  • ESTIMATING INTRINSIC RESISTANCE OF A COIN CELL BATTERY
    Publication number: 20240053409
    Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for determining intrinsic resistance and/or battery life of a coin cell battery based on the recovery time of the battery voltage after a significant current draw event. Once the intrinsic resistance and/or battery life is known, a device powered by the coin cell battery can take action to lengthen the battery's useful lifetime. One example technique of operating a device powered by a battery generally includes performing an operation with a relatively high current draw from the battery compared to other operations of the device, determining a recovery time of a voltage of the battery after the operation, and estimating a position of the battery in a lifetime of the battery based on the recovery time.
