This class is designed for hardware and firmware engineers who are moving beyond simple single-cell battery products, and into multi-cell designs. This may be because you need high peak power, high-voltage, or longer run-times in your application. You also might be needing advanced functions, such as charge management, fuel-gauging, charge balancing, authentication, or simply need a customer replaceable battery in your application.
