Maxim Integrated Products (MXIM) recently launched MAX11080, the first high-voltage, 12-channel battery protection chip for high cell-count lithium-ion (Li+) battery stacks.

Lithium ion batteries are in the evolution stage and the fastest growing secondary battery type in the market today. The lithium ion polymer (cobalt, manganese or phosphate) offers high energy density at low weights, which is the primary reason for its growing adoption in notebooks, cell phones and cameras. As the target market continues to expand, the batteries are now being used in automotive, industrial and power line applications as well.

One of the most attractive features of the MAX11080 is that up to 31 devices can be daisy-chained together to monitor up to 372 battery cells, reducing power consumption by 10X and battery management costs by up to 80% in hybrid cars. It also uses 75% less board space than other discrete designs.

All-electric vehicles, such as those provided by EV Innovations, are powered by high energy density and lightweight rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. These batteries, easily charged using household electricity outlets, are discharged during use to power electric motors with zero emissions.

Electric vehicles are very reliable and maintenance free. They do not require oil changes, filter changes or tuning and have less than 1/10th the number of parts a gas car has. EV Innovations believes that the best way to reduce carbon emissions is to utilize the cleaner, greener, and increasingly more renewable grid to power transportation.

The electric powered vehicle is also superior to fuel cell powered vehicles for a number of different reasons. First, fuel cells consume 400% more electricity per mile than a similarly sized electric vehicle. They also emit 12.5 kg of Carbon-di-Oxide per kg of Hydrogen produced, deliver half the driving range
