What Is High Voltage Battery?

LiHV电池的电压 An L-i-H-V battery is a type of Lithium battery that allows for a higher than normal voltage. The “HV” stands for “high voltage” and it has a higher energy density than standard LiPo batteries. Ordinary LiPo batteries have a nominal voltage of 3.7V and a fully charged voltage of 4.2V. LiFePO4 batteries have a nominal voltage of 3.2V […]

What Is The SEI, And What Effect Does It Have On The Battery?

The SEI (solid electrolyte interphase) is formed on the surface of the anode from the electrochemical reduction of the electrolyte and plays a crucial role in the long-term cyclability of a lithium-based battery. Introduction of SEI During the first charge and discharge of a lithium-ion battery, the electrode material reacts with the electrolyte at the solid-liquid […]

8 Tips For Using NiMH Batteries(Nickel-Metal Hydride)

NiMH is an abbreviation for nickel-metal hydride. Ni-MH batteries are our most common rechargeable batteries in consumer electronics. Due to its superior chemical properties, nickel-metal hydride batteries have replaced nickel-cadmium batteries. Since NiMH does not use cadmium (the use of toxic chemicals in battery use) and also does not have the same memory problems that plague NiCD, […]

Solar Will Be Cheapest Form of Electricity Across US by 2030, Plus Other PV Trends

by Emma Foehringer Merchant February 02, 2021 With President Joe Biden in the White House, ink drying on a spate of new climate-focused executive orders and an extension of the federal Investment Tax Credit on the books, the immediate future looks relatively rosy for solar. The U.S. Energy Information Administration anticipates that renewables will be the fastest-growing […]

5 New Battery Technologies That Will Change the Future

Your phone is about to go dead—again—and you can’t find a place to plug it in. Your laptop is getting hot…is the battery about to catch on fire? How far from home should you drive your electric vehicle? As scenarios like these become increasingly common, it’s clear that we need batteries that store more, last […]
