How Do You Wire Two 12 Volt Batteries Together

In many applications—from recreational vehicles to solar power systems—it’s often necessary to increase electrical capacity or voltage beyond what a single 12-volt battery can provide. Wiring two 12-volt batteries together is a practical solution, whether you’re aiming to double the battery capacity while maintaining the same voltage (parallel connection) or increase the voltage to 24 […]

How to properly maintain UPS lithium battery during use?

If the UPS lithium-ion battery is not used and maintained in the correct way, the life of the battery will be shortened. Therefore, on the basis of selecting a regular standard battery, the battery must be properly protected and used. To ensure the normal operation of UPS lithium-ion battery. We recommended to maintain the lithium […]

Scrapping the waste export levy could threaten Australia’s emerging lithium battery recycling industry

As electric vehicle (EV) demand accelerates, so does the need for lithium batteries. But these batteries contain valuable critical minerals, as well as toxic materials, so they should not be treated as common waste. Unlike China and some European countries, Australia lacks a dedicated lithium battery recycling facility. Just 10% of Australia’s lithium battery waste was “recycled” in 2021. […]

Which is safer, lithium batteries(Li-ion) or nickel metal hydride(Ni-MH) batteries?

Compared with lithium batteries(Li-ion), nickel-metal hydride batteries(Ni-MH) are superior in terms of safety. Mainly because the specific heat capacity and energy density of nickel-metal hydride batteries(Ni-MH)are relatively low, but the melting point is as high as 400°C. When the nickel metal hydride battery is subjected to collision, extrusion, puncture, short circuit, etc., the temperature of the […]

Scientists determine disorder improves lithium-ion battery life

What determines the cycle life of batteries? And, more importantly, how can we extend it? An international research team led by TU Delft has discovered that local disorder in the oxide cathode material increases the number of times  lithium ion battery can be charged and discharged. Their results have been published in Nature. Rechargeable batteries are a […]
