Panasonic will be February 20 of the products to market, its price will be 37,900 yen (about 355 U.S. dollars). Chengdu courtyard where residents have finally lost the place used batteries. Yesterday was informed that in order to achieve the objectives of the creation of Environmental Protection Model City, Chengdu, the first batch of nearly 100 recently has been a “battery recycling boxes” installed on a residential compound. Used batteries will be unified departments recovery, battery factory and then transported to the city for special treatment.


Battery recycling bins into the area, marking the beginning of the full establishment of Chengdu, the risk of waste collection system of classification, after the danger of the existence of disorderly conditions of garbage will be completely resolved.


Learned from relevant departments, a total investment of the risk of nearly 1 billion junk storage and processing center is expected to completed in the next year to deal specifically with used batteries, slag, smelting, as well as organic solvents, such as Java. According to the plan, the center occupies an area of a few mu, and mu in the next building on the landfill.

Fuel cell and hybrid

Fuel cell and hybrid

Fellow of the President of Honda Canada and the United States Yang thought that, by 2020, fuel cell and hybrid vehicle market share of 5-10%. However, many manufacturers, especially Toyota, it is even more optimistic about the oil, electric hybrid vehicles the future of the development dell latitude d500 battery, dell latitude d505 battery. Toyota and even that is not a fuel cell hybrid transitional technology, the future of all Toyota hybrid vehicles will be used.

It is reported that hybrid electric vehicles can use the battery energy storage and internal combustion engines. A battery-driven motor, in the first step, the engine idling, such as adverse working conditions at work, in order to achieve environmental protection and energy saving effect.

Those who support the hybrid view, this car has become a mature technology, the market has gradually begun to recognition, such as the Honda Insight, Toyota PRIUS in the United States and Japan have been used for many years, selling more than 100,000, a good energy saving effect , record breaking the record of the lowest fuel consumption.

Canada and the United States for its three-yang does not look that hybrid can not fundamentally solve the environmental protection, energy saving issues. Out of high oil prices unless otherwise how difficult hybrid market appeal.

Since there is a dispute hybrid, then, in the fuel cell vehicle technology is mature more than 20 years before, we will adopt environmentally-friendly car?

A pure electric vehicles is that some companies also do R & D carried out in this regard to try, but after all, pure electric vehicle market is limited, Moreover, it is difficult to solve the technical driving force for the weak, the charge cycle length, secondary pollution, such as old batteries therefore, pure electric vehicles such as buses only as a vehicle to use for specific purposes.

There is also often present in Beijing, the street will see liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and compressed natural gas vehicle (CNG) vehicles, as well as ethanol and other alternative-fuel vehicles. Such vehicle is in the traditional basis of the engine, for other gas or liquid fuel. This is technically simple, but it can not fundamentally solve the energy and environmental protection.

And the general public, PSA and other European car company's plan, the promotion of large quantities of modern diesel cars. To this end, the FAW-Volkswagen also introduced the 1.9 liters of diesel Jetta SDi dell latitude d510 battery, dell latitude d520 battery cars, but diesel cars in China is also facing many problems such as fuel quality.

Canada and the United States Yang thought that, in fact, in recent years, major automobile manufacturers in the high efficiency, low consumption, environmentally friendly gasoline engine into a more energy, after all, gasoline engine in the future a long period of time will continue to dominate the market.

Should not focus on recycling used batteries

Should not focus on recycling used batteries

At present, Beijing has not used batteries to deal specifically with the manufacturers, more than 100,000 storage dell inspiron 500m battery, dell inspiron 510m batteries has become a big trouble. State Environmental Protection Administration, consultants, chairman of the China Institute of Environmental Science researcher Ye seek, in an interview with reporters yesterday that in fact, used batteries should not be focused on recycling, solid waste, together with a more reasonable sanitary landfill.

It is reported that Beijing residents used batteries collected are useful to focus on the garbage collection centers in Beijing, but also the handling of the battery or "storage." According to the Center to introduce a woman, they have received nearly 300 tons of used batteries, in the absence of a mature processing technology, these battery-only approach, the supply was sporadic laboratory experiment, and the rest are stored in several large containers.

"We are really not dealing with the mature technology used batteries. That is because now the battery has been very little pollution, even if the technology is developed to deal with is not really meaningful, so it does not by scientists to study." Ye demand, the batteries environmental pollution is mainly due to containing mercury, which is usually the "mercury", but the battery on the market for more than 95 percent of all mercury-free. Both nickel-cadmium batteries, or lithium electricity, hydrogen power, the pollution of the environment are very slight, slow, battery recycling and therefore there is no need for environmental protection. Another reporter has learned that at the end of 1997 China issued the "Regulations on restrictions on mercury content in batteries," which in 2002 had to stop the production of high-mercury batteries, and in 2006 to eliminate mercury-containing batteries. The survey also shows that scientific research units, both at home and abroad are not a result of serious pollution caused by waste battery case.

"On the contrary, to focus on serious pollution of the local potential." Yip said that the production of battery materials, including zinc, copper, graphite, asphalt, steel and other substances, and garbage in the landfill will be distributed together with the slow decomposition of the environment can be absorbed resolve. However, if the concentration of processing or storage of used batteries of heavy metals such as nickel-cadmium concentration exceeded in some areas, and even can lead to more serious secondary pollution.

Ye order also said that from an economic perspective, recycling of used batteries is also uneconomical. Some European countries and the United States, are not specialized agencies of the waste battery recycling. Ye seek to emphasize that compared with the dry-cell dell inspiron 600m batteries a large number of batteries containing lead, can seriously pollute the environment, and therefore needed to deal with the professional sector recovery.

Haikou battery market

Haikou battery market

Yesterday that the business sector from the sea, before and after the holiday, the business sector supervision in the market and found that the current of the 6y270, c1295 battery market in Haikou, there are many problems, the failure rate at around 20%.

It is reported that these problems can be found in the following areas: battery production date is not marked, and some do not have the production date and no expiration date; no site, no warning that the Chinese; not specify standards for the implementation of the standard number or code, or even individual products without negative signs; mark the site content is not accurate and so on. At the same time, there are a number of consumer complaints battery discharge standard content, a few days later with no battery power. This situation in a number of small shops and mobile vendors reflected particularly strong.
