New Lithium Metal Ion Battery

A battery with three times the energy density of conventional lithium cells? Yes, please! Dr. Won Il Cho, principal researcher at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology, said that his team “managed to develop essential technologies that can improve the performance and the safety of the Lithium Metal Ion batteries which can be potentially applied […]

Charging several battery packs at once

Lithium battery chemistry is volatile. If one battery can catch fire and cause a lot of damage because of improper charging, imagine what several batteries hooked together and charging in close proximity to one another can do if anything goes wrong. Parallel charging might sound like a convenient way to charge multiple batteries at the same time, but it can […]
