“Anti-time” to open the China Battery “Lithium Iron” era

Monday, November 30th, 2009

We learn of the last century, the nineties, civilian consumption of China, the battery is increased carbon alkaline the first revolution of the transition from low energy to high energy, high pollution unless pollutant, from backward to move closer to the pace at the international revolutionary changes. This time, when the super-resistant to the advent of lithium-iron laptop battery means that it marked the first use of the Chinese civil battery ultra-high energy, more pollution of the environment natural integration for free with the second revolution of the planet. China has jumped from behind the drums to lead the world’s largest market of battery consumption - the battery in China, “Li-Iron” era began.

Ultra-high performance prospects broad application

Lithium-iron battery is a kind of beginning of this century has been developed by the United States and Europe to replace alkaline batteries in high tech products, because of its unparalleled performance and environmental benefits of early discharge trained in the developed world. Guangzhou-resistant when entrepreneurs rely on their own and national universities hp laptop battery, research institutions the power of talent has quickly developed its own proprietary formulations and in 2005, was completed and began to export large quantities of product oriented was among the first in the technical area occupied high ground of domestic firms. Previously, resistance to the company’s lithium-iron batteries, which are mainly exported to Europe and the United States, developed countries, the United States meets Energizer in the international market, a major opponent.

Ultra-high power lithium, iron battery has a capacity for high discharge requirements in products such as digital cameras, camcorders, SLR cameras, with seven times more life dell 3R305 battery. Resistance when the battery lithium-iron-discharge is low, life up to 15 years. Resistance when lithium iron batteries, light weight, only two thirds of alkaline, with high-lithium metal element of energy and iron sulfide natural, contains no toxic and hazardous substances, the Lead, mercury is equal to zero, is a true green battery. As a resistance when the lithium-iron battery is equivalent to 7 alkaline batteries, the number of batteries can be significantly reduced. Lithium-ion batteries also have a job, many performance adapted from 40 to 80 degrees Celsius below zero environment, can not function properly.

The lithium-iron battery suited to the needs of the high current discharge with electrical appliances such as digital camera battery, cameras, regular cameras, electric toys, electric razors, digital electronic products, equipment display digital medical equipment and so on. Resistance when the iron with lithium No. 5 on the 7th day of batteries such as disposable alkaline batteries, battery carbon and nickel-metal hydride, nickel cadmium, zinc and silver rechargeable batteries used interchangeably have become so far the best cells of columnar upgrade products and have gradually become a small portable electronic products the best power.

The safety of the environment, reduce pollution and help the industry

For many years the battery industry has been a headache for the department of environmental protection. Mainly due to traditional batteries on the human body and a great threat to the natural environment. As we all know, a normal battery can be seriously contaminated the soil or hundreds of tons of a cubic meter of water. Mercury in batteries should be against the body’s nervous system, can also lead to heart disease and blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, but also affect the human liver, thyroid and function of the skin. Cadmium rechargeable batteries contained in the human body easy to cause chronic poisoning, caused by emphysema, kidney damage, liver disease, osteoporosis, anemia, physical paralysis, but the biggest culprits causing drop. Lead can cause neurasthenia, hand and foot numbness, indigestion indigestion, abdominal cramps, blood poisoning and other diseases, and so on. No community, toxic pollution-free batteries, and recycling of batteries and increasing demand for high voice. However, on the one hand China the battery is only a recovery rate of just 2 percent, on the other hand, the sony battery companies in China are not yet sufficient financial and technological resources to properly manage the recovery used batteries. The objective reality was even put forward for improved battery power, reducing the total number of urgent needs of the battery.

From 2005 to 2008, three years, the high energy environment of the alkaline battery 1 billion each year the number increases, while the carbon containing toxic substances in batteries and nickel-cadmium batteries in an average annual decline of 200 million decline in large scale. The figures show that non-toxic, energy batteries environmentally-friendly high has become a clear trend growth in consumer demand.

It is reported that when the lithium-battery resistance of iron not only have high energy, but also in environmental protection unmatched. Lithium-iron battery is not only do not contain toxic and hazardous materials, but also because of a lithium-iron battery can replace seven alkaline batteries, 42 battery carbon, can significantly reduce the number of batteries. Analysts estimate that when the super-resistant to the advent of lithium-iron battery and universal, will significantly reduce the battery industry at the expense of our environment for our children and grandchildren to keep the Pure Land will be a strong guarantee.

Semi-break extension of monopoly pricing

As the lithium iron are still some cuts in the international advanced technology, and therefore the monopoly giants objects, one of the malls few people can already see brand Product name imports, the price of 20 yuan more than the one around this price the user to return to the heavy load, and the alkaline list the difficulties encountered by the sony digital camera battery same ultra-high price is also a lithium-iron battery will cross the threshold of universal access. When he was ten years ago, a brand of imported alkaline batteries sold in China, 12 yuan, with domestic brands compete in the market by the successful development of the production of its own production lines, the efficiencies, reducing overall cost, the price was finally reduced to that of today, 2 yuan level, and ultimately of alkaline batteries in China, universal access.

Guangzhou, where the super-resistant lithium-iron battery is the commitment of the half-price imports of branded goods for sale, fully encouraged the people to enjoy the local interests of its intellectual property products Huimin own. The move will no doubt where resistance to ultra-high-price performance advantage by virtue of its commitment to the universal authority of the test results, when resistance to the price of lithium-iron battery but less than half, but the execution without any hesitation. “With the constant improvement of our sales, the size of the operating costs will be significantly reduced in the next super lithium-iron battery may also lower the price of space, will eventually be replaced by a wide range of alkaline batteries.” Some analysts said.

According to statistics from the China Battery Association, China became the world’s largest manufacturer of batteries and battery consumption of a country. In 2008, the value of industrial production in China of 246.8 billion yuan from the battery, the battery output of 39.2 billion euros, compared to 2007, an increase of over 40% including 4 in exports, 6 into the market. The future large-scale lithium-ion batteries to replace alkaline batteries, rechargeable batteries and some will result in hundreds of billions on a huge market.

Lithium batteries leads 160 km with only 18 units of electricity

Friday, November 27th, 2009

Same as for recharging electric bicycles future, the public can directly out of the house to recharge electric vehicles, charge a battery will be able to travel 160 km stretch. Yesterday the reporter learned from-Shanghai high-tech industrialization projects key, “the new energy automotive batteries power lithium particles project investment contract signing laptop battery ceremony was informed that the year next World Conference Expo, produced by the Shanghai high security sector of space lithium ion batteries are installed in both cars Expo with a VIP interior, lithium-ion electric car in 2012 is expected to this market.

According to industry insiders believe that the future of civil lithium-ion electric car is expected to control the lowest price of $ 10 or less. “Designing a rechargeable lithium-ion battery electric cars to run 160 miles with only 18 units of electricity, the maximum speed of 120 km, the battery life of over 10 years.” Deputy Chief Engineer of Shanghai Institute of Space Power Jiang Xinhua introduced yesterday, providing the same energy conditions, the size of lithium-ion ac adapter and weight of only one third of nickel-hydride batteries, metal, Lithium-ion battery, and therefore more suitable for electric vehicles. At present, developed by the Shanghai Institute of Space Power lithium-ion battery has been installed successfully in the SAIC of the electric car type vehicles.

Under the plan, Shanghai 2012 Aerospace Power Technology Co., Ltd. will form an annual production of 100 million vehicle when the power capacity of lithium-ion battery. In the meantime, lithium-ion electric car is also expected on the  dell laptop ac adapter market, displaced millions of households.

The growth in the battery industry in October before the overall industry forecast

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

Yesterday, the China Electronic Components Industry Association’s official website released in 2009 from January to October in China battery industry’s revenue situation, notice that:

2009 from January to October, China’s dell Inspiron 6400 battery industry’s accumulated industrial sales output value increased by 0.65%; cumulative production and marketing rate of 96.38%.

2009 from January to October, China’s battery industry’s accumulated industrial sales output value increased by 0.65%; cumulative production and marketing rate of 96.38%. Accumulated export delivery value fell 12.50 percent, a decline of more than 0.05 percentage points from January to September narrowed. October month, the battery industry, the completion of industrial sales output value increased by 7.18%.

From January to October, production of lead-acid batteries dell Inspiron 1526 battery accumulated year on year increase of 17.8% over the January-September increased by 1.2 percentage points; alkaline batteries cumulative production fell 20.6% over the January-September narrowed 1.1 percentage points; primary cells accumulated production fell 8.8%, a decline from January to September compared with narrowed 0.9 percentage points.

As can be seen from the data, the first ten months China’s battery industry sales volume increased year on year, which for the suffering of the international financial crisis of the electronics industry is undoubtedly a good news. However, as the financial crisis and other aspects, a lot of battery companies in China still faces a loss of extended closure of converting the other challenges, China’s battery companies still need to increase efforts to inner strength, to maintain growth, looking for their own development in line with company strategies and markets.

1, the battery industry trends

The advancement of technology and increasing demand for downstream applications, driven by the battery industry will arise in the development of three major trends:
Trend 1: the traditional lead-acid batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries in the civilian areas will be gradually replace the traditional lead-acid batteries are bulky, energy efficiency is low, and pollution is serious, its market demand is declining year after year; due to cadmium is toxic in many developed countries has proposed to prohibit the use of nickel-cadmium batteries. Conventional batteries in civilian areas will be gradually replaced.

Trend 2: Ni-MH battery and the rapid development of lithium-ion battery

Lithium-ion batteries with large capacity, long cycle life, no memory, etc., in the high-end consumer products such as electronic communication area of small and medium-power battery has made considerable progress, has become the world’s first choice for consumer electronics products, the battery. Especially in mobile communication devices (such as mobile phones), portable electronic devices (such as notebook computers) in areas such as lithium battery consumption is growing rapidly.

Compared with the lithium batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries with a high-power technology is mature, safety and reliability, high cycle efficiency and low cost advantages. Nickel-metal hydride batteries in the field of industrial batteries, especially in the field of high-power industrial battery power is gradually occupy dominant market position.

Trend 3: solar photovoltaic cells to flourish

Solar photovoltaic cells solar energy directly into electrical energy, with environmental protection, resource endless and so on. In particular, the use of solar photovoltaic power generation system is in vigorous period of development in the next few years, solar cell industry will maintain rapid growth.

Second, the fuel cell is the future direction of development

Fuel cells will be the following water, fire, nuclear energy after the 4th generation of internal combustion engines for power generation and alternative power plant. Fuel cells as energy use of new technologies, with efficient, clean, etc., has become the world’s energy field of the development of hot spots.

Fuel cell is divided into phosphoric acid fuel cell, alkaline fuel cells, proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cells, molten carbonate fuel cell and regenerative fuel cells, different types, different characteristics, uses are not the the same. Proton exchange membrane fuel cell represents the latest progress of the fuel cell, its thermal efficiency as high as 45% ~ 65% efficient internal combustion engine than the general 20% to 30%, so the battery of such great potential in automotive applications.

Fuel cells a wide range of applications, can be used in mobile phone or home appliances, but also can be used in transportation. Including Japan, the United States, the European Union and other countries, are developing pollution-free fuel cell cars.

Fuel cell electric vehicle technology is already quite mature, and whether commercialization is the key to consumer acceptance, that is, the use of performance, life, price and fuel around the system, the need to make consumers satisfied. At present fuel cells, related materials, system components, vehicle manufacturers and fuel supply companies, are working together to solve these problems, but also need government support, incentives and subsidies, in order to gradually create the initial market.

The United States, Japan and Europe already in the government’s support, with national fuel cell related industry vendors have set up Fuel Cell Partnership to carry out fuel cell electric vehicle education and promotion work. Government departments in these countries are also active in providing incentives such as subsidies and tax reduction measures, and facilitate the establishment of the initial fuel around the system. My Government is the promotion of fuel cell technology is also spared no effort, hoping to accelerate the practical application to promote their products.

Suppose in 2009 China produced only 5 million electric bicycles, but as long as 1% of the new electric bike using a fuel cell, then it will become the world’s largest potential in the emerging fuel cell market.
