Abstract
A system for charging a battery (100) includes a power supply (200) and a vibrating mechanism (210). The power supply provides current to the battery in order to charge the battery while the vibrating mechanism simultaneously vibrates the battery to increase the deliverable capacity of the battery. A system for discharging a battery includes an electrical load (300) and a vibrating mechanism (210). The load is electrically connected to the battery and the vibrating mechanism vibrates the battery while the battery is being discharged.
