IEEE to Redefine Cell Phone Battery Standard

Dec 17, 2009, 8:53 PM by Eric M. Zeman

Today the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) stated that it plans to revise the existing standard that governs the design and manufacture of rechargeable lithium ion and lithium ion polymer batteries. The current standard (IEEE Std 1725) has been in place since 2006, and the IEEE feel that it is now outdated due to the increasing adoption of connected devices. The IEEE said in a prepared statement, "In addition to setting criteria for qualification, quality, and reliability of rechargeable lithium ion and lithium ion polymer batteries, the standard also addresses battery pack electrical and mechanical construction, packaging technologies, and pack and cell level charge and discharge controls." The IEEE has established the Cell Phone Battery Working Group to tackle the revisions. The group will hold its first meeting in February 2010.
