Why hummingbirds have to serve with their name for a new lithium battery
Von laptop, 11:19Widespread in all sorts of electronic equipment found today with lithium batteries. The lithium-ion version is characterized by its compactness and light weight, yet it boasts a high performance for mobile phones, digital cameras and Co..
The applications of lithium-ion DELL XPS M1530 battery are far reaching. Even cordless drill, garden tools, camcorders and laptops get through it provided the necessary energy. They are currently developing electric cars, bicycles and hybrid vehicles of all kinds, which of course require more power.
Battery fires should never be extinguished with water
Critique of the producers had to reap such Dell Latitude D505 battery, as these because of production errors every now and then suddenly went up in flames. Especially dangerous is it when started to melt due to short-circuiting the case of the electronic device. The burning batteries should never hold it under running water to extinguish the fire. For safety, they should extinguish the flames with sand. Lithium-polymer Dell Inspiron 1525 battery are the planned evolution of the ion-variant. They consist of a solid to gel-like film of polymer. In liquid electrolytes are not used. DBM-Energy, a young Berlin-based start-up company, developed the so-called "hummingbird Alpha Polymer Technology" variant. Here is set to the possible use in electric cars. At the award ceremony for Car of the Future "was in the spring of the company awarded the" Innovation of reason ".
Emulating nature
But why the name "Hummingbird"? Well, hummingbirds need only two grams of food in the form of flower nectar, but fly long distances of up to 800 kilometers - when the time is not efficient. Since the invention of DBM-Energy will be equally efficient, the company called their DELL Latitude D620 battery after the smallest of the birds. The efficiency of these batteries is as much as 99.7 percent - conventional lithium-ion Dell XPS M1730 battery bring it on "just" 80 percent efficiency. By using novel membrane-coating technologies, and can use the "hummingbird Alpha Polymer Technology" batteries not ignite. Compared to lead-acid batteries, weigh only a tenth of the new batteries and bring it to a third of the size. Even the batteries are very expensive.
