Pin-Type Li-Ion Battery Maintains 80% Capacity after 5000 Cycles
https://www.electronics-lab.com/pin-type-li-ion-battery-maintains-80-capacity-5000-cycles/
The CT04120 from Murata is a small form factor lithium-ion battery that can support 10C Charging rates without the need for a battery controller IC. Continuous discharge at a 10C rate is also supported by these rechargeable batteries. In addition, since the internal resistance is low and the voltage drop is small, stable discharge is […]
J.Flex, A Lithium-Ion Battery That Is Flexible
https://www.electronics-lab.com/j-flex-lithium-ion-battery-flexible/
A Busan-based company has been developing J.Flex, an advanced lithium-ion battery that is ultra-thin, flexible, and rechargeable for the past few years now. The company used terms like bend, roll, twist, scrunch, fold, flex to describe the battery. EJ Shin, head of strategic planning at Jenax says: “What we’re doing at Jenax is putting batteries into […]
Meet the Next-gen Lithium-Sulfur Batteries
https://www.electronics-lab.com/meet-next-gen-lithium-sulfur-batteries/
What would you give for a battery, 5x the storage capacity of whatever you’re reading from? Well, the countdown to commercial availability for batteries of this type of capacity has already begun and it would be considerably cheaper than then currently available batteries. This radical improvement comes from using sulfur cathodes rather than graphite in […]
Battery (Lithium, NiMH, NiCd) Capacity Tester Using Arduino
https://www.electronics-lab.com/battery-lithium-nimh-nicd-capacity-tester-using-arduino/
The increased interest in IoT and electric automobiles around the world is driving an increase in the use of Lithium-Ion/Lithium-Polymer/NiCd/NiMH batteries as more devices and applications are using them, due to their high energy storage capacity to size ratio. This increased interest is, however, causing an increase in the number of batteries with “fake” ampere-hours […]
