Conventional batteries pose a shock?
As early as May 2004, EEStor company claims that they have created a cost per Kodak KLIC-8000 kilowatt-hour for half the price of lead-acid batteries, lead-acid battery energy storage rate is 10 times the super-capacitors. The product weighs about 336 pounds (153 kilograms), can store 52 kwh of energy, such a system will dramatically from the energy density, the price to charge time and safety on more than the current market lithium batteries. This technique is based on barium titanate as the dielectric of a basic parallel-plate capacitor, the manufacture of such ceramic cell - super capacitor technology system does not require toxic materials and chemicals.
EEStor's ambition comes from its "alternative electro-chemical Minolta Battery," the patent. EEStor in 2004, began plans to build its own assembly line, and thus access to mass production technology licensing. From their plans to see their unit production costs may also be more than conventional lithium batteries have an advantage.
There have been comments that this has great significance of the invention, the break is not only fundamentally changed the electric car's location and transportation, will also be improved, such as wind, solar and other intermittent energy use performance, but also enhanced the efficiency of power grid and stability Minolta NP-200, will also meet people's demand for energy security and reduce dependence on oil.
Clearly, the break also the next generation of lithium batteries Yan Zhizhe threat. EEStor company have suggested that their technology is not only applicable to small passenger electric vehicles Konica Minolta Battery, is also likely to replace a large 300-horsepower car.
