Lithium-ion battery storage is one of the most exciting new and innovative energy options changing the energy landscape, but it also poses some unique challenges for fire safety design. Due to the complexity of the fire risk associated with such a battery system, especially in an enclosed environment, the control and mitigation measures should consist of multiple layers.

In the absence of over charge protection of battery, charging batteries in an above wrong way will directly overcharge the batteries. The overcharge will result in damage of the internal cell structure or even cause failure and safety problems of batteries. Take lithium-ion batteries as an example, the maximum charging voltage of li-ion batteries is 4.2V, if the batteries is prolonged or extreme over charging, the batteries may increasing heat up and has the potential to cause an explosion finally.

If you are keen on camping, van-life or just enjoy outdoor recreation, power supply certainly has already drawn your attention. Providing electricity to your gadgets and appliances is an issue that you may encounter during your outdoor activity. UFO BATTERY would like to give you an ideal answer in this particular field and today we launch a new product -- UFO POWER 500 lithium portable power station.

Consumers are using Li-ion battery technology extensively in their everyday lives – in everything from smartphones to laptops and hybrid cars – and organisations are embracing BESS technology for everything from renewable energy storage to electric cars. The rapid rise of Battery Energy Storage Systems that use Li-ion battery technology also brings with risks. So, how to manage them to reduce risks?

The project is expected to produce 690 megawatts of electricity — enough to power 260,000 households — and annually offset greenhouse emissions of about 83,000 cars. Also, it includes 380 MW of 4 hour battery storage It will create about 2,000 direct and indirect jobs and inject an estimated $712.5 million in the economy as the nation tries to recover from the downturn brought on by the coronavirus outbreak, Interior Secretary David Bernhardt said.

When everything becomes normal, you might be so inclined to think about an outdoor recreation. If you would like to enjoy a little modern convenience and comfort of home on your trip into the nature, there is a solution related to power supply we thought you should know about, called a portable power station. It is a new alternative to traditional gas- or diesel- powered generators.

The cathode materials are the key material to determine the battery performance and there is multiple choice of cathode materials within the Li-ion battery. Originally, the main active component of the cathode was cobalt. Currently, cobalt is partially being substituted by other component like nickel. The demand for high energy density, low cost and environmentally friendly batteries makes high-capacity cathode materials very attractive for future LIBs.

In applications where weight is a consideration, Lithium batteries are among the lightest options available. In recent years Lithium has become available in several chemistries; Lithium-Ion, Lithium Iron Phosphate, Lithium Polymer and a few more exotic variations. The LiFePO4 batteries are the safest type of Lithium batteries as they will not overheat, and even if punctured they will not catch on fire.

BYD puts the spotlight back on safety and stability in presenting the Blade Battery. The battery cells themselves provide the structural integrity for the pack, eliminating the need for modules and support beams. To complete the pack, BYD sandwiches the battery blades inside upper and lower high-strength panels, inspired by an aluminum honeycomb structure.

RV camping is increasingly becoming popular nowadays. Electricity is a must in our daily life, it is also indispensablel for powering electric appliance when enjoying recreational vehicles. So where does the electricity come from in the recreational vehicle? Is there any solution if the electricity of recreational vehicle is insufficient to run more electric appliances? Here are some ways of power supply for recreational vehicles.

Is battery for solar storage necessary? Sometimes preparation in advance could give you peace of mind when encounting some emergency. Electricity is a must is everyone’s daily life. As solar has become more common nowadays, a feasible solution--solar and battery storage, is provided to help solve the problems. Preparation of energy for power supply is a big thing to avoid blackouts. As a result, lithium-ion (LiFePO4) battery for storing energy are here to guard you.

China Tower has switched from using lead-acid batteries to procuring recycled LFP batteries from electric vehicles. In 2020, after China Mobile released an announcement of their procurement plan of 1.95 GWh LiFePO4 batteries for telecommunication application, China Tower announced their purchasing plan of 2GWh LiFePO4 battery pack subsequently.

Diesel and natural gas-powered generators have long been the choice for many families and businesses who would like to ensure the electric appliances stay on even if there is a blackout in the neighborhood. But now, “Solar+Storage” is a wonderful technology, and the lower electric bills and environmental protection are meaningful. Adding lithium-ion batteries to your solar system creates an innovative pattern for solar energy and adds energy independence to that mix.

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.
