The rechargeable Li-Ion/Li-Poly batteries are widely
used in today’s portable Consumer Electronics (CE).
Commonly seen Li-Poly batteries are Li-Ion Polymer
batteries that use a solid polymer separator and share
the same charge algorithm with Li-Ion batteries. Thus,
Li-Ion batteries will represent both Li-Ion and Li-Poly
batteries in this application note. Because of the
growing features and the increasing size of the display
in a portable electronic product, the battery usage is
also modifying. The daily battery charging frequency
increases, and it becomes important to operate a
device while charging its battery.
The traditional method to design a battery-powered
system is to connect the system load directly on the
battery. The system load continuously discharges the
Li-Ion battery and costs a battery’s life cycle. In order to
maximize the life cycle of Li-Ion batteries, it is
recommended to terminate the charge properly and
power the system from the input power supply, when it
