Abstract
Devices, systems, methods, computer-implemented methods, and/or computer program products to facilitate an intelligent battery cell with integrated monitoring and switches are provided. According to an embodiment, a device can comprise active battery cell material. The device can further comprise an internal circuit coupled to the active battery cell material and comprising: one or more switches coupled to battery cell poles of the device; and a processor that operates the one or more switches to provide a defined value of electric potential at the battery cell poles.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- active battery cell material;
- and
- an internal circuit coupled to the active battery cell material and comprising:
- one or more switches coupled to battery cell poles of the device;
- and
- a processor that operates the one or more switches to provide a defined value of electric potential at the battery cell poles.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- operating, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, one or more switches of an internal circuit integrated in a battery cell device using electrical energy stored in the battery cell device;
- and
- providing, by the system, a defined value of electric potential at battery cell poles of the battery cell device based on the operating.
A device, comprising:
- active battery cell material;
- and
- an internal circuit coupled to the active battery cell material and comprising at least one electronic component that uses electrical energy from the active battery cell material to operate.
