Panasonic announced the launch of two new developments in diameter 18650 type (18 mm, 65 mm high) high-capacity lithium-ion batteries, for notebook computers and environmentally battery for laptop friendly energy technologies.The company’s ability to drive 18650 battery, by improving the electrode material, these materials are widely used in mobile computers. The newly developed high-capacity 3.4 and 4.0 A A lithium-ion battery can provide a better nickel-based cathode, and 4.0 Ah battery, rather than the carbon anode.
The two batteries will not only extend the working hours of the notebook computer, and electricity, in a module.Panasonic is currently testing the battery module,from a number of pieces of the construction of 18650 batteries.When using the module, the new battery can also serve as a high-energy,clean energy technologies, including home photovoltaic power generation systems and fuel cell storage systems.
Lithium-ion batteries have become a power, wireless devices, such as notebook computers, indispensable, is ubiquitous social support. As wireless devices become more complex and powerful, they need more powerful batteries.
Meanwhile, the increasingly serious environmental problems require a wide range of renewable energy and power of vehicles actually used in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. In order to achieve high-capacity storage system is essential. As the lithium-ion battery storage system is more compact than traditional storage use rechargeable batteries, other types of systems lighter, high hope on the practical application of lithium-ion storage systems. The range of applications for storage systems is also increasing demand for capacity, productivity, reliability and security, higher, coupled with cost-effective.
Matsushita responded to these challenges, the new battery, using its unique high-capacity nickel cathode technology base and its materials and processing technology, to prevent deformation of the alloy negative electrode, has been repeatedly charged and discharged.
Foundation for the development of nickel cathode makes Panasonic the production of high-capacity, lightweight and durable lithium-ion batteries. By improving the cathode, it has vgp-bps13 , vgp-bps13/s , vgp-bps13a/b vgp-bps13b/b, VGP-BPS10,,reached the 3.4 Ah cells, it provides 20% greater than the current model of the 2.9 ah capacity. 3.4 A cell mass production will be 2012 fiscal year ending in March 2012. Cells, 4.0 ah, this 30% greater capacity than the 2.9 ah batteries, using a new generation of electrode materials, silicon-based negative electrode alloys with carbon. 4.0 A cell will be mass-produced, in 2013 fiscal year ending in March 2013. These high-capacity battery can make high-energy battery module.
In the new battery, Panasonic has 337 patents, including pending applications in Japan, other countries and 136
