  • Publication number: 20170155173
    Abstract: A resonating lithium battery device with damping function includes at least two similar cell stacks connected either in series or in parallel. Each of the cell stacks includes a lithium-ion battery and a lithium-ion polymer battery electrically connected in parallel; the lithium-ion battery is an electrically current-type battery contributive to discharging, and the lithium-ion polymer battery is an electrically voltage-type battery contributive to charging. The lithium-ion battery has a capacity that is equal or close to a capacity of the lithium-ion polymer battery. An automatic voltage balancing occurs between the lithium-ion battery and the lithium-ion polymer battery to provide a damping effect as a result of resonance transition, enabling the lithium battery device to charge and discharge faster without causing a rising temperature and accordingly have a prolonged service life.

  • Patent number: 9461483
    Abstract: An electrical energy storage device with damping function is a capacitor-cell battery formed of a plurality of capacitor cells connected in either series or parallel. Each of the capacitor cells includes a supercapacitor and a pseudocapacitor. The supercapacitor is a non-polarized capacitor internally having a separator, and the pseudocapacitor is a polarized electrochemical capacitor. The supercapacitor and the pseudocapacitor are electrically connected in parallel. The supercapacitor has a capacity close to or equal to that of the pseudocapacitor. When charging the capacitor-cell battery, the supercapacitor in every capacitor cell produces a polarization effect, so that electrical energy is charged thereinto as a result of voltage. And, due to a potential balance between the supercapacitor and the pseudocapacitor, the electrical energy charged into the supercapacitor is rapidly transformed into electric current that flows into and is stored in the pseudocapacitor.
