Battery Management
Battery Management is a multidisciplinary concept involving the monitoring, control, and optimization of rechargeable battery systems to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable operation. It encompasses hardware and software techniques for tasks like state-of-charge estimation, cell balancing, thermal management, and protection against overcharging or deep discharging. This is critical in applications ranging from consumer electronics to electric vehicles and grid energy storage.
Developers should learn Battery Management when working on projects involving battery-powered devices, such as IoT sensors, smartphones, drones, or electric vehicles, to extend battery life and prevent safety hazards. It's essential for optimizing energy efficiency in embedded systems and renewable energy storage, where accurate battery state estimation and thermal control are key to performance and longevity.
