The PolyPlus lithium-water battery has achieved a world record energy density of 1300 Wh/kg, many times more than the maximum energy density of current lithium-ion batteries.

The SCiBTM is able to use a wider range its charge than a conventional lithium-ion battery, and the SCiBTM also achieves highly efficient.

Lead acid batteries have an energy density of about 40 Wh/Kg and lithium ion batteries can achieve an energy density of up to 200 Wh/Kg.

The batteries, still two to five years from commercial production, could transform the electric car industry, which is hampered by limited mileage ranges and lengthy charging times.

Lithium ion batteries have become the preferred battery chemistry for consumer electronics and plug-in electric vehicles because lithium is the lightest metal and produces ample power for electric car applications.

“We have found a way to extend a new lithium-ion battery’s charge life by 10 times,” Harold Kung, a professor of chemical and biological engineering and a lead author of the paper, said in a statement.

Lithium-ion batteries charge through a chemical reaction in which lithium ions are sent between two ends of the battery, the anode and the cathode.

The next generation of hybrid and electric vehicles are being designed to use high-capacity Lithium-ion batteries.

Federal safety regulators said Friday that they were examining lithium-ion batteries used in electric cars because a Chevrolet Volt ignited three weeks after it underwent a crash test.

Winston Chung, the founder, chairman and CEO of Winston Global Energy in China, donated a 1.1-megawatt bank of rare earth lithium-ion batteries that were developed by his company and are valued at $2.5 million.

A fire involving a General Motors Co Chevy Volt has prompted a US government safety investigation of batteries used to power electric vehicles.

Lithium-ion based batteries have found widespread popularity in all kinds of consumer electronics because of their high energy to weight ratios, lack of memory effect , and low discharge when not in use.

A123 Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:AONE) is a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced lithium-ion batteries and energy storage systems for electric vehicles, electric grid and commercial applications.

The Spacebus batteries also assume an important role before the satellite enters orbit, as they have to provide a high level of performance even after 5 years of ground storage.

WinterGreen Research announces that it has a new study on Lithium-Ion Battery, Lithium Polymer Battery, Thin Film Battery And Zinc Air Battery Market Shares and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2011-2017.

HLI-XT875SL is a Lithium-ion based battery. Lithium-ion based batteries have found widespread popularity in all kinds of consumer electronics.

Headquartered in Reno, Nevada with engineering and manufacturing operations in Anderson, Indiana, Altairnano is a leading provider of energy storage systems for clean, efficient power and energy management.

The next generation of hybrid and electric vehicles are being designed to use high-capacity Lithium-ion batteries as environmentally-friendly fuel alternatives.

Significant opportunity also exists for commercial buildings to utilize flow batteries and lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries for energy storage.

Fisker?s loan has two parts. In the first part, Fisker used $169 million to support the engineers who developed the tools, equipment and manufacturing processes for Fisker?s first vehicle, the Fisker Karma.
