A developer of large-format Lithium-ion rechargeable cells, batteries, and energy storage systems (ESS), says it will collaborate with Hydro-Québec to further develop water-based manufacturing processes of Lithium-ion batteries. Hydro-Québec is a world leader in advanced Lithium and Lithium-ion battery research and has a strong intellectual property (IP) position for aqueous electrode technology. Hydro-Québec started…
Grant aims to develop 1 MWh battery
A U.S. developer and manufacturer of large-format lithium-ion rechargeable batteries and energy storage systems says it has received an $800,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Energy Development Authority (PEDA) to design, manufacture and test an 800 kWh bulk energy storage system expandable to one megawatt. The grant is part of PEDA’s mission to promote development and…
24-V lithium-ion high energy storage
A U.S. manufacturer and developer of large-format Lithium-ion (Li-ion) rechargeable cells, batteries, and large energy storage systems, introduced the IBexus – a 24V, 4.1 kWh Li-ion battery suitable for power storage from renewable energy sources. The first of a product family from International Battery has eight cells. Tasks could range from sustainable home pilot projects…
Hybrid power train drives this cool cat when wind cannot
A hybrid power train in the world’s largest plug-in, hybrid-electric sailboat – a 60-ft Tag Yachts catamaran, will let it run on wind-generated electricity stored in lithium-ion batteries. Christened Tang at her September 21 launching, the carbon-fiber cat is undergoing tests at Tag facilities in St. Francis Bay, South Africa. She’ll set sail later this…
