New Lithium-sulfur Batteries From The Folks At Stanford
March 14, 2010
All the coolest gadgets in the market probably have a common problem – battery life. With plenty of external batteries being created to sustain your iPhone when used in an extended trip, it’s obvious that battery technology is lagging behind. whether the new lithium-sulfur technology developed by the folks at Stanford becomes mature, we might just have a solution to our battery woes. that new technology is apparently safer, and more importantly (actually safety is probably more important); it currently achieves 80 percent more capacity than lithium-ion batteries. The downside is that it’s still far from becoming a mass market product, as the charge cycles of just 40-50 times compared to the 300-500 times of lithium-ion batteries aren’t anything to shout about. Hopefully they manage to tweak it and we’ll see a significant boost in battery life in all our devices sooner rather than later.

New Battery Technology To Improve Lithium-ion Battery Life
February 4, 2010
Are you, like most of us, dissatisfied with the current battery technology? After all, nobody likes their gadgets/computer running out of juice. A Japanese company, Eamex, claims that it has found a way to sort out the current issues we’re having with lithium-ion batteries. With its new technology, the batteries will be able to be charged and discharged by 10,000 times, and the best part is that they can last a good 20 years.

Sanyo Solar Electric Vehicle
December 8, 2009
Sanyo let out word that they will parade their Solar Electric Vehicle (EV) at the upcoming Eco Products 2009 worldly Exhibition in Tokyo, where that solar EV will be powered not by Eneloops, but Sanyo's very own Solar Panels and Lithium Ion batteries. The truck (sorry, no fancy sports car here) is able to run up to a purported 130km after 16 hours of direct solar charging, while those who decide to take the more conventional approach of going through AC ability will require half the amount of date. Too poor that ain't a looker, otherwise a green playboy might just want to check it out.

Sanyo Solar Parking Lot
November 30, 2009
Sanyo will be rolling out a Solar Parking Lot in Setagaya, Tokyo next spring. that different parking lot will obtain electricity thanks to the number of solar panels installed on top of the roof, where all the ability will be stored in lithium ion batteries that will in turn be used to juice up electric hybrid bicycles as well as illuminate the LED parking lot lights. Apart from that, the lithium ion battery system additionally comes with AC ability outlets that enables one to potential external equipment when plugged in.
