Growing Popularity Of Lithium-Ion Battery Packs

Published by BSLBATTOct 25,2018

Why are Lithium-Ion battery packs popular? Of all the metals, lithium is the lightest. It has the highest electrochemical potential and provides the highest energy density per weight. G.N. Lewis et al pioneered the idea of Li-Ion battery in 1912. However, it was only in the early 1970’s, that the world got its first non-rechargeable lithium batteries for commercial use.   Qualities of Lithium-Ion Batteries Due to the fact that it has the highest energy density, the Li-Ion battery has an edge over the normal nickel cadmium battery. Due to improvements incorporated in the active compounds of the electrode, the Li-Ion battery has an electric power density which is almost three times more than that of the nickel cadmium battery. Besides this, the load capacity of lithium battery is also appreciable. It has a flat discharge curve which gives you the chance to use the saved power in a voltage range of your choice. One of the noteworthy qualities of Lithium-Ion battery pack...

Lithium batteries are advancing rapidly, and they provide longer use times than nickel and lead based batteries. Their use has been adopted as the standard for most of the spy cameras, and other electronics on the market today. Here are six tips to extend the life of your lithium-ion based electronic device. Here are six things you can do to increase the life of your lithium-based battery. 1. Avoid constant full discharges: Lithium batteries prefer a partial discharge, over a full discharge. You should not frequently fully discharge the batteries, rather charge the battery more often, if possible, daily to insure a long life. 2. Recalibrate: We suggest a full discharge every 30 charges for batteries with fuel gauges, like laptops and mobile phones to recalibrate the battery. Just let it run until it stops, then recharge. 3. Laptop computer uses: If you keep the battery in your laptop for everyday use, and power it from the wall socket, unplug the power every few days and let it r...

According to Japanese media reports, on October 4th, local time, the Japanese dragon-class conventional submarine No. 11 “Phoenix Dragon” was launched. The boat used lithium batteries for the first time. It was called “revolutionary breakthrough” by submarine batteries. As we all know, the battery is the main power source of the conventional submarine, and it is also the backup power supply and emergency power supply for the nuclear submarine. Therefore, the performance of the battery directly determines the submarine performance and combat capability. If the battery performance is not good, the power supply is insufficient, the submarine will not run fast, the mobility is greatly limited, the charging time is longer, and the risk of being exposed is greatly increased. For this reason, the development and application of submarine batteries have been highly valued by the world’s submarine manufacturers. The lead-acid battery has mature technology, hi...

Since the conventional electrolyte partially solidifies at temperatures below 0 ° C, the capacity of the lithium ion battery is drastically reduced when it is operated under low temperature conditions, thus limiting its application under extreme conditions. In order to improve the low temperature performance of lithium ion batteries, a lot of research work has focused on improving the conductivity of electrolytes. Figure 1 is a process of synthesizing the additive. Mainly, the ionic liquid molecular chain is grafted onto the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) nanosphere by reaction to form a brush-like main structure, and then the structure is dispersed in ethyl acetate (MA). And a new electrolyte system is formed in a mixed solvent of propylene carbonate (PC). As shown in Fig. 2a, the conductivity of the electrolyte decreases as the temperature decreases, and the conductivity of the electrolyte containing ethyl acetate is much higher than that of the electrolyte using only propylene...

One of the most common complaints about the accelerating push for mass electrification of transport and industry is that there’s no means to handle the tremendous volume of waste batteries that will be generated. But what if there was a technology that could readily recycle all that waste without generating the pollution in the process? What if someone could economically recover not only the high-value metals like nickel and cobalt but the lower-value components too? Did you know that LiFePO4 batteries use no rare earth or toxic metals? They utilize commonly available materials including copper, iron, and graphite. In honor of Earth Day, in this week’s blog, we’re sharing a few reasons why lithium iron phosphate batteries are better for the environment. LiFePO4 batteries have many features that make them superior to other battery technologies. They’re lightweight and versatile. They have a long lifespan and a fast recharge rate. They can withstand cold, heat, collision, and misha...

★ Demand for cobalt is affecting battery markets, but luckily not all lithium-ion batteries require the metal. ★ If you’ve been paying attention to the debate about lithium-ion battery materials, then you will know there is a price problem with lithium, but the real market danger is with cobalt. ★ While experts doubt that cobalt scarcity will halt the growth of the lithium-ion battery business, demand for the metal is affecting battery markets and increasing the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s stranglehold on supplies. ★ To the uninitiated, this might seem like a major threat to the lithium-ion energy storage business. But it’s not, for the simple reason that not all lithium-ion batteries need cobalt. ★ Lithium iron phosphate (LFP), lithium manganese oxide (LMO) and lithium titanate (LTO) batteries are cobalt-free. ★ The catch is that their energy density is lower than that of lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) or lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA) chemistries. ...

Good luck finding that kind of growth anywhere else in the power sector. ★ There’s a broad consensus that the world will deploy more grid storage in the coming years than it does today, but few people agree on exactly how much more. ★ Here’s a new prediction: Global lithium-ion battery deployments over the next five years will grow by 55 percent annually, according to a new report from GTM Research. ★ In other words, annual lithium-ion installations will grow more than eightfold, from 2 gigawatt-hours in 2017 to 18 in 2022. ★ This growth is starting from a tiny baseline — for comparison, electric-vehicle sales produced demand for 112 gigawatt-hours of batteries in 2017 alone. With 55 percent annual growth, though, grid storage will soon be substantial enough to alter the performance of electrical systems around the world. ★ The U.S. will continue to lead the pack in deployments, followed by China, Japan and Australia. The investments that states are putting in now with...
