Title:
BATTERY-POWERED DEVICES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006133432
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
Battery-powered devices in which an energy consumption unit is associated with a heat conductor coupled to the battery-based power supply are described. A portion of the waste heat generated during operation of the energy consumption unit is transferred to the power supply, particularly to the one or more batteries that comprise the energy source of the power supply, The power supply may contain a housing composed of heat-insulating material. Heating of the batteries or battery housing warms the battery (ies), mitigating functional problems associated with battery operation at low temperatures.
