Toshiba Corporation has developed a new lithium-ion battery using a cobalt-free 5V-class high-potential cathode material that significantly suppresses performance-degrading gases produced as side reactions. This battery can operate in a wide range of applications, from power tools to electric vehicles. Cobalt and nickel are widely used to stabilize the cathodes of lithium-ion batteries. However, cobalt…

DESTEN Inc. announced the launch of the latest cell technology advancement, an Ultra-Fast Charging, 6C LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) cell. The latest pouch form-factor cell from DESTEN is capable of charging from 20% to 80% SOC in 6 minutes. Owing to its LFP-based chemistry, this cell features an impressive chemical and temperature stability profile, making…

When designing a battery into an EV, you must perform rigorous testing to understand a battery’s performance. Electric vehicles (EVs) accounted for 13% of global vehicle sales in 2022 and are forecasted to reach 30% of global vehicle sales by 2030. The industry needs to continue working on making EVs affordable to support this transition…

XING Mobility has announced the official release of its IMMERSIOTM Cell-to-Pack (CTP) product at the IAA Mobility show in Munich, Germany. This innovative battery pack, which features high energy density and exceptional heat dissipation and safety features, will be presented for the first time to the global audience at the event. XING’s IMMERSIO CTP Solution…

In a video, EE World spoke with a power-supply applications engineer about why RV batteries use such high voltages and how to test them. Batteries are perhaps the most expensive component of an electric vehicle. Typically producing 800 V to 900 V, batteries deliver the power needed move the vehicle. Of course, EV batteries need…

Li-ion batteries can store large amounts of energy, and they can support high rates of power delivery. They are the preferred energy storage technology for EVs and large battery energy storage systems (BESS). But if not properly managed, they can also present safety hazards. That makes functional safety a critical consideration when designing large Li-ion…

In this article, we will learn how to choose a battery according to the specifications and requirements of your application. Some applications need more power, and some need to be cheap with less power. There are various factors and parameters that to consider when choosing the best battery for your application. No one battery is…

A single cell is not sufficient for some devices. To achieve the desired voltage, the cells are connected in series to add to the voltage of the cells. The cells are connected in parallel to reach the desired capacity by adding ampere-hour (Ah) to reach the desired capacity. This combination of cells is called a…

Battery production for tomorrow’s mobility requires special environmental conditions, which are achieved through the combination of dry rooms and cleanrooms. The Fraunhofer IPA has developed a new type of certificate for precisely these requirements. The E6.29 energy chain from igus is the very first cable guide system that has been tested under dry cleanroom conditions…

By JD DiGiacomandrea, Green Cubes Technology Learn why Lithium-ion-phosphate batteries need the right battery-management system to maximize their useful life. It’s all about chemistry. Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries provide high energy density, low weight, and long run times. Today, they’re in portable designs. Their popularity has spawned a few sub-chemistries that all use the principle of…
