SunDuino – Run your C application using solar power

SunDuino is a Single Board Computer with integrated Battery Charger, Voltage Regulators, I2C, Digital and Analog IO. It’s main benefit is that it can run a compiled C app for years on a small battery or forever using built in solar charger. A background RTOS provides SLEEP functions for reducing operating current to 100ua while providing 125ms periodic wakeups.

One step closer to the ‘ultimate battery’

With a theoretical energy density that is being compared to gasoline, Li-air batteries are expected to have 10× the energy density of a Li-ion battery. With the ability to be recharged more than 2,000×, this battery is 90% more efficient. The future goal? To use lithium-air batteries for electric vehicles. Some challenges still need to

Samsung Researchers Nearly Double Lithium-ion Battery Capacity

a) A low-magnification tunneling electron microscope (TEM) image of Gr–Si nanoparticle (NP). (b) A higher-magnification image for the same Gr–Si NP from the white box in a. (Insets) The line profiles from the two red boxes indicate that the interlayer spacing between graphene layers is ~3.4 Å, in good agreement with that of typical graphene layers

LiTiny- A Tiny LiIon charger for most things battery

Lithium Batteries are indispensable. I have a few project like my own DIY Badge [Post Soon] or a Light Wand for Light Photography and an in-progress Mobile Rejuvenator which use lithium batteries ,usually those re-purposed ones that are sold in Local markets for Solar Lanterns with a capacity of 1100mAh. The lazy me used to

Buck-Boost Converters Help Extend Battery Life for Motion Detection

Contributed by Publitek European Editors 4/9/2013 Many security and motion detector systems rely on small, semi-autonomous nodes that are easy and simple to install. This implies the use of a battery-based power source and low-power operation in order to minimize the number of battery changes during the lifetime of the product. Over its lifetime, the
