Battery Management System with Life Indicator for Battery Packs

Overview

This design is tailored for battery-powered applications that require a charging system with a mechanism for displaying battery life. The E-paper display provides a low-power option for a life indicator, allowing users to check battery status at any time.

System Benefits:

  • The fuel gauge IC (FGIC) with an integrated RL78 MCU provides a full battery management system, ensuring accurate monitoring and control.
  • Wireless power system enables easy power charging with an additional USB-C input for flexible power options.
