US Army Finds New Design For Light Cheap Lithium Battery
October 1, 2019 | Leave a Comment
Researchers at Georgia Tech backed by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory have developed a promising new cathode and electrolyte system that replaces expensive metals and traditional liquid electrolyte with lower cost transition metal fluorides and a solid polymer electrolyte. This opens a potential for less expensive, lighter and safer batteries that are a vital need […]

New Tech To Charge Lithium Batteries 5 Times Faster
February 27, 2018 | Leave a Comment
University of Warwick, WMG, researchers have developed a new direct, precise internal temperature test of lithium-ion batteries. They investigated internal temperatures and the electrodes potentials and found that the batteries can be safely charged up to five times faster than the current recommended charging limits. The new technology works in-situ during a battery’s normal operation […]
