With the rapid development of electric vehicle industry in China, Shenzhen is the first city in China to realize fully electric bus service. Recently, according to the information from MIIT in China, the first batches of batteries from electric buses are hitting retirement age. The recycling and disposal of the first batch of retired batteries which have been used for more than 200 new energy electric buses has started. Over 700 tons of retired battery has been put into recycling.

A lot of experts believe that freezing a lithium battery will increase the chance of extending its service life. So, here we are going to take a look at that theory and try to dig deeper and learn more about the effects it has on a battery. If you are a gadget geek looking to extend battery life, I am inviting you to stay with us to discover the truth behind this idea.

Utilizing solar or wind seems more feasible. However, as you never know what happen next, the sun doesn’t always shine and the wind doesn’t always blow, but the demand for electrical power certainly remains. Figuring out a viable way to store enough energy is necessary for using solar or wind. Lead acid battery are used before, but a new trend in using lithium-ion battery is coming. Which is better?

Japan has introduced lithium-ion batteries into its submarines. On 5th March, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force commissioned its first Soryu-class diesel-electric submarine running on lithium-ion batteries. This diesel-electric submarine which named Oryu use lithium-ion batteries in place of the Stirling-cycle engines and traditional lead-acid batteries for submerged operations.

Actually, lithium iron phosphate has a high thermal stability and the operating temperature range of lithium iron phosphate battery is wide from -20°C- +60°C. Therefore, LiFePO4 battery has a slight edge over other lithium-ion batteries on safe performance because they are able to withstand the high temperature environment as well as unlikely to catch fire even if mishandling.

Scientists from Stanford University have invented a “fireproof” solid-state electrolyte. The team create a novel "fireproof" solid-state electrolyte(SSE) for use in lithium-ion batteries.They used a flame-retardant material called decabromodiphenyl ethane, or DBDPE for short. To make their new solid-state electrolyte, the team first created a thin film by combining DBDPE with polyimide, a mechanical enforcer.

It is forecasted that the Asia-pacific (APAC) electric three-wheeler market is going to reach $11,935.1 million by 2023. In order to response to the market demand of electric three-wheeler in APAC region, UFO POWER develop new series of lithium motive power battery to meet the requirement of electric three-wheeler. The line-up includes four models that can meet different motor power, as well as easy to operate.

On March 4, China mobile, one of the biggest company in telecommunication, has released their 2020 procurement plan of lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO4) as telecom power backup power with 610.2 million Ah. The potential signal of the return of LiFePO4 Battery in the market shows that safety is prime precedence for battery. In fact, this expectation of battery is the same applies to telecommunication base station.

Recently, LiFePO4 (LFP) battery is drawing atterntion again. In 2019, the data from Adamas Intelligence’s report notes that the market share of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode chemistry fell to 6% in batteries installed in global newly-sold electric vehicles. But now, we can see a potential back into the market’s sight of lithium iron phosphate battery in 2020.

It is reported that a new glass battery is moving to the commercialization stage of development with Canadian electric utility Hydro-Quebec. As more and more people are counting on the solar for power supply, LiFePO4 batteries have been used as their reliable option than traditional battery like lead-acid battery for energy storage system.

A single lithium-ion cell is hard to supply power for applications which require high capacity, sufficient voltage and current. Lithium battery pack refers to the assembly of several battery modules which consist of lithium cells into a specific form according to customer requirement. When it comes to some specific application, such as energy storage. Here is where lithium battery pack comes into play.

When it comes to high power applications, a single lithium-ion cell is hard to supply power for these application because of the insufficient voltage and capacity. In order to meet this requirement, combining lithium-ion cells in series or in parallel is necessary so as to elevate the voltage and capacity for delivering sufficient power. So, what do you need when building lithium-ion battery? Here are some notes for you.

Li-ion batteries are rechargeable batteries that use lithium ions which move from a negative electrode to a positive electrode to create power. Nowadays, li-ion batteries are prevalent in everyday use which range from consumer electronics to various electric cars and storage system. So, what can UFO Lithium-ion Battery do for you? Can it be applied for various fields? Let’s take a look here.

Have you ever experience sudden power outrage or far away from power grid with no solution to deal with dark? Or have you feel frustrated at paying the expensive energy bills? Or have you ever perceived that the air environment is not longer fresh as several years ago? This year, UFO BATTERY achieved our goal and launched a New Powerwall for Energy Storage to figure out your worry for power supply.

Now, lithium-ion technology are able to extend its potential on consumer electronics, energy storage system and even electrical vehicles. Do you wonder the remarkable history behind the lithium-ion battery? Let’s start from the very beginning.
