Abstract: Battery systems and related methods are provided in which a single battery system may be implemented to have an asymmetric configuration of multiple battery cell blocks that each have the same block charge capacity, and in which all of the battery cell blocks of the single battery system taken together form the asymmetric configuration of multiple battery cell blocks. Each of the multiple battery cell blocks of a single battery system (e.g., battery pack) may be configured with one or more battery cells, the multiple battery cell blocks may be electrically coupled together in series, and at least a first one of the multiple battery cell blocks may have a first internal battery cell configuration that is different from a second internal battery cell configuration of at least a second one of the other multiple battery cell blocks of the same battery system.

Abstract: A system can comprise a shell, one or more battery cells disposed within the shell, and a pressure-directing layer disposed between the battery cell(s) and the shell's interior surface. Each of the battery cell(s) can comprise an enclosure including a gas-impermeable portion and a venting portion configured to permit gas to exit the enclosure. The pressure-directing layer can comprise one or more openings that each overlie the venting portion of the enclosure of at least one of the battery cell(s). In some systems, the pressure-directing layer can have a thickness that is less than a distance between the battery cell(s) and the interior surface of the shell such that there is a space between the battery cell(s) and the interior surface of the shell. In some systems, the pressure-directing layer can be coupled to the battery cell(s) and the interior surface of the shell and comprise a resilient material.

The first power tab may include a proximal end connected to the battery cell, and may provide a first output terminal for the battery cell. The first conducting wire may be connected to a distal end of the first power tab, and may be encircled by the first power tab. The first conducting wire may connect with a power circuit board to provide power from the battery cell.

Abstract: Systems and methods that may be implemented to monitor and record (store) information related to environmental conditions, operating conditions and/or events to which a battery-powered information handling system has been exposed while the battery powered information handling system is not powered. In one embodiment this stored environmental, system operating and/or event information may be made available to one or more system programmable integrated circuits at a following system restart or operating system (OS) boot. Such stored information may be used, for example, to determine one or more actions during a subsequent system restart or OS reboot, and/or to better enable root cause analysis of no-POST (power on self-test) type failures.
