Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are inarguably the most popular type of rechargeable battery for consumer electronics. They can be used for a variety of products from mobile phones to cars, and their qualities are superior compared to other rechargeable batteries. At NightSearcher we use high-quality lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries for all but a few of our rechargeable […]
There are three main packaging forms of lithium batteries: they are cylindrical, prismatic and pouch cell packages. Each packaging has its own advantages and disadvantages, which we will review in today’s article. Cylindrical Lithium Battery There are many types of cylindrical cells, such as 14650, 17490, 18650, 21700, 26500 and so on. Many car models […]
Before we go straight into comparing these protection boards, let me help define these first. Define the PCM, PCB and BMS Generally speaking, battery protection boards can be divided into two types. We usually refer to them as the PCM (Protection circuit module) or otherwise known as the PCB (Protection circuit board), and the BMS (Battery management system). A […]
Lithium batteries are making their way into the Floor Cleaning market and for good reason. If you look at all of the benefits, they are hands-down the best solution to power your floor cleaning machines. Learn why below: LIFE Probably the most well-known and obvious benefit is significantly longer life. Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries […]
The shell materials used in lithium batteries on the market can be roughly divided into three types: steel shell, aluminum shell and pouch cell (i.e. aluminum plastic film, soft pack). We will explore the characteristics, applications and differences between them in this article. Steel–Shell Battery The steel material for this battery is physically stable with its stress […]
The biggest difference between NiMH and LiPo batteries is the chemical properties that enable the charging of the batteries. NiMH (Nickel-metal hybrid) uses nickel-based technology and LiPo (Lithium Polymer) batteries use a lithium-ion technology. What the battery types have in common is that they both store a certain amount of energy depending on their capacity. […]
With the increasing applications of lithium-ion batteries in drones, electric vehicles (EV), and solar energy storage, battery manufacturers are using modern technology and chemical composition to push the limits of battery testing and manufacturing capabilities. Nowadays, every battery, regardless of its size, performance, and life, is determined in the manufacturing process, and the testing equipment is designed […]
EDF’S West Burton B battery storage project in Nottinghamshire, one of Europe’s largest battery storage projects | Credit: EDF The consultancy predicts that US and China will drive global growth in cumulative energy storage capacity, which should top 740GWh by the end of the decade Energy storage is poised for a decade-defining boom, with capacity […]
