Freescale Semiconductor Technology to Predict Battery Failure
There’s one thing certain when it comes to car batteries: They die often and they die quickly. Freescale Semiconductor is working on new technology it hopes will take the surprise factor out of dying batteries.
The Austin-based company recently rolled out an intelligent battery sensor for cars that automatically checks a battery’s health and warns the motorist when it is about to fail. The sensor is Freescale’s effort to bring the common lead-acid battery up to par electronically with other advancements in automotive functions.
