    2008-07-22 02:05:13
    After picking up my iPhone 3G the day after Rogers’ craptacular launch, I was quite impressed with the blazing speed of 3G connectivity.

    Canon LPE5 Digital Camera Battery
    2008-07-09 15:30:00
    The Canon LPE5 digital camera battery is the battery you will require if you are the lucky owner of the new Canon EOS 450D or the soon to be available EOS 1000D.Whilst developing these new camera models, Canon recognised photographers require their camera to take 100s more shots before the battery dies. With this in mind the capacity was increased, without increasing the size or weight of the battery too much.This enabled them to keep the size and overall weight of the camera to a minimum.At 1050mAh, the Canon LP-E5 is around twice the capacity of the Canon NB2L battery used in the earlier EOS 350D and EOS 400D.

    Firefly Energy - new battery technology
    2008-07-02 22:17:15
    Found a link over on gas2.0 pointing toward Firefly Energy. They are working toward improved battery technology, taking a different tactic than many seem to be. Instead of new metals (lithium, etc.), they are taking the same old lead based chemistry that we have known for years and reformulating how it is made. They are claiming lighter weight, more efficiency, more power, etc. They are a tractor trailer battery coming to the market later this year, with talks with other industries. They seem aware of the marine world (there are mentions on their site) along with electric vehicles, etc.

    Volkswagen Golf TDI Hybrid Concept expanding battery cooperation with Sanyo
    2008-05-29 08:02:00
    Volkswagen Group CEO Martin Winterkorn has announced that the company will be partnering with Sanyo to further develop lithium ion batteries for automotive applications. Earlier this month, the group's Audi division announced that it would use Sanyo's nickel metal hydride batteries in upcoming Q7 hybrid. This agreement goes beyond that with the focus being on lithium for both hybrid and all electric vehicles. In the past nine months, VW has shown two concepts using lithium ion batteries, the A1 project Quattro and the Golf TDI Hybrid. Volkswagen's target is to get a lithium ion battery hybrid to market by 2010. That time line is also likely to be when the first VW/Audi hybrids start coming to the U.S. market. When I spoke to Audi engineers in Europe last month, they indicated that they didn't plan launch a U.S. market hybrid until they could do a lithium ion battery. Eventually the VW Group plans to introduce full battery electric vehicles, probably powered by Sanyo lithium batteries.V

    Toyota and Matsushita building new battery plants in Japan
    2008-05-28 13:06:00
    If Toyota has any chance of meeting its stated goal of selling a million hybrids per year within the next decade, it's going to need lots and lots of batteries. Along with its partner, Matsushita, Toyota already has plants in operation to build the necessary nickel metal hydride battery packs, and one of those plants will be enlarged in order to meet capacity requirements. Two additional plants will also be built in Japan, one of which will begin production of the newer lithium ion batteries which are likely to be installed in future Lexus hybrids and Prius sedans. Toyota's full investment in these three battery plants is said to be roughly 20 billion yen, which is equal to 192 million dollars.Toyota's dominance in the hybrid vehicle market is going to be challenged as fuel prices continue to rise. Recently, along with its partner NEC, Nissan announced that it was building a new plant to build advanced lithium ion packs for electric vehicles and hybrids. Additionally, General Motors i

    Lutz declares that first Volt mule is running 40 miles on battery power
    2008-05-15 21:14:00
    According to Bob Lutz, the first Chevy Volt powertrain mule has just passed a major milestone. After several weeks of testing in the lab with a battery pack installed, the Malibu based pre-prototype has rolled out into the fresh air. In fact, according to Lutz, the car has even rolled passed past the security gates of the Milford Proving Ground to drive around on public roads. Even in this early, very rough, form, Lutz says the car is meeting and exceeding the goal of 40 miles of driving without running the engine. With this, the E-Flex engineers have demonstrated the performance viability of this concept. However, they still have a long way to go in validating the robustness of the system in different operating environments as well as the long-term durability of the powertrain as a whole. Perhaps the biggest issue to address is the cost of the system, particularly the battery pack. For GM to sell the Volt at an affordable price at launch, they will likely be taking a significant loss

    Laptop Battery Technology
    2008-03-12 16:11:00
    By Sorya Pich It goes without saying that the performance of a laptop depends a lot on its battery. After all, a laptop becomes mobile only when its battery allows for a longer runtime. With all the wide variety of choices in the market, it's always good to be knowledgeable about the many types of batteries that are available so you can make the right choice. The types of laptop batteries vary greatly according to the technology used to create them, the efficiency of their performance, and the hazards that come with their use. There are three popular kinds of laptop batteries that have been used over the years.Nickel cadmiumThe nickel cadmium batteries were used in old laptops. They are actually the first rechargeable batteries ever used in notebooks because for a relatively low cost, one can yield satisfactory output. However, as time went by, the NiCad battery lost its popularity over more environment-friendly types. One of the downsides of using this type is what is known as the mem

    Laptop Battery Repair
    2008-03-07 15:10:00
    By Seth Miller The greatest strength of a laptop is its portability and the fact that it can be used without needing any external power connections for hours at a time. This makes a laptop battery one of the most important parts in a laptop. It is very important, hence to take care of a laptop battery. Like every other part of the laptop, the battery also undergoes wear and tear and might need repairs.It must be remembered that most laptop batteries cannot be repaired if damaged. This is because of their complex construction. And even if it were to be repaired, one would need specific and expensive instruments to do so. It is for this reason that often it is suggested that if a battery is damaged, one should buy a new laptop battery, rather than repairing a damaged one. This is often a better and a cheaper idea.At times when we see the need for a laptop battery repair, it turns out that all it requires is a bit of calibration. This is done in most battery or laptop repair shops locally

    Panasonic to boost hybrid battery production in 2009
    2008-02-25 19:21:11
    Panasonic EV energy is cranking up production of its automotive battery packs. In 2009, the company -- a joint-venture between Toyota and Matsushita (Panasonic's parent company) -- plans to produce 800,000 battery packs for hybrid vehicles. Last year, Toyota sold 429,000 hybrids but has a goal of selling 1 million per year by early in the next decade. Almost all the production will be nickel metal hydride batteries, although toward the end of the year, Panasonic will start producing low volumes of lithium-ion batteries for the PHEV field tests that Toyota plans to launch in 2010. As has been the case, Panasonic EV expects the bulk of next year's production to go to Toyota, although they do supply batteries to other companies. The Chevy Tahoe/GMC Yukon 2-Mode hybrids currently use a Panasonic battery pack. At this year's Detroit Auto Show, Toyota announced plans to introduce two new dedicated hybrid vehicles at the 2009 exhibition. One will be the third-generation Prius while the other

    USB battery-charger designs meet new industry standards
    2008-02-25 03:50:00
    USB is not just for data transfer any more; there are too many good reasons to use it in such applications as charging handheld-device batteries. New standards address such uses, and new connectors and ICs can make short work of your designs.New USB-charging standardsThe new Chinese standard introduces a variety of electrical and mechanical requirements that ensure battery-charging intercompatibility and safety. The standard requires new wall chargers to provide a connector that complies with the USB Type A specification (Figure 1). This mechanical implementation allows connection of mobile phones to any dedicated wall charger or computing USB port for battery charging. The new wall chargers must be able to supply at least 300 mA but not more than 1.8A. This current range addresses both the low-cost and the high-performance product segments. The Chinese-government mandate also refers to a wall-charger-detection scheme, which requires detecting a short circuit between the D+ and D– te

    GM: the battery is not the problem with EVs, it’s everything else!
    2008-02-19 17:27:29
    GM chimed in on the "why is the EV (electric car) so hard to make discussion?" in the Detroit News today. Toyota has said battery production is the biggest hurdle. GM, on the other hand, says that batteries are important but once that's solved (which you could argue happens in the Volt) you still have many significant problems. Frank Weber, GM's guy in charge the electric car program, said, "The battery is important, but all the other components are electrified as well. ... There is not an established supplier community for this. It's a very complicated system with known technological solutions. But they've never been integrated in these forms." GM is not backing off its stated 2010 release date for the Volt but you can add to the list of "what's so hard about making an EV?" the lack of a supplier base to mass-produce the electric car.I think this is great news! Car makers are having significant problems trying to mass produce electric cars. Why is this good? Because it shows they are

    Video: President Bush says continue investing in advanced battery, renewable fuels in his last SOTU

    Last night, in his last State of the Union address, President George Bush said "let us continue investing in advanced battery technology and renewable fuels to power the cars and trucks of the future." You can see for yourself in the video above. We will have more on this later but from what he said and previews in the press, it looks like Bush won't have any major initiatives for cars in '08.This is very different from last year when Bush not only talked up battery-powered cars and renewable fuels in the state of the Union but also hybrids, plug-ins, clean diesel, biodiesel and even CAFE. You can watch that video below the fold. President Bush got most of what he asked for in the energy bill that past late December. Do you think any more laws need to be written?[Source: CSPAN2]
