PbA (Lead Acid) NiMH & NiCd Li-ion & Li-Poly

Gilbert N. Lewis pioneered lithium batteries in 1912, the first non-rechargable cells were created in the early 1970's. Lithium does not suffer from common battery maintainance issues like memory and self discharge, and is environmentally safe. Sony commercialized the first lithium-ion battery in 1991.

    • According to Marc Kohler of Valence, their U1 will do 300A, not only 150A per U-Charge_Datasheet. Their U24 will do 600A instead of 200A, and will do 200A "up a long hill", though these higher rates have not been confirmed. Also per an EVDL thread the 12V modules are U1, 40AH - $650 US ($1.35/WH); U24, 100AH - $1600 US ($1.33/WH); U27, 130AH - $1900 US ($1.22/WH); and $800 for display and charger. image?, Datasheet, New High Rate versions

E-one Moli - Milwaukee 28v

  • EVDL, [14]
    • http://www.molienergy.com - http://www.e-one.com.tw, [15], [16]
    • ... company now produces a total of 1.8 million cells per month for such things as cellphones, lap-top computers and other portable data terminals, and normally does about $100 million in business per year. But Broom forecast that by supplying the power-tool industry E-One could potentially double its total business in three years. Broom said that the deal with Milwaukee means E-One will produce an extra 150,000 battery cells a month at the Maple Ridge plant, which employs 430 people. "We're looking at plans to quadruple production by the end of the year"...
    • Using lithium manganese oxide (LiMN204) in the positive electrode of the new IMR26700 cell allows for a Li-ion cell with higher discharge rates than ever before. The IMR26700 cell can deliver currents in excess of 100A.
      By eliminating cobalt from the IMR26700 cell it is possible to produce a much larger cell, while providing exceptional safety characteristics. Further developments of the IMR26700 cell will provide fast charge capability, allowing cells to be fully charged in as little as 15 minutes.
      The introduction of the IMR26700 will allow Molicel to enter new markets previously only served by lead acid, nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal-hydride batteries, such as electric bicycles, power tools and potentially electric or hybrid-electric vehicles. Manganese oxide lithium-ion batteries are more environmentally friendly than those traditional battery systems.
      To support the launch of the new IMR26700, Molicel has implemented in a new high-speed production line capable of producing 1.5million cells per month. Molicel began shipping the IMR26700 cells in 2004.'
    • Specifications of the IMR26700 Cell
      • Cell Type = IMR26700 Manganese
      • Size = 26.4mm diameter; 70mm length
      • Weight = 100g
      • Capacity = 3Ah
      • Standard Charging Voltage = 4.2V – 2.5V
      • Energy Density = 285Wh/l
      • Power Density = 1500W/kg at 20 seconds
    • 1,500,000 cells/month is 4,500,000Ah * 3.7vpc = 13,500,000 Wh of capacity.
      • 13,500 kWh is enough to deliver 40,500 BEV miles (@3m/kWh) per month in cells.
      • 486 Thousand miles or 162,000kWh per year, of Battery Capacity.
      • It would cost $9,720 to charge that once at $0.06/kWh, just $0.02/mile.
      • That's about 2000 BEV/PHEV's with 250 miles or 10,000 with 50 miles of range.

    • Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTI) and Toshiba have rather promising advanced Li-ion improvements which greatly increase their previously lacking Power Density and Cycle Life. Energy Density, Weight, and even high volume cost of about $500/kWh have been a reality for some time now.
