Do lifepo4 batteries need to be vented

Do LiFePO4 Batteries Need to Be Vented? Understanding the Requirements and Benefits In the world of advanced battery technology, LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries stand out due to their reliability, safety, and efficiency. A common question among users and installers is whether these batteries need to be vented like traditional lead-acid batteries. This article provides […]

Current development status of sodium batteries

Three years ago, sodium ion batteries emerged as a replacement to solve the problem of soaring raw material prices and production shortages for lithium batteries. And then gradually disappeared. In 2022, against the background of soaring prices of lithium battery raw materials, the concept of sodium-ion batteries suddenly exploded. Major battery manufacturers have successively launched […]

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 […]

What’s the difference between Li-PO battery and metal casing lithium-ion battery?

The difference between Li-PO battery and metal casing lithium battery mainly refers to the material of the shell. Polymer batteries are just liquid lithium-ion batteries with a polymer shell. Structurally, it is packaged with aluminum-plastic film. If a safety hazard occurs, the aluminum-plastic film of the battery will only inflate and crack at most. The metal casing lithium-ion battery is made […]

Cost-effective, high-capacity and cyclable lithium-ion battery cathodes

Charge-recharge cycling of lithium-super-rich iron oxide, a cost-effective and high-capacity cathode for new-generation lithium-ion batteries, can be greatly improved by doping with readily available mineral elements. The energy capacity and charge-recharge cycling (cyclability) of lithium-iron-oxide, a cost-effective cathode material for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, is improved by adding small amounts of abundant elements. The development, achieved by […]

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 […]

Researchers develop sodium battery capable of rapid charging in just a few seconds

Sodium (Na), which is over 500 times more abundant than lithium (Li), has recently garnered significant attention for its potential in sodium-ion battery technologies. However, existing sodium battery face fundamental limitations, including lower power output, constrained storage properties, and longer charging times, necessitating the development of next-generation energy storage materials. A research team led by Professor […]

How do I choose an RV battery?

Recreational Vehicle (RV) batteries/ lifepo4 battery are one of the most important things you take with you on the road when you travel. After all, they’re largely the reason that you get from Point A to Point B. Some essential benefits deep cycle lithium batteries have over lead-acid for your RV include: Less than half the […]

Discovery brings all-solid-state sodium batteries closer to practical use

The pursuit of greener energy also requires efficient rechargeable batteries to store that energy. While lithium-ion batteries are currently the most widely used, all-solid-state sodium batteries are attracting attention as sodium is far more plentiful than lithium. This should make  sodium battery less expensive, and solid-state batteries are thought to be safer, but processing issues […]
