Bring Your Next Battery Charger Project to Life with Minimum Design Risks
By: Aleksey Pantsirev, Application Marketing Manager for Battery Chargers, Infineon Technologies

­Every day more and more of the devices and equipment used in our daily life are powered by batteries. For example, we can find electronic equipment with batteries around the house, such as cordless power tools, drones, and other domestic robots (e.g., robotic vacuum cleaners, lawnmowers, etc.). At the same time, due to rising fuel prices, government incentives, and rising awareness about air pollution, common modes of transportation such as bicycles, scooters, and mopeds have now also turned into electrical vehicles.
