Non-Correctable Battery Problems

Friday, July 17th, 2009

Some rechargeable batteries can be restored through external means, such as applying a full discharge. There are, however, many defects that cannot be corrected. These include high internal resistance, elevated self-discharge, electrical short, dry-out, plate corrosion and general chemical breakdown.

The performance loss of a battery occurs naturally as part of usage and aging; some is hastened by lack of maintenance, harsh field conditions and poor charging practices. This paper examines the cause of non-correctable battery problems and explores ways to minimize these breakdowns.

High Self-discharge
All dell inspiron 9300 battery are affected by self-discharge. This is not a defect per se, although improper use enhances the condition. Self-discharge is asymptotical; the highest loss occurs right after charge, and then tapers off.

Nickel-based batteries exhibit a relatively high self-discharge. At ambient temperature, a new nickel-cadmium loses about 10% of its capacity in the first 24 hours after charge. The self-discharge settles to about 10% per month afterwards. Higher temperature increases the self-discharge substantially. As a general guideline, the rate of self-discharge doubles with every 10°C (18°F) increase in temperature. The self-discharge of nickel-metal-hydride is about 30% higher than that of nickel-cadmium.

The self-discharge increases after a nickel-based dell inspiron 9400 battery has been cycled for a few hundred times. The battery plates begin to swell and press more firmly against the separator. Metallic dendrites, which are the result of crystalline formation (memory), also increase the self-discharge by marring the separator. Discard a nickel-based battery if the self-discharge reaches 30% in 24 hours

The self-discharge of the lithium-ion battery is 5% in the first 24 hours after charge, and then reduces to 1% to 2% per month thereafter. The safety circuit adds about 3%. High cycle count and aging have little effect on the self-discharge of lithium-based batteries.
A lead-acid dell inspiron b120 battery self-discharges at only 5% per month or 50% per year. Repeated deep cycling increases self-discharge.

The percentage of self-discharge can be measured with a dell inspiron b130 battery analyzer but the procedure takes several hours. Elevated internal battery resistance often reflects in higher internal battery resistance, a parameter that can be measured with an impedance meter or the OhmTest program of the Cadex battery analyzers.


Cell matching
Even with modern manufacturing techniques, the cell capacities cannot be accurately predicted, especially with nickel-based cells. As part of manufacturing, each cell is measured and segregated into categories according to their inherent capacity levels. The high capacity ‘A’ cells are commonly sold for special applications at premium prices; the mid-range ‘B’ cells are used for commercial and industrial applications; and the low-end ‘C’ cells are sold at bargain prices. Cycling will not significantly improve the capacity of the low-end cells. When purchasing rechargeable dell inspiron e1405 battery at a reduced price, the buyer should be prepared to accept lower capacity levels.

The cells in a pack should be matched within +/- 2.5%. Tighter tolerances are required on batteries with high cell count, those delivering high load currents and packs operating at cold temperatures. If only slightly off, the cells in a new pack will adapt to each other after a few charge/discharge cycles. There is a correlation between well-balanced cells and dell inspiron e1505 battery longevity.

Why is cell matching so important? A weak cell holds less dell inspiron e1705 battery capacity and is discharged more quickly than the strong one. This imbalance may cause cell reversal on the weak cell if discharged too low. On charge, the weak cell is ready first and goes into heat-generating overcharge while the stronger cell still accepts charge and remains cool. In both cases, the weak cell is at a disadvantage, making it even weaker and contributing to a more acute cell mismatch.

Quality cells are more consistent in capacity and age more evenly than the lower quality counterparts. Manufacturers of high-end power tools choose high quality cells because of durability under heavy load and temperature extremes. The extra cost pays back on longer lasting packs.

lithium-based cells are by nature closely matched when they come off the manufacturing line. Tight tolerances are important because all cells in a pack must reach the full-charge and end-of-discharge voltage thresholds at a unified time. A built-in protection circuit safeguards against cells that do not follow a normal voltage pattern.

Shorted Cells
Manufacturers are often unable to explain why some cells develop high electrical leakage or an electrical short while still relatively new. The suspected culprit is foreign particles that contaminate the dell latitude d410 battery cells during manufacturing. Another possible cause is rough spots on the plates that damage the separator. Better manufacturing processes have reduced the ‘infant mortality’ rate significantly.

Cell reversal caused by deep discharging also contributes to shorted cells. This may occur if a nickel-based battery is being fully depleted under a heavy load. nickel-cadmium is designed with some reverse voltage protection. A high reverse current, however, will produce a permanent electrical short. Another contributor is marring of the separator through uncontrolled crystalline formation, also known as memory.


Loss of Electrolyte
Although sealed, the cells may lose some electrolyte during their life, especially if venting occurs due to excessive pressure during careless charging. Once venting has occurred, the spring-loaded vent seal on nickel-based cells may never properly close again, resulting in a build-up of white powder around the seal opening. The loss of electrolyte will eventually lower the battery capacity.

Permeation, or loss of electrolyte in valve regulated lead-acid batteries (VRLA) is a recurring problem. Overcharging and operating at high temperatures are the causes. Replenishing lost liquid by adding water offers limited success. Although some capacity may be regained, the performance becomes unreliable.

If correctly charged, lithium-ion cell should never generate gases and cause venting. But in spite of what is said, the lithium-based cells can build up internal pressure under certain conditions. Some cells include an electrical switch that disconnects the current flow if the cell pressure reaches a critical level. Other cells rupture a membrane to release the gases in a controlled way. lithium-ion-polymer dell latitude d420 battery,dell latitude d430 battery in a pouch cell sometime grows to the shape of a small balloon because these cells do not include venting. Ballooning cell are known to damage the housing of the portable device.

Car battery power to seize high ground level, the experts called for calm reflection

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009
SAIC is responsible for new energy car project, said recently, the current R & D is very weak battery SAIC. SAIC  Maoyuan Hu chairman said that the car should be a joint enterprise between the R & D, “is the motive power companies are very concerned about the technology, can be market-oriented enterprises in accordance with the principle of joint research and development, for national support, the development of national standards, enterprise sharing research and development results. “
In fact, as a result of car key components in the battery relatively weak R & D, which is the core of the new energy vehicle, the largest part of the value of the estate, so the major automotive group is stepping up efforts to strive for breakthrough time, occupy the commanding heights.
Said Zhou Wenjie, deputy general manager of Dongfeng Motor, Dongfeng future vgp-bps2, vgp-bps2a, ,vgp-bpl2, motors and electronic control must have its own core technology and patents, “the hope of control of strategic resources.” Chang’an Automobile executives revealed that the key components in the R & D, Chang is the surest electric control system, and battery, the electrical system will need to find support.
Even if the battery is new energy “boss” BYD, the gd761,kd476,td347, dell inspiron 1501 battery  is also facing the problem of intellectual property rights. The industry has been on the attribution of BYD-iron battery patent challenge. It is understood that BYD has thousands of “patent engineer”, as well as a huge database of patents to all patents that may arise to estimate the risk.
Car battery collective experience prompted a bottleneck problem. Many experts have been the face of “overheating” loudly momentum, I hope the new car as soon as possible energy core technology, and not to neglect the improvement of traditional technology upgrade.
The industry believes that the new energy sources should not be simply equated with motor vehicles hybrid vehicles, pure electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles, and the marginalization of other alternative energy sources, if some kind of new energy vehicles can not achieve the high capacity,  dell inspiron 6400 battery , dell inspiron e1505 battery,easy to use, will not be able to be universal.
Automobile enterprises have different voices. Tao, deputy general manager of Chery Automobile believe that an effective way to solve the problem is to achieve diversification, and should continue to strengthen the traditional gasoline engine fuel efficiency and reducing consumption. Ford Motor Jialin Yang the original high-level technical experts believe that such a severe environment in the energy, if not in the mainstream of automotive power-saving technology product efforts, it is unrealistic and dangerous. When abroad, a large number of low-cost, dell latitude 131l battery,low fuel consumption of automotive products to enter the Chinese market, the own brand products to mainstream enterprises will not be able to compete.

New type of polymer lithium-ion battery successfully developed

With independent intellectual property rights of a new type of polymer lithium-ion battery R & D success of a few days ago and will soon be put into the production process of industrialization. According to Science and Technology Daily reported that this unique battery technology is from 4 years ago returning from overseas, led by its researchers Following the liquid plastic film lithium-ion power batteries made after the outcome of an important. At present, the polymer lithium-ion battery production lines are under construction.

It is understood that the liquid lithium-ion battery is the most high-tech research in recent years one of the important results, representing the current development of the chemical power of the most advanced level. As a result of such batteries with high specific energy and recycling, the good life, such as a significant advantage, now widely used in mobile communications, cameras, laptops and other electronic devices, and is gradually moving towards electric bicycles, electric vehicles and other areas to expand the scope of application. It is estimated that the global lithium-ion dell battery demand has reached 1.3 billion, and with the applications and the ever-expanding year by year.

In liquid lithium-ion battery at the same time the successful commercialization of polymer lithium-ion battery (PLIB) research has been particular concern to them. As a new generation of lithium-ion battery system, PLIB not only with liquid lithium-ion battery all the technical advantages, but also has a higher specific energy and better safety performance. In addition, PLIB is recognized as the most development potential and future application of the battery market products. It is predicted that in the next few years, PLIB will replace the liquid lithium-ion batteries for nearly 50% market share, there are broad prospects for the development of Japan and many other major battery makers focus on R & D investment and the direction of.

The past, both at home and abroad polymer lithium-ion battery manufacturers use the United States Bell Laboratories Bellcore process. However, due to the cumbersome process of the method, low efficiency, investment in equipment and the shortcomings of higher cost of production, serious constraints of polymer lithium-ion battery development and industrialization. Domestic and foreign markets in recent years in the so-called polymer lithium-ion battery products, but in fact is a flexible liquid batteries, there are still a large number of internal dynamic electrolyte flow, do not have the characteristics of polymer electrolyte, in the security risk there. With lithium-ion battery in the communications and IT industry’s rapid surge in usage, the battery safety performance is increasingly prominent, not only the requirements of lithium-ion battery has excellent electrical properties, also called for greater security.

CITIC Beijing UNITA solid profits and new material technology, Beijing Institute of New Energy Materials and Technology Laboratory, through years of research, in a large number of laboratory work on the basis of a number of key materials through an integrated technology, the first synthesis of a unique structure microporous polymer composite membrane, and then use a unique production process of polymer batteries developed a polymer lithium-ion battery. The battery has a very excellent low-temperature discharge performance and cycle performance (over 500). With the same battery capacity compared to liquid packaging, such polymer lithium-ion rechargeable battery and acupuncture in the past, such as safety testing, in particular, a unique performance advantages. Importantly, by researchers and development of new polymer lithium-ion battery production technology, also has a small investment in equipment and production technology is simple and so on. The results with independent intellectual property rights, there is no doubt China will enhance battery manufacturing sector in the international competitiveness and promote domestic polymer lithium-ion kd476 battery, td347 battery, dell inspiron 1501 battery industry and greatly expand the lithium-ion battery applications.

U.S. R & D of micro-generators to replace the phone battery

Recently, the USA and Georgia Institute of Technology announced that with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, working closely with scientists, they have successfully developed a micro-generators, only 10 mm in diameter, is the continuing use of mobile phone battery is more than 10 times.

Over the years, more and more compact electronic products, and its battery has a larger volume of plays. In order to solve this problem, the scientists have been dedicated to the development of micro-generators, and put forward a number of different principles of micro-generators. And the Georgia Institute of Technology scientists have developed such a generator to replace the phone battery, indicating that micro-generators to enter the electronic products to replace conventional batteries and an important step.

The principle of the micro-generator is installed in a chip on the induction coil, so that a small rotating magnet around the coil, resulting in sufficient current. Through continuous testing, the rotating speed of the magnet is now up to 100,000 per minute lap, the speed can generate 1.1 kilowatts of electricity, enough to replace the phone battery.

Fuel cells should be the development of new energy in the success of

A few days ago, by the four home appliances and accessory factories in Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences to develop the national “863″ the new fuel cell energy projects successful “out” next year will be in volume production in May.

It is reported that the fuel cell using hydrogen and oxygen in the air a chemical reaction and generate electricity and hydrogen with a drive more than three hundred kilometers. Compared to conventional fuel energy, it has a high rate of energy conversion, less environmental pollution, etc., which is considered the first choice of 21 clean, efficient, clean energy. This will not only fuel cell electric vehicles in use, but also for submarines and other military equipment, have good market prospects.

Power grid investment imbalances appear contradictory

China’s electricity supply situation in 2005 as follows: lack of electricity is reduced, the degree of ease power shortage, the largest gap from 12 to 20 million kilowatts, seasonal power shortages, electricity supply shortages apparent randomness; power grids and power imbalance between investment contradictions begin to be felt.

Ouyang Changyu said, according to a preliminary statistical analysis of production units in 2005 more than 68.4 million kilowatts, of which 23.8 million kilowatts during the first half of production more than the end of power generation capacity of more than 510 million kilowatts. Electricity shortage in recent years against a background of a lot of money into the field of power construction, signs of a new round of power surplus, the imbalance between investment in the power grid began to gradually expose the contradictions. If the project can not be put into production on schedule or electricity supply problems are not solved, is even more serious power shortage.

Ouyang Changyu, said in 2005 should attach great importance to investment in power grids and power imbalances, do everything possible to increase power grid investment. Study suggested that the state departments concerned to speed up the market mechanism to play a fundamental role in the macro-control mechanism for project construction as soon as possible the establishment of a unified power grid and power planning, coordination mechanism for development.
