Starting an engine at -43°C. Yes we can!
Most of us have experienced frustration when having to start their car the first time it has been freezing during the night. The battery (a lead-acid accu) is dead. At very cold temperatures like -20°C even a new battery will not have enough energy left to crank an...
The battery everyone is waiting for has arrived.
1. High energy density 23680 hybrid energy capacitor cells reach production milestone. The battery everyone has been looking for has arrived. And it is not a battery. It's a hybrid Energy Capacitor. No need to wait for Battery Day. Battery energy storage is one of the...
China to Enforce Electric Vehicle Safety by 2021
Does one need a clearer statement that Li-ion batteries are unsafe? And is the complexity needed to mitigate (not eliminate) the risk not another sign that we need something better that is simple and robust? Besides the risk of fire, Li-ion batteries also emit a lot...
Comprehensive overview with New Atlas article
For a short and comprehensive overview on our breakthrough carbon based hybrid powercapacitors, have a look at this article in New Atlas. Scepticism allowed, we passed that stage as well. The reactions in terms of more info requests have been phenomenal. Thanks to...
Very low temperature tests by T.U.Munich
The Technical University of Munich, Institute of Astronautics is conducting a test campaign at very low temperatures. The first results are very promising. The following graph shows a capacity test of a 18650 cell and a 23680 cell from 0 °C down to -50 °C The graph...
