Scott F. Eisenhart is the Director of the Battery Management product line at Texas Instruments.Scott has been with TI for over 17 years and has held positions in field sales, design engineering and product line management in the U.S. and Japan.Scott has a bachelors of science degree in electrical engineering from the University of Tennessee.

"Whether the battery is new or old, you will know within 1 percent accuracy what the remaining energy is," said Scott Eisenhart, director of battery management at the company. .

"You start off with four hours' run time on your laptop," Eisenhart said."But after a year, it's 1.5 hours, and the system starts shutting down on you.".Part of this change in performance has to do with impedance, which builds as the battery ages."Typically you are looking at 500 to 800 charge cycles as the lifetime of a lithium-ion battery," Eisenhart said.

International experience was always on Scott Eisenhart's screen.Before being promoted to his current position as director of product development for broadband wireless access at Texas Instruments (TI), Eisenhart realized that the company's market was one-third Asian, one-third European and one-third American.He knew that if he wanted to move up, he'd have to move outside the United States in order to get a worldwide understanding of TI's customers.Even before he went overseas, his horizons were broadened by the conference calls and emails that came shooting across his desk from all over the world.

"Say we're engaged with someone in Europe," says Eisenhart."We'll pick up a flex team comprised of perhaps some software engineers, some application people, product designers and marketing people and transplant the whole team to a location near the customer."With the pace of product development at white hot speed, employers find it advantageous to send teams of people zipping around the globe."As soon as the team reaches its goal, we disintegrate the team and send them out on other projects," says Eisenhart.

Eisenhart also urges patience and starting off with two-week and then three-month assignments to learn more about what it's like to work overseas."It's not Kansas," he states."You work hard and all you are likely to see is your hotel and an office."But the opportunities to network and get exposure are worth it, he says.

Participating in a cross-functional team sparked Eisenhart's interest in overseas assignments."We were solving problems and communicating via email and conference calls.That's what put the bug in my mind," he recalls.So he let his manager know what his goals were and he sought out those who had been out of the country to pump them for details.

By compiling and analyzing data about a battery's charging, discharging, age and other electrical properties, for example, the newest control circuits from Texas Instruments can make smarter predictions about how much energy a battery really has left, says Scott Eisenhart, TI's director of battery management.Traditional battery management, he says, often left energy undiscovered and unused.
