2 Conclusion

Batteries are increasingly becoming a part of medical technology because of the demand for a smaller solution size to enable portability. The ability to use a device to continuously monitor a patient's health without worrying about battery failures helps to improve the medical industry. As aforementioned, there are numerous benefits to battery fuel gauges such as: State of Charge, capacity estimation, battery protection and authentication, and extended run-time. Texas Instruments offers a broad portfolio selection of battery gauges with small footprints, superior accuracy, and low power consumption. TI’s battery management solutions offer robust algorithms for gauging accuracy. Please refer to Table 1 for a more detailed fuel gauge selection and Related Information for more information on medical applications and battery gauging.
