Lithium-Titanate is the big story in big batteries. China has a rechargeable electric ship, spoilt by carrying something completely unecological.
RobH. Ps: L-T batteries are, or are round here, the size of a trailer mounted shipping container, and used in local power sub-bstations to kick in to cover power spikes, yet charge off the grid in between. i.e: about 30ft long by 9ft sq on the ends and run in kv with out put quoted in the low Mw(megawatts) range. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Gallik" <wfgal...@icloud.com> To: "viPhone E-Mail List" <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Saturday, January 13, 2018 2:01 AM Subject: New Battery Technology - Was: Harming battery if left on a charger all the time Last winter I read an article in Science News concerning the soon-to-be-on-the-market new battery technologies. If memory serves me, one of these technologies is a Sodium-Ion battery. There was a second very promising technology also being touted; this one was some sort of Lithium-Something-or-other technology. Hmmm, maybe it was Lithium-Sodium but I don’t remember - suppose I should go do some googling before posting such an e-mail. But, the gist of that article is that are new battery technologies coming down the pike that will offer significantly more charge retention and recharge cycles than even the current Lithium-Ion technology. The rub, these technologies needed to pass the safety thresh-hold where they do not blow up or break into fire. After reading that article, I marveled that even our familiar Lithium-Ion batteries are not more volatile; but that technology has passed the fore-mentioned safety test for the most part. The batteries that were breaking into flame were indeed faulty construction not maintaining appropriate isolation between the Lithium and Ion components. I just this might be of interest considering the thread from whence this appeared. **************** - Bill from Ino, Wisconsin - “The Early Bird may get the worm, but the Second Mouse gets the Cheese!” - Contributor Unknown -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
