IEEE BEGINS REVISION OF LAPTOP BATTERY STANDARD

IEEE 1625(TM) Sets Guidelines for Design, Manufacture and Testing of Lithium-Ion Battery Cells and Packs in Laptops

The IEEE will revise its laptop battery standard, IEEE 1625(TM), “IEEE Standard for Rechargeable Batteries for Portable Computing", which is part of the IEEE Livium (TM) family of battery standards. This update targets an improvement in the overall performance of laptop battery systems and seeks to address recent calls to make these systems more reliable and robust.

As the IEEE 1625 working group is considering updates to the existing IEEE 1625 laptop battery specification that will help establish compliance to the standard, the ISTO and the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) are working together to explore conformance and interoperability activities in support of the Livium(TM) family of standards.

This combined effort is the continuation of a joint initiative between ISTO and IEEE-SA to support and enhance the implementation of IEEE Standards. ISTO has the unique ability to support the implementation of IEEE Standards in the marketplace through a wide range of activities, including marketing and communications support, facilitation of conformance and interoperability activities, ecosystem and community development, as well as a host of other program management activities. Together, ISTO and IEEE-SA provide a full suite of support to facilitate the complete life cycle of industry standards. Read more >>
