Abstract

Rechargeable batteries are increasingly used for portable product, motive power, and stationary power applications, including computers, cellular phones, industrial vehicles, and in uninterruptible and emergency power supplies. This revolution in battery power has been made possible through a systems approach that includes advanced batteries, microcontroller battery chargers, and power conditioners and converters. One result is the "smart" battery system, once used only for expensive electronic devices, but now widely used in portable products and even vehicle batteries. Ultimately, important new markets for battery control technology will develop, including a variety of consumer stationary and consumer vehicle markets. This new BCC Business Opportunity Report discusses and evaluates the technology and market sectors behind the revolution, and provides historic, current, and predicted U.S. market values, through 2009.
