Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced two new battery management IC solutions for lithium-ion (Li-ion) rechargeable batteries used in industrial equipment, such as electric power tools and E-bikes (bicycles incorporating electric motors).

The solutions based on the RAJ240090, supporting three to eight cells, and RAJ240100, supporting three to ten cells, simplify the design of industrial battery management systems, providing a high degree of safety.

The new solutions support up to ten cells for a maximum 50V capability and are Renesas’ first battery management solutions for Li-ion batteries supporting industrial

applications.

In recent years, Li-ion battery usage has increased from typical mobile applications to industrial applications such as electric power tools, E-bikes, vacuum cleaners, emergency power supplies, and uninterruptable power supplies (UPS).
