In addition to setting criteria for design analysis 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 and overall system considerations.
The revision effort, IEEE P1725, is being developed within the IEEE Standards Association Corporate Program in which each participating member entity (such as corporations or other institutions) has one vote. This industry-oriented program often allows for standards creation in one to two years, depending on participant commitment and the use of IEEE support services. The program also provides a route to international acceptance for a standard based on the IEEE’s broad ties to the international standards community.
The Cell Phone Battery Working Group will hold its first meeting on 16-18 February 2010 in Washington, DC. The meeting will serve to review and refine the group’s processes and procedures and to nominate and elect the group’s officers. The existing standard will also be reviewed at this first meeting, and other dates and locations for future meetings will be established.
