Lithium-ion battery  is a type of rechargeable battery which can be formed into many shapes and sizes for all applications. Lithium-ion battery has higher energy density, low self-discharge and capacity than other rechargeable batteries which makes them ideal. Lithium technologies have become popular and valuable in powering electronic like laptops and cell phones. Now we will just take a look at one of the interesting E-Mobility applications of Lithium-ion battery          >> Have u heard about self-balancing Unicycle? An  electric unicycle  is a self-balancing personal transporter with a single wheel. The rider controls the speed by leaning forwards or backwards, and steers by twisting the unit using their feet. Lithium battery-36V is used to power up this application Lithium-Ion battery used in Unicycles An electric Unicycle        >>    It’s al...

Projected market demand for lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles from 2017 to 2030 (in gigawatt hours) The lithium-ion battery works on ion movement between the positive and negative electrodes. In theory such a mechanism should work forever, but cycling, elevated temperature and aging decrease the performance over time. Manufacturers take a conservative approach and specify the life of Li-ion in most consumer products as being between 300 and 500 discharge/charge cycles. Evaluating battery life on counting cycles is not conclusive because a discharge may vary in depth and there are no clearly defined standards of what constitutes a cycle  in lieu of cycle count, some device manufacturers suggest battery replacement on a date stamp, but this method does not take usage into account. A battery may fail within the allotted time due to heavy use or unfavorable temperature conditions; however, most packs last considerably longer than what the stamp indicates. KI...

5 Tips to maintain the battery life for electric vehicles

Image
Avoid deep discharging Ensure that there is no deep discharging of batteries, If your battery discharge completely before recharging, it can take time off the overall life discharge. So always ensure the state of charge between 40-70 % capacity. Charge your battery periodically and balance Lithium-ion batteries generally last longer when they are charged and discharged more shallowly, rather than fully from 0 to 100 percent charge. Don't leave your battery sit at a 100% state of charge It is best to charge to around 80% rather than getting a full charge. Keep it cool Park the vehicle in the shade as lithium ion batteries are sensitive to heat. So try to park your vehicle in a cooler spot. Use timers to minimize the time spent at a high state of charge Careful timing of your charging schedule is also better for your batteries. Again, the idea is that lithium-ion batteries are most stable when they are about half charged, not too full and not too emp...
