Advanced Battery Diagnostics: The Future of Reliability

Advanced battery diagnostics is like a medical examination that involves complex pharmaceutical tests.

The end goal in battery testing is assessing the remaining useful life in capacity, the leading health indicator. 

Battery testing is divided into two basic methods. One is reading captured performance data stored in the Smart Battery System (SMBus) with portable devices; another is taking the electrochemical evidence of larger batteries with a matrix serving as lookup tables. These matrices are reference data like face recognition evaluated by AI. 

Capacity readings are important, a reference made visible with a study provided by Johnston Control in Germany that shows that 48% of starter batteries fail by insufficient capacity while only 12% quit by low CCA (Cold Cranking Amps, is a rating used in the automotive industry to determine how well a battery can perform in cold temperatures).  

Scientists envision the future of battery diagnostics in EIS (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy), a technology that has not yet been fully explored. Cadex was first to measure battery capacity by EIS. 

Key innovations in battery testing include: 

  • Matrix-Based Testing: Batteries are assessed using a reference matrix, similar to AI-driven face recognition, ensuring accuracy by comparing new, used, and weak batteries.
  • EIS Technology: Unlike traditional resistance-based testing, EIS provides a deeper understanding of battery capacity, ensuring that batteries with sufficient energy stay in use longer while detecting early signs of failure.
  • Spectro™ Battery Monitoring: This system categorizes batteries by health levels, allowing for proactive maintenance and planned replacements before unexpected failures.

As batteries begin assuming critical function, the remaining useful life must be always known to prevent unexpected failures. Capacity estimation with EIS is new with promises to exceed expectation once fully developed. More is possible by improving the Matrix Integrity Levels to get a full insight into the battery architecture by evaluating the electrochemical evidence.

Memory Protection Devices, Inc. (MPD) is an ISO 9001 certified global manufacturer of battery holders, battery contacts, auto plugs, auto sockets, fuse holders, DC jacks, DC plugs, and other electronic components and devices. Our parts are manufactured to rigorous standards in factories located around the world, which meet not only our quality requirements, but our social ones as well. We believe that many components have not been given as much thought as they deserve, and every day we work to find the next innovative design. After all, a defective component can cause complete failure in most devices, and a poorly designed one can cause many inconveniences to end users. It is due to this core value that MPD is viewed as the industry’s leading innovator.
Corporate History
MPD was originally founded in 1980 by three executives with a wealth of experience in the electronics industry. Today, the company is being led into an era of fresh growth under a new president with over 30 years of experience. The company’s name, Memory Protection Devices, refers to the initial usage of our battery holders, which was to power CMOS RAM, a special type of computer memory that is used to store system settings. Although we are still protecting memory with our battery holders, MPD has since branched out and we now have a diverse line of products.
Fair Labor Policy
We firmly believe that fair trade includes having a positive and meaningful impact on the working and living conditions of the many workers involved in manufacturing our products around the world. We are committed to having our factories meet not only our products’ quality standards, but MPD’s social ones as well. Afterall, MPD is not just a manufacturer, but a part of the community we serve.

Mascot – a Scandinavian Pioneer in Electronics

Founded in 1938, Mascot was one of the radio manufacturing pioneers in Norway. From day one, our focus has been on meeting our customer’s demands, relentlessly finding ways to improve the quality of our products, and develop innovative solutions for our customers.

In 1953, Mascot was the first Norwegian manufacturer to introduce car radios in Norway. During the 1950s, Mascot radios became widely popular due to their superior reception, both in Norway and in mountainous regions in Europe and the Near and Middle East. In the early 1960s, Mascot even established a manufacturing joint venture in Turkey to meet the demand in this region.

Market Adaptability

Our experience goes well beyond radios and manufacturing abroad, however. As the radio business became increasingly competitive throughout the 1960s, Mascot looked to utilize its development and manufacturing know-how in new ways and found an exciting emerging market in telephone answering machines. For over 35 years, Mascot manufactured these machines under the brand name Ekkofon, which for many businesses became synonymous with the name for an answering machine.

From radios to power supplies

In addition to our manufacturing base, Mascot started in the 1970s also to import stereo and video equipment from the Far East. These were sold under both the Mascot and Silver brand names, and this continued until 1989.

The power supply business came out of the need for battery eliminators for Radios. These were promoted for the first time in 1964. The range of power supply products has grown considerably since then, reflecting changes in customer demands and technology.

Mascot today

Today, Mascot is a leading manufacturer of power supplies and battery chargers. Our main offices are located in Fredrikstad, Norway, and production can either take place in our own facilities in Tallinn, Estonia, or in Ningbo, China. With this flexibility, we are prepared to serve your needs for quality products at competitive prices and lead times.

Product line

Mascot offers a wide range of power supplies, desktop or wall plug style:

  • AC/AC
  • AC/DC
  • DC/DC Converters
  • DC/AC Inverters
  • Battery chargers for Li-Ion, NiMH, and Lead Acid batteries

Custom design

In addition to our standard product range, we have broad experience in developing and manufacturing power supplies designed from customers’ own specifications. These can range from small modifications of existing standard models to entirely new models, encapsulated or open frame. Contact us for a quote, and experience the Mascot way of doing business: True to the power of quality.
