['Pre-Technology] With the maturity of computer and electronic technology, it has prompted portable electronic devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), MP3 (MPEG Layer3) players, notebook computers (Note Bo ok), and electronic dictionaries. It is developing rapidly and is becoming more and more popular. Because of this, each product manufacturer has invested a considerable amount of effort in product research and development and improvement, and it is expected to launch a specification model that meets market demand in order to compete fiercely and change trends. Achieved a leading edge in the sales market channel. The current market demand trend and the projects in which various manufacturers actively invest in research and development costs are whether it is possible to extend the standby and operating time of the product, and because portable electronic devices launched on the market today must have "action π (Μ〇) bi 1 e) features, in order to have a place in the consumer market, such as the words of action language, mobile video, mobile office, etc., almost have become the terms used by various manufacturers in product marketing packaging, The trend of mobile products with portable products has been favored by consumers. _ At present, portable electronic devices, such as digital cameras, personal digital assistants, handheld TVs, and electronic dictionaries, are generally the largest in the consumer market. In addition to whether the volume can be reduced, another problem is the issue of power consumption. Since it is advertised as mobile, it also means that it is not always possible to transmit mains power through wires to provide power. Therefore, various types of batteries have been used to replace the mains. Pair portable
