Lithium-Ion batteries News

The new lithium-ion batteries -big, boxy units with a mass of around 400 pounds (180 kgs) - are so powerful that only half as many are needed The batteries store power gathered by the station's solar panels for use on the nighttime side of Earth The battery replacements began 3 1/2 years ago, with 48 old batteries targeted for replacement

The tech giant used software updates to slow down the performance of some iPhones.

Lithium-ion batteries have become the energy storage method of choice for consumer electronics and military and aerospace systems alike.

Over half a dozen major automobile companies have already approached ISRO for the technology, as they are keen to produce the indigenous Lithium-ion batteries.

In a recent research, scientists have discovered a safe alternative to the flammable liquid electrolytes used in lithium-ion batteries.

The company, in partnership with an "emerging" smartphone manufacturer, is working to bring hydrogen fuel cell technology to mobile devices that could give more life to batteries in a single charge.

The new device's energy density was also found close to that of lithium-ion batteries.

The new silicon battery technology promises a 40 to 60 per cent increase in energy density, which is important for consumers with smartphones, smart homes and smart wearables.

Researchers have developed a new silicon-based anode that could pave the way for lighter and long-lasting lithium-ion batteries which could be used for everything from electronic devices to electric cars.

Lithium-ion batteries, ubiquitous in devices ranging from cell phones to laptop computers and electric cars, may soon have a cheaper and sustainable alternative as researchers have shown that potassium can work with graphite in a potassium-ion battery.
