Recall that this is not a calm 06,07 years, the news on the laptop battery is not more than fire is to give manufacturers a headache recall events, to enable its customers for a small piece of the battery daunting. Lithium batteries in the end is the source of power or a bomb?

Find study battery fire mystery

In general, the current lithium battery Laptop Battery pack itself has a more complete protection.

It is not only from the string / multiple batteries in parallel composition, itself contains two kinds of circuit board modules: protection circuit substrate (Protection PCB) module and the Smart Battery Gauge Board module, its design includes a set of first-class battery protection protection IC (to prevent battery overcharge, over discharge, short circuit), the second-level protection IC (to prevent a second over-voltage), fuses, LED direction, temperature regulation and other components.

In a multi-level protection mechanism, even in the power charger, notebook computers unusual circumstances, the laptop battery can only be converted to automatic protection status, if the situation is not serious, often still work after re-plug, not will be an explosion. laptop battery exploded in the face of serious facts, the reporter sought the advice of professionals, as well as electro-chemical apple PowerBook G3 Battery a well-known manufacturers of design engineers.

According to the analysis, lithium batteries is nothing less than an explosion caused by a short circuit or overcharge, the greatest likelihood of a lithium battery in the manufacturing, because of manufacturing process itself flawed, leaving the existence of product safety problems that may occur at any time, for example should be insulation between the poles of metal dust or a copper foil and aluminum foil pierced the membrane of the burr, resulting in micro-short circuits. The former situation is most serious, it will directly result in short-circuit, and a large number of heat production, resulting in vaporization of some of the electrolyte, the battery shell stretch.

In addition, there is a Apple M7318 Battery rather special case, the power charger or computer due to special reasons, the instant to the lithium batteries provide high-voltage / high current leading to a serious over-charge, such as the charging voltage by a sudden rise to 12.9V or 12.6V higher, then there will be a high charging current generation, the battery should be within the circuit moves to cut off charging current, but because part of the lithium battery charging over-voltage, over-current protection function design is weak, which may lead to the battery protection IC is damaged,

So that laptop batteries lose their protection and damage, over-charge the posterior pole around the needle-shaped lithium metal on-chip crystal, piercing points, resulted in a number micro-short circuit, causing the battery temperature gradually increased, until eventually the battery explosion, fire phenomenon, which is currently a lot of laptop battery Apple M8403 Battery "hot" the main reason.

Add a layer of umbrella cover

At present, the protection mechanisms from the point of view, battery charging in front of some of the traditional chip vendors to play most of the programs are precise control of charging voltage and charging current role in the over-voltage and over-current control, and does not provide the appropriate solution program. In this way, the protection of the battery pack is entirely dependent on the battery itself, such as overcharge protection, over-discharge protection, over-charging current protection, over-discharge-current protection, over-temperature protection and so forth.

Protection in place need to prevent first-level protection Apple M9324 Battery IC failure or MOSFET short-circuit caused by over-voltage fault, so the second-level protection IC will normally be considered to protect the battery group of the last line of defense. In this regard, Bump E (O2 Micro) Product Manager, Hong Shi Zhen expressed different views, he believed that the protection for the battery pack can move forward, through the charger additional control functions to achieve detection and control of the battery charge movements, which undoubtedly will further enhance the protection level, to the protection of lithium batteries to use security.

To this end, in the O2 Micro power management for portable devices developed by Cool Charge solution which combines the one called Cool Battery Technology battery protection technology, and its most significant feature is to have a traditional chargers generally do not have the OVP (over Voltage Protection) and OCP (Over Current Protection) function of the two battery protection, this technology has been embedded among the Cool Charge IC chip.

After the adoption of Cool Charge IC chip, the Apple A1185 Battery power charger will largely assume the responsibility to protect the battery. Subject to the Cool Charge IC control, charger, compared with the traditional design, the need for external components significantly reduced, eliminating the need for Q3 and Q4 part of the design, reducing the failure rate. In Q1 preserved and Q2 (components to improve the original design) between, Cool Charge IC set up a detection point, through the factory setting, the detection point voltage with the current settings are slightly less than the battery manufacturers to set safety requirements. Thus, in the charge voltage or current exceeds the Cool Charge IC to set the security after the voltage or current value, IC on the control of Q2 off, first cut off before the battery protection charging; from detecting the frequency point of view, the battery protection, detection time interval in milliseconds level, through-chip detection, can be very easy to achieve millionth of a Apple A1175 Battery second level, you can use very high frequency of continuous detection, thus realizing the first step to protect laptop battery pack purposes.

Thin, high capacity, long life, these are the outstanding characteristics of lithium. For this reason, lithium-ion battery, it has rapidly replaced the nickel-metal hydride, nickel cadmium batteries role as notebook computers and other portable devices optimized for power endurance. And the near future, nor any new lithium battery technology can replace the mainstream. We have to use the notebook computers in peacetime, and pay attention to safety, they can effectively avoid safety accidents.
