  • Primary battery with internal voltage regulator
    Patent number: 7633261
    Abstract: A battery cell assembly includes a standard size primary high energy density battery cell assembly and a voltage regulator integrated within the battery cell assembly. A method for providing a standard size primary high energy density battery cell assembly includes integrating a voltage regulator circuit into a standard size primary high energy density battery assembly and regulating an output voltage of the high energy density battery cell assembly to match an output voltage of a standard primary battery. Embodiments of the present invention may integrate a voltage regulator into a commercially available primary high energy density battery cell. The voltage regulator as in one embodiment of the present invention may be used to downscale the output voltage of the high energy density battery cell. The high density battery assembly as in embodiments of the present invention may be used in existing equipment currently powered by standard primary batteries.
