institute at Nanyang (ERIAN), Research Techno Plaza, X-Frontier Blk, 50 Nanyang Drive, Singapore 637553, (Singapore) Email: YAZAMI [email protected] Email: Maher [email protected] Abstract During charging of Lithium-ion battery (LiB), the charging cut-off voltage (COV) may exceed the manufacturers’ specification because of incorrect monitoring of the charging control circuit, either due to the ageing of the control circuit or the design/manufacturing errors of the control circuit. In fact, it is found that overcharging LiB cell is a common abuse. This work shows the effect of excessive COV on cell’s discharging ability, and the use of a novel non-destructive method to evaluate if the damage made in the cell by the excessive COV is rendering the cell from further safe usage or it is still acceptable with minor degradation in reliability and safety, thus providing a basis for quality consideration of the cell. The method also enables battery manufacturers to identify the internal components for their cells that are most vulnerable to the excessive COV so that quality improvement of their batteries can be designed and produced. -

EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE Contacts: Jon Newman SEPTEMBER 9, 2008 (804) 788-1414 Russ Martz (412) 497-5775 Heinz Awards Honor Five Eminent Americans with 14th Annual Human Achievement Prize Trailblazers in five categories to share $1.25 million awards PITTSBURGH, September 9, 2008 – Celebrating the unbridled human spirit to change the world around us in ways great and small, in the here and now, and for generations to come, the Heinz Family Foundation today announced the recipients of the 14th annual Heinz Awards, among the largest individual achievement prizes in the world. The $250,000 awards recognize significant accomplishments in five distinct categories – the arts and humanities; the environment; human condition; public policy; and technology, the economy and employment. Each area was of particular interest to John Heinz, the late U.S. Senator for whom the awards are named. The recipients, in their respective categories, are: • Arts and Humanities: Ann Hamilton, 52, visual artist and educator, from Columbus, Ohio • Environment: Thomas FitzGerald, 53, founder and director of the Kentucky Resources Council, from Louisville, Ky. • Human Condition: Brenda Krause Eheart, Ph.D., 64, founder of Generations of Hope and Hope Meadows, from Champaign, Ill. - more - • Public Policy: Robert Greenstein, 62, founder and executive director of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, from Washington, D.C. • Technology, the Economy and Employment: Joseph DeRisi, Ph.D., 38, molecular biologist, researcher and inventor, from San Francisco, Calif. “If history teaches us anything,” said Teresa Heinz, chairman of the Heinz Family Foundation, “it is that civilizations advance on the backs of singular individuals whose inspiration, foresight and determination know no bounds. -
