# Battery-Monitoring Technologies This New Technology from Stanford Prevents Battery Overheating By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-01-14 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/battery-overheating References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/battery-overheat-prevention/41308/) & [news.stanford.edu](http://news.stanford.edu/news/2016/january/safe-battery-toggle-011116.html) Created by [Stanford University](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/llzo-electrolytes) researchers, this new technology is aimed at preventing battery overheating and helping to make personal electronic devices safer. The technology would be incorporated into [Lithium Ion batteries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lithiumion-battery-fires) and would work by keeping an eye on the temperature. As soon as a temperature of 160-degrees Fahrenheit is detected, the battery would cease operations and not turn back on until a cool temperature is detected. Aimed to revolutionize the smartphone, laptop and tablet market, the [battery overheating prevention technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solidstate-cooling-technology1) could help to decrease the number of instances of device overheating. Best of all, the technology could be implemented with existing batteries, which could help to accelerate the rate at which the technology is used with consumer products. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Battery Overheating Prevention:** Developing technologies to prevent battery overheating can increase safety and reliability of electronic devices. - **Lithium Ion Battery Monitoring Systems:** By developing battery monitoring systems, consumers can avoid battery failure and enjoy uninterrupted usage. - **Smart Electronic Devices Safety:** Advanced safety features in electronic devices allow consumers to use their devices without worrying about overheating or other hazards. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** Incorporation of battery monitoring technologies in consumer electronics can increase consumer safety and product reliability. - **Battery Manufacturing:** By developing advanced battery monitoring and safety technologies, battery manufacturers can gain a competitive advantage in the market. - **Research and Development:** Developing new battery monitoring and safety technologies present opportunities for dedicated research and development activities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Safety-Focused Power Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/movespeed-solidstate-battery.md) - [Battery-Protecting Charger Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leo-battery-life-extender.md) - [High-Density Battery Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/energydense-lithium-batteries.md) - [Nanoscale Silver Battery Coatings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/llzo-electrolytes.md) - [Safe Battery Storage Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/safecase.md) - [Next-Generation Battery Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/battery-system.md) - [Innovative Charging Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charging-technology1.md) - [Ultra-Thin Battery Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/energy-storage-technology.md) - [Portable Painkilling Drug Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drug-tracker.md)
