11 Battery packs which contain multiple Li-Ion cells are generally manufactured with matched cells and voltage equalizers. The external charging circuitry controls the charging current and monitors the voltage across the entire battery pack. However, the voltage across each cell is also monitored within the pack, and cells which have higher voltage than others are discharged through shunt FETs. If the voltage across any cell exceeds 4.2V, charging must be terminated.

This paper gives 3 different proofs (independently obtained by the 3 authors) of the following fact: given an Anosov flow on an oriented 3 manifold, the existence of a positive Birkhoff section is equivalent to the fact that the flow is $\mathbb{R}$-covered positively twisted.

... During the recharge of a rechargeable or storage cell, the current flow is reversed and oxidation takes place at the positive electrode and reduction at the negative electrode, as shown in Fig. 2(a) [10,12,13]. The capacity of a cell can also be considered on an energy (watt-hour) basis by measuring both the voltage and the quantity of electricity into consideration as in Eqn. 17. ...

Alternative or backup power supply systems are often necessary for homes, offices and industries in Nigeria and other developing countries due to irregular, erratic and unstable mains supply. In most alternative/backup power supply systems, the cost of the batteries exceeds the cost of other components in the system. A battery converts the chemical energy contained in its active materials directly into electric energy by means of an electrochemical oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction. Comprehensive understanding and regular care for the battery are vital for safe, smooth, economical and functional operation of alternative or backup power supply systems. A comprehensive review of Battery Chemistry, Capacity, Characteristics, Maintenance and Charging Techniques is presented. Due to constant power outages, batteries are left in discharged state most of the time, which causes loss of charge capacity and formation of sulfates. This reduces the efficiency of the battery which will affect the entire backup power supply system. Pulse charging technique has been found to decompose the formed sulfates in batteries.Introducing a smart charge controller that will apply constant voltage and pulse charging techniques to recharge the battery has been found to improve the service life of the battery.
... Although Android APIs do not expose the actual capacity in mAh, we can determine the relative remaining capacity or capacity loss from the final voltage. Figure 4(a) shows that the relation between these two is linear [7]. Every 10 mV reduction in the final voltage is equivalent to 1% capacity loss. ...
For better reliability and prolonged battery life, it is important that users and vendors understand the quality of charging and the performance of smartphone batteries. Considering the diverse set of devices and user behavior it is a challenge. In this work, we analyze a large collection of battery analytics dataset collected from 30K devices of 1.5K unique smartphone models. We analyze their battery properties and state of charge while charging, and reveal the characteristics of different components of their power management systems: charging mechanisms, state of charge estimation techniques, and their battery properties. We explore diverse charging behavior of devices and their users.
