Mixed cell type battery module and uses thereof

摘要

Various embodiments are generally directed to operation of a computing device powered with first and second sets of energy storage cells, the cells of the first set structurally optimized for higher density storage of electric power, and the cells of the second set structurally optimized for providing electric power at a high electric current level. A battery module includes a casing, a first cell disposed within the casing to store electric energy with a high density, and a second cell disposed within the casing to provide electric energy stored therein with a high current level. Other embodiments are described and claimed herein.

主权项

1. A controller comprising logic to:
provide electric power from a first cell optimized to store electric energy with a relatively high density to a main processor circuit of a computing device when the computing device is operated in a lower power mode, the first cell comprising a first energy storage layer, a first anode conductor and a first cathode conductor; and provide electric power from a second cell optimized to provide electric energy with a relatively high current level to the main processor circuit when the computing device is operated in a higher power mode, the second cell comprising a second energy storage layer, a second anode conductor and a second cathode conductor, the second energy storage layer to be thinner than the first energy storage layer, the second anode conductor to be thicker than the first anode conductor, and the second cathode conductor to be thicker than the second anode conductor.
