What are the advantages of a smart charger? What are the advantages of a sophisticated smart battery charger? The sophisticated intelligent battery charging system is mainly applied to the intelligent battery, and the main function of the intelligent battery charger is to charge the intelligent battery. This smart charging mainly communicates with the smart charger through the SMBus interface, and can optionally communicate with the host. Compared with fixed independent chargers, smart battery chargers have the following advantages:
① True plug and play, not affected by battery chemistry and battery configuration. Any Smart Battery Pack will work with any Smart Battery Charger. Batteries with different chemistries, configurations, and even different charging algorithms can be swapped for the charger circuit without modification.
② Built-in safety function. The SBS standard provides watchdog timers and a special "safe signal" interface between the battery and charger.
③ Reliable battery detection system.
④ Automatic charging management, no host required.
⑤ Closed-loop charging system without host intervention. The host can collect power measurement information as needed.
To prevent overcharging due to loss of SMBus functionality, a watchdog timer runs continuously to monitor how often the smart battery talks to the charger. However, this kind of smart charger has not been popularized in our power supply industry at present, mainly because it is widely used in communication systems. It is believed that through the continuous development of science and technology, the intelligent charging system of the power industry will also develop more perfect, providing safer and more reliable energy storage services for the power industry.
