As people of the growing interest in electric vehicles, UL framework introduced in this latest research will help to reduce the people to use the electric car and electric potential fire risk, and strengthen the overall security of electric vehicle batteries. Prior to the official as a standard, this outline will receive a global standards technical committee (STP) for a comprehensive review. STP by the representatives of consumers, government agencies, regulators, and other manufacturers with expertise relevant bodies Zucheng, its purpose Zaiyugongtong formulated and effective for Chan Pin Anquanbiaozhun Gengxin.

As traditional energy prices and concerns about the environment, can be expected, the use of electric vehicles in the coming years there will be significant growth. Recognized around the globe several billions of dollars invested to create and promote this technology, including the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act clearly the nearly one billion U.S. dollars, and as key components of large-scale electric vehicle batteries in the U.S. market will accomplish much. International consulting firm Ove consultation is expected in the next decade, the number of new road in hybrid electric vehicles and battery electric vehicles will reach 1 million to 5 million, but at the same time, along with the high growth rate from the potential of fire, electric shock and other safety issues.

“Many factors will determine the market on the electric car usage, such as a large batteries for cost, performance, sustainability and safety requirements.” UL Quanqiu Energy general manager JeffSmidt President said, “UL, we always put safety the first place. have been developed through a series of safety standards and the latest standards for battery safety, we can help manufacturers to market electric car more secure. ”

ULSubject2580 is not mandatory, manufacturers are free to choose whether to meet all the requirements of this framework in order to reduce security risks. At present, no such large-scale test vehicle battery battery UL standards.

Often see this argument, because the number of charging and discharging is limited, so it should be possible to run out of phone battery power recharging. But I found one on lithium-ion battery charge and discharge cycle test table, on the cycle life data is as follows:
Cycle life (10% DOD):> 1000 times
Cycle life (100% DOD):> 200 times

Which is the depth of discharge DOD abbreviation. Can be seen from the table, number of charge cycles and the depth of discharge, 10% DOD cycle life than when the 100% DOD for much longer. Of course, if the actual charge equivalent to the relative total capacity: 10% * 1000 = 100,100% * 200 = 200, the latter fully charge and discharge, or better than some, but the previous users of that argument do some amendments: Under normal case, you should have reservation in accordance with the remaining battery power runs out and the principle of full charge, but if your battery is expected in the first two days you can not adhere to the time of the day, you should start charging a timely manner, of course, if you are willing to back the charger to the office has a different matter.

Zheng Yonggang disclosed yesterday that he was at the helm of the Shanshan Group, the clothing section at the beginning of last year with Japan’s Itochu to achieve marriage, ITOCHU introduced the world’s top 500 enterprises of this management experience. Next, the Shanshan Group, lithium battery materials section, but also the “copy” of this practice, and the industry-leading Japanese companies in technology cooperation.

Zheng Yonggang, said Shanshan Li-ion battery industry 10 years ago, when entered, and the United States, Germany, Japan counterparts basically the same starting line, now Shanshan Li-ion battery materials, manufacturing scale has become the largest, but technically much behind the world advanced level. This disparity is that Firs time in the past 10 years, focusing only on the scale of the expansion, but no more in-depth technical research and development continues, the Japanese technology giant cathode materials for lithium batteries Toda in technology is to “develop a generation reserve generation, application generation “strategy. Toda has now become the field of cathode materials for lithium batteries the most technologically advanced enterprises, and new energy into the symbol of a symbol of revolution in the field – the field of automotive battery. Faced with this gap, the bridging Shanshan in Itochu, the Japanese company’s technical cooperation Toda, the two sides will set up a joint venture for production. “We will combine the size of Shanshan, Toda’s technology, ‘the largest and technologically advanced’ goals, thus low-end products from the areas of mobile phone batteries, car batteries to the transformation and upgrading.” Anode material for lithium batteries at the same time Shanshan is also seeking cooperation with a Japanese giant to solve technical bottlenecks, Shanshan Li-ion battery industry chain will be the most extensive coverage, most technologically leading and largest companies.

GM Chevrolet Volt will be the first  enter the U.S. market, large market plug-in hybrid. The car’s lithium group life capacity of up to 40 miles, 120-volt power VGP-BPL2，VGP-BPL2Csupply under the one-time charge time is 8 to 10 hours, 240 V power supply state in the charge time can be reduced to 4 hours.

GM global electronic system Micky Bly,the managing director, said in a statement: “Consumers will have much more confidence in Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid by the warranty program”

Nickel-zinc battery is one of the ten top world’s VGP-BPS2，VGP-BPS2A high-tech in twenty-first century. They are widely used in mobile communications, power tools, electric toys and electric cars and other fields and they are in rapid development in the sunrise industry.

Nickel-zinc battery and the current alkaline battery in the market have good compatibility,their voltage can up to 1.6V and this is higher than an alkaline battery nickel-cadmium batteries 1.5V and 1.2V. They  use inexpensive zinc anode and achieve cost reduction. So we should replace the nickel-cadmium batteries. The battery trends and feasibility should be the application of nickel-zinc battery. Sony VGP-BPS2B，Sony VGP-BPS2CAnd the nickel-zinc battery should be more easily recycled materials than disposable alkaline batteries (such as zinc-manganese batteries). Compared with nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel-zinc battery’s power is big and  price is cheap. This are the main advantages of nickel-zinc battery.

The lithium-ion batteries with a working voltage due to the high energy density (light weight), self-discharge rate at the end, no memory effect, long cycle life, and pollution-free, etc., since the market has been developing rapidly, has been gradually to replace the nickel-hydrogen batteries and in notebook computers, mobile phones, video cameras and other mobile electronic devices dominated the field, according to Yano Research Institute survey, the world’s mobile phones, notebook computers, digital cameras use lithium-ion batteries account for the total of 49 lithium-ion batteries %, 36% and 4%.

For the lithium-ion battery market prospects for the development, comprehensive Yano Economic Research Institute, the United States Frost & Sullivan, IIT, Samsung SDI, etc., after the company’s view that: 1) the future increase in demand for portable devices, as well as can be multi-task processing in recent years, the average consumer to use ” small parts, “the expansion of markets will promote the growth of lithium-ion battery market, it is expected that future, as Brazil, Russia, India, China and other emerging markets, mobile phones and notebook computers more widespread, portable product growth will slow; 2) Electric Hardware | Tools Tools, other consumer electronics products, light electric vehicles and electric vehicles and other new applications are for the lithium-ion battery into the high growth momentum for the industry and the car’s lithium-ion battery market will continue growth in the next 5-7 years, .

In general, lithium-ion batteries in 2008 or even 2009 will maintain double-digit growth overall, the growth rate from 2010 to less than 10%, as of 2016 lithium-ion battery market is expected to challenge 10 billion output value U.S. dollars, lithium-ion batteries are also broad prospects for development to the lithium-ion battery electrolyte industry enormous room for imagination.

For Nokia, Sony and other companies recalled mobile phones, laptop battery events, industry experts believe that the current lithium-ion batteries are still the best and most secure choice, although many enterprises in the development of fuel cells to replace lithium-ion batteries, but portable fuel cell has not yet reached commercial standards, and are not 100% safe. The analyst GeoffBlaber that in the next 1-2 years time, this situation will not have much improved, and even meet the standard of its business in the popularity of mobile phones and other products will also take some time, so no need to worry about the other batteries in recent years products on the lithium-ion battery replacement.

Meanwhile, the lithium-ion battery production mainly concentrated in the (mainland), Japan, South Korea, in 2006 the proportion of its total global sales were 21%, 58.1% and 16.8%, the future, as South Korean electronics brand, strong development of and China’s continued strong growth in domestic market, Japanese manufacturers accounted for the proportion of sales of lithium battery will fall gradually. As the lithium-ion battery production in the world within the highly concentrated industry believes that the domestic lithium-ion battery electrolyte industry’s future development should look at the global lithium-ion battery market.

The lithium-ion rechargeable battery cathode layer, electrolyte layer and cathode layer of all the technical production by volume of the volume. Is not used between layers of membrane. Using LiFePO4 as cathode and carbon compounds such as electrolytes used by the cross-linked polyethylene oxide polymer material composition of the film, the negative electrode uses Li4Ti5O12 with graphite and silicon compounds. The polymer electrolyte material is in solid form rather than the gel (Gel), as did not use a flammable organic electrolytes, security is high.

The cell size is A6 size, thickness of 450μm. The initial capacity of 45mAh, the capacity of 1 / 2 to discharge when the voltage is 1.8V. Discharge frequency can be within 0.02C ~ 1.0C to make changes.

The original all-solid lithium-polymer rechargeable batteries there’s topic is at room temperature under low temperature environment can not be driven, the battery can be 0 ~ +25 ℃ temperature use. Charge-discharge cycle over 100 times, is currently being implemented evaluation experiments.

New battery development center Mie University, Mie Prefecture Industrial Research Institute, Suzuka Industrial College, Jinsheng Industrial (Kinseimatec), KUREHA ELASTOMER, Shin-Kobe Electric, Toppan Printing and Ming-Cheng chemical industries involved in the battery development.

China Sunergy’s balance sheet is very strong and fully capable of funding for the acquisition of a total need for funding of about 47 million U.S. dollars, this cost is in the form of installments paid to the CLP PV Electric Power Group and Sundex holding company after the acquisition the battery company’s board of directors into three vetted and approved unanimously.

China Light and Power Electric (Shanghai) Solar Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and China Light and Power Electric Co., Ltd., Nanjing New Energy R & D set of components, production, sales and service as a whole, the annual production capacity of 150 MW, respectively, and 70 MW, respectively, the year is expected to up to 300 MW and 170 MW, the two companies controlled by the Electric Power Group Corporation, China Light and Power Electric Group chairman and sole control by the Ting-Xiu. The two companies in the United States, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic, and Southeast Asia have a strong distribution network.

The imediaEngine is a relatively bulky mobile computer, weighing between 10 and 12 pounds, but it packs powerful, workstation-class features including a 604e PowerPC processor running at 240 MHz, a 14-inch LCD active-matrix LCD screen, a 10X CD-ROM drive, and hard disk drive capacity of up to 6GB.

The newest Apple 3400 notebook, by comparison, uses a less powerful 603e processor and uses LCD screens no larger than 12.1 inches diagonally.

Though there have been Mac mobile computer clone vendors in the past, such as Outbound, this is the first fully licensed mobile Mac clone, according to Paul Gossen, head of Vertegri Research.

Outbound did not have a license and therefore could not produce an authorized mobile clone. The company’s line of computers were eventually discontinued.

According to Gossen, the 200-MHz version, the imedia V3, will ship in April, while the V7 model with a 240-MHz processor will ship in May.

Currently, the company is planning to ship the units with version 7.5.3 of the Mac OS preloaded on the system. Vertegri will not ship the system with version 7.6 of the OS since the battery company has not verified that this version is completely compatible with the Motorola Tanzania motherboard the company is using in the system.

The V3 model with a 200-MHz 604e processor, a 12.1-inch active-matrix LCD screen, a 10X CD-ROM drive, 16MB of memory, 4 speakers, and a 1.3GB hard disk drive will be priced at $4,987.

The V7 model with a 240-MHz 604e processor, a 14-inch active-matrix screen, 10X CD-ROM drive, 64MB of memory, a network card, and a 2.1GB hard disk drive will sell for $7,894.

One shortcoming is the lack of battery support. The imediaEngine does not work with a battery as most mobile computers do.
