Faradion and Phillips 66 to develop lower cost and higher-performing sodium-ion battery materials

Green Car Congress

Sodium-ion battery technology has an inherent advantage over other power-storage technologies because it uses low-cost materials that are sustainable and widely available. Current cell designs can provide gravimetric and volumetric energy densities comparable to lithium-ion and greatly in excess of lead-acid batteries.

University of Glamorgan and Atraverda to Partner on Bi-Polar Lead-Acid Batteries; Potential Application in Hybrid and Electric Vehicles

Green Car Congress

The University of Glamorgan (Wales) and Atraverda, an advanced material company that owns the intellectual property rights to a conductive ceramic known as Ebonex, are collaborating to produce a commercially viable bi-polar lead-acid battery. Bi-polar lead-acid batteries approach the storage densities of NiMH, but at lower cost.

Corvus Energy’s marine lithium polymer battery pack used in Europe’s first hybrid tugboat

Green Car Congress

Corvus’ lithium polymer batteries last up to 10 times longer and have up to 10 times more power and energy storage than lead acid batteries. In 2011, Foss incorporated Corvus’ lithium polymer batteries into the Campbell Foss, introducing the next generation in energy and power storage solutions into the Tugboat industry.

Continental Voltage Stabilization System with Maxwell Ultracapacitors to power start-stop in Cadillac ATS and CTS as standard

Green Car Congress

This electrostatic energy storage mechanism enables ultracapacitors to charge and discharge in as little as fractions of a second, perform normally over a broad temperature range (-40°C to +65°C), operate reliably through 1 million or more charge/discharge cycles and resist shock and vibration. There is no regen in this basic application.

The difference between lithium iron phosphate and lithium battery

Setec Powerr

It has a high storage energy density, has reached 460-600Wh / kg, and is about 6-7 times the lead-acid batteries. Lightweight, about 1/6-1/5 the weight of lead-acid products in the same volume. Transportation power supply. Power storage power. Mobile communication power.

Study finds hybrid tugboat delivers significant reduction in criteria pollutant emissions compared to conventional version

Green Car Congress

The hybrid tug used in the study, the Carolyn Dorothy ( earlier post ), is powered by two 1,342 kW Cummins QSK50-M main engines and 317 kW Cummins QSM11-M auxiliary generators. It also has 126 soft gel lead acid batteries for power storage that are separated into two arrays with 63 batteries each.
