DESCRIPTION
The DS2435 Battery Identification Chip with Time/Temperature Histogram provides a convenient
method of tagging and identifying battery packs by manufacturer, chemistry, or other identifying
parameters. The DS2435 allows the battery pack to be coded with a unique identification number and also
store information regarding the battery life and charge/discharge characteristics in its nonvolatile
memory.
The DS2435 performs the essential function of monitoring battery temperature without the need for a
thermistor in the battery pack. A time/temperature histogram function stores the amount of time that the
battery has been in one of its eight user definable temperature bands, allowing more accurate self-
discharge calculations to be carried out by the user for determining remaining battery capacity. The on-
board elapsed time counter provides a method that can even determine the amount of time that a battery
pack has been in storage, allowing for a more accurate self-discharge determination.
