Lithium ion battery technology offers many advantages in portable power application but one major concern is safety – thermal runaway of the device in both normal and abusive
situations. In the following article, it will be shown that by means of adiabatic calorimetry, it is not only possible to test single components but also complete lithium ion batteries. Read more about Battery Safety: Thermal Runaway …
AllCell Technologies has released a white paper comparing the economics of lithium-ion and lead acid batteries for stationary energy storage systems (ESS). Even though the initial purchase price of lead acid batteries is one-fifth the price of lithium-ion, when analyzed on a full life-cycle basis lithium-ion batteries are now cost-competitive in moderate climates and lower cost in hot climates.

The battery pack is often the most expensive part of the bill of materials for an electric drive vehicle or industrial machine. The battery pack’s energy consumption, maintenance, and replacement costs are a significant driver of an end user’s total cost of ownership. How do we get the most out of something, the battery pack, that we know will eventually fail? Read more about Achieving ‘Charge Quality’ for Lead Acid Batteries in Industrial Motive Applications …
