Northvolt introduces a validated cell surpassing traditional chemistries in safety, cost, and sustainability. This result, based on Prussian White-based cathode, eliminates lithium, nickel, cobalt, and graphite. The cell has been validated for a best-in-class energy density of over 160 watt-hours per kilogram at the company’s research campus in Sweden. This sodium-ion technology is cost-effective and […]
A Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery, also known as LFP battery, is a type of rechargeable lithium-ion battery that uses Lithium Iron Phosphate as the cathode. It’s a relatively new technology, and has gained recent popularity due to its energy density, cycle life, and safety. Compared to other lithium-ion batteries, LiFePO4 batteries have lower energy […]
We added this as a separate post because a few people asked about this after we posted about the ‘Can I power a 12V fridge off a leisure battery?‘ article we wrote. So, how long does a leisure battery last? It is most simply explained with the following formulas: First, find the Total Energy(Wh) of […]
Here, we’ll uncover the pros and cons of Lead Acid and AGM batteries. Introduction Lead Acid and AGM batteries are commonly used in cars, industrial settings and recreation activities. Although they have the same purpose, storing energy and providing power, they have different chemistries. We will go over the lead-acid battery and how it compares […]
Intro Anode and cathode are two electrode types used in electric circuits, and in processes such as electrolysis. An anode is where electrical current enters, and a cathode is where it exits. Current flow rate, or amperage, depends on voltage and resistance across a circuit. An anode attracts positively charged particles and repels negative. A […]
Introduction Energy density is a key concept in science and engineering. It helps us measure the amount of energy stored in power sources, like electric batteries. It’s a ratio of energy to total weight. Specific energy measures the amount of energy released per unit weight. It helps us compare devices or materials. For example, electric […]
Introduction to Li Polymer and Li Ion A Li-Poly battery, or PLI battery, is a type of rechargeable battery with an organic polymer electrolyte instead of a liquid one. This tech can increase energy density, improving the range of electric vehicles and other rechargeable batteries. Li-Ion batteries also have high energy densities, but are more […]
Confused about Lithium Cobalt or Lithium Ion? We’ll guide you through the power and capacity of each battery type. Introduction Lithium cobalt and lithium ion batteries are two types of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. They’re found in many consumer electronics. Each has unique characteristics. Lithium cobalt batteries have an excellent energy density, long cycle life, and […]
This article looks into batteries in parallel and series, and how it affects energy storage. We’ll look at why one setup may be better for you than the other. Get ready for an application-based approach! Introduction to Batteries Grasping the distinction between batteries in parallel and series connection is vital for utilising batteries in any […]
Introduction Lithium-ion and Lithium-Polymer cells are both rechargeable batteries used in portable electronic devices. From laptops to cellphones, either type might be used. To understand the differences between the two, it is important to know what a cell consists of. A lithium rechargeable cell has four components: Cathode – stores energy from outside sources, like […]
