IEEE Sets Standard for Cell Phone Batteries

The IEEE has completed a standard to make rechargeable lithium-ion and lithium-ion polymer batteries for cellular phones more reliable and robust. The new standard, IEEE Livium(TM) 1725, "Standard for Rechargeable Batteries for Cellular Telephones," is the first to adopt a systems approach in setting

uniform criteria for battery design, production and evaluation.

The standard considers cell and battery pack electrical and mechanical construction, process control, chemistries, charge and discharge controls, and packaging technologies, among other areas. It was developed within the IEEE Corporate Standards Program by companies that manufacture battery cells, battery packs and cell phones.
