BATTERY MANAGEMENT: Overview
There are three main components to battery management: Charge Management - Charge management ICs integrate all functionality required to safely charge & rechargeable batteries to maximize capacity and minimize charge time. Battery Fuel Gauging - Battery fuel gauge ICs allow the system to acquire the exact state of battery charge. Battery Protection - Li-Ion battery packs need protection from overcharge or over discharge conditions.
