Battery Technology Battery History • 1800 First battery • 1880 First practical battery • 1949 First Alkaline battery Eveready • 1954 Alkaline manganese cell AAA • 1956 9Volt battery Eveready • 1959 Commercially available Alkaline • 1960 First nickel cadmium rechargeable battery
Battery Technology Battery History • 1960 First miniature silver-oxide “button batteries” for watches and hearing aids • 1992 First lithium batteries • 2006 Super battery/Ultra capacitors using nanotube technology
Battery Technology In 1999 Electric Vehicle Institute developed an Hybrid diesel electrical buses for NASA that utilized ultra capacitors vice batteries with a regenerative braking system showed a 56% saving in fuel economy. A Texas firm under a secretive project has announced that is has created a ultracapacitor power system weighing in at 100 pounds. Final product to be released in August 2007.
Battery Technology • Ultra capacitors can be charged 100,000s of times with degradation. • Charge time Ultracapacitor is quick. • The Texas firm report recharge time of 9 minutes and a range of 500 mile per charge • Environmental friendly • Can be adopted for use in all appliances and electronic equipment.
