Ensuring safe and reliable lithium-ion battery performance

Charged

The demand for electric vehicles continues to increase, with EV sales growing faster than any other major category of automobile. Also, poor thermal management reduces the electronic components’ efficiency because excessive heat increases electrical resistance and lowers the power and energy of the EV. What is Battery Safety?

Liquid air: A cool option for energy storage?

Envirotec Magazine

Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) uses electricity to cool air until it liquefies, so it can be stored until an opportune moment arrives when it can be brought back to a gaseous state and used for power generation. Like other energy storage solutions, the idea of liquid air energy storage is to balance out electricity supply and demand.

Advisory group reminds Scots to recycle old batteries

Envirotec Magazine

Shops that sell large volumes of batteries have to provide a battery recycling collection. A survey ¹ carried out on behalf of Zero Waste Scotland has revealed that 25% of people who responded admitted they disposed of batteries in the general household bin. So next time you’re in the supermarket look out for a collection point.
