  DESIGN IDEAS L Smart Battery Charger
  for Battery Backup
  Introduction
  The most common power source used
  for backup power is a battery. In a
  backup power system it is important to
  know if the battery is ready and reliable
  at all times by constantly monitoring
  its health and state of charge. Smart
  Batteries are currently the best available industry standard system that
  can satisfy these requirements.
  Two important features of Smart
  Battery Systems (SBS) are that they
  are battery chemistry independent and
  provide a built-in gas gauge. Because
  the charging system no longer carries
  the burden of charge monitoring and
  applying chemistry-specific charge
  algorithms, the charger itself can be
  truly generic, accepting any Smart Battery, regardless of type or capacity. A
  host system needs to do nothing other
  than provide a Smart Battery charger
  to guarantee that a healthy battery is …
