"Mil Ovan, senior vice president and cofounder of FireflyLaptop Battery Energy, said “Conventional deepcycle lead acid batteries used in truck starting show sizeable Laptop Battery performance dropoff after some 200 deep discharge cycles.” He noted the Firefly Energy battery will deliver greater
reliability and longer service life because it is capable of achieving more than triple the deep cycles while still maintaining over 90 percent of its initial capacity. “In trucking, this means our battery can be expected to last three to five times longer than the best performing valve regulated lead acid batteries..."
Yeah, I saw that chart too. The depth of discharge has a pretty dell laptop battery radical effect on cycle life. At a 60% discharge level, the chart shows about 6000 cycles until failure. At an 80% discharge, it looks like 5000 cycles until failure. The chart doesn't mention what constitutes "failure". It also doesn't show actual percent of capacity retained vs. the number of charge cycles, so I have no idea how long theLatitude C610would remain serviceable for day to day use. I suspect the 3D type batteries would have a longer service life in a PHEV application, but that's just a guess until I find the spec sheet. It should be interesting to see which version Firefly uses in its first PHEV application, the 3D or 3D2Latitude C640.Arrgg... well, I guess I can wait a month. Funny that you should mention off grid applications. If these Firefly truck batteries are cheap enough, they may become the battery of choice for off grid applications. Even for people with grid power, a generator-battery combo unit might come in handy during power outagesRather1691P disappointing, actually. The "brochure" on Inspiron 2200 their website indicates about 50% more cycle life, far from the order of magnitude projections they have advertised. It does advertise 45% greater volume per liter, but doesn't provide an actual number. 45% greater than what? A standard lead-acid? The best on the market? It would be 75UYFnice if they provided a little more information

LTC4085’s unique features is the AC adapter can detectLaptop Battery the access and use it as a system to load at the same time the power supply to charge the battery back-up power supply. LTC4085 also provides an AC adapter in the case of access to the value of higher than USB specifications allow (100/500mA) rating of (up to 1.5A) for the battery to charge for the option, which will be able to significantly To increase the speed of the battery charge. The total charge for the 312-0292 terminationdell laptop battery of the charging time by an external resistor to set up. When the charge current decreases, the charge cycle timer will automatically be extended to ensure that the batteries are always full state of charge. Additional features include automaticInspiron 500m recharge, NTC thermistor input, AC adapter input is removed automatically switch to the battery, into current limit, reverse current isolation, and the heat adjustment Undervoltage closed.

LTC4085 floating voltage for the pre-4.2V, 0 ~ 85 ℃ temperature range to ensure the accuracy of 0.8 percent. Charge current can easily use a resistor to set up. For battery pre-charge and temperature appropriate certification will automatically to 10% of the current programming Inspiron 510mon the full discharge of the battery for trickle charge until the INSPIRON 2600 battery voltage exceeds 2.8V up. LTC4085 application circuit shown in Figure 1.

Like GPS navigation devices, PDA, digital cameras, digital photo reader, MP3/MP4 players, and other handheld devices, to provide USB and high input voltage battery charger as well as the ability to have many advantages, such as USB power so you do not have to have On the road to bring the convenience of travel charger installed, from a laptop or other PC with a USB port of your deviceInspiron 600m for power supply equipment. Such as FireWire, 12 ~ 24V AC adapter or car adapter INSPIRON 2650 output on-board high-voltage power input can provide higher than the speed of USB charging, and allow in more places (such as motor vehicles), for charging, which is to improve Portable device one of the keys.

Convenience and high-power characteristics

LTC4089 and LTC4089-5 is a portable USB Latitude D500device’s own power manager, ideal diode controller and high-voltage-independent, high-efficiency battery charger. In order to achieve high efficiency charging, their switching topology can adapt to all kinds of input, including up to 36V (max 40V) high-voltage power supply (such as 12V AC adapter, car adapter and FireWire ports). In addition, they accept such as 5V and the USB adapter, and other low-voltage power supply. LTC4089-5 with PowerPath control feature from the bus, or USB AC adapter to power supply equipment, and equipment single 1G222 lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, but also in a serious shortage of electricity or run out of battery case Under “immediate access” to operate. LTC4089 typical application circuit shown in Figure 2.
