Although the idea seemed to be a perfect solution to charging problems, it required an expensive network of stations and agreements with all vehicle manufacturers, which proved unfeasible. After an investment of more than $400 million, the project went bankrupt in 2014. Without...

Traction batteries. The batteries that "have the worst life" Currently, three types of batteries can be differentiated: starting, stationary and traction batteries. Starting batteries: High current peaks are demanded during short periods of time. Once the engine starts, the alternator starts to charge them. Its normal state, the 90% of its life is of rest to full load and its design is oriented to increase the number of plates, diminishing its thickness, to increase the surface of plate in contact with the electrolyte, which is the characteristic of the battery that facilitates high peaks of...

Standard European and Asian Battery Schematics, Fasteners and Terminals Vehicle batteries are critical to the performance and safety of any electrical system. In both Europe and Asia, there are standard schemes, fasteners and terminals that ensure battery compatibility and efficiency, but it is important to know the differences. In this article, we explain the keys to understanding these components and how they affect your vehicle or equipment. Battery Terminals European Terminals (DIN Standard) European batteries follow the DIN standard (Deutsche Industrie Norm), which establishes the size and layout of the battery terminals.

Advantages and disadvantages of Lead Acid batteries (ION/LiPo/LiFEPO4/NMC) In the common technologies used in automotive and electric energy storage, conventional lead acid batteries and lithium batteries in their different forms are widely used. All batteries are composed of an anode, a cathode, the electrolyte (used to communicate the anode with the cathode and generate electricity), and a separator in the case of lithium batteries, to prevent an internal short-circuit caused by the power, which could compromise the battery and the connected system. Operation in...
