We have been reporting about the Tesla Model Y mega castings for quite some time already. Little did we know that this was part of a much larger plan: Tesla intends to integrate the battery pack to ...

Lithium-ion batteries can become unstable under certain conditions, leading to fires. Now, researchers have used new materials that they say can make batteries safer.

So you’ve been tasked to design the monitor circuitry for a new battery-based power system. What strategies will you employ to optimize the design for cost and manufacturability? The initial ...

Climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, together with the need for renewable energies and a more sustainable future, are pushing the global economy toward electrical mobility. To be successful, ...

There are many processes at work during the charging and discharging of a lithium-ion battery, some of which are still not fully understood despite the technology’s growing prevalence. Observing such ...

Scientists at the Fudan University in Shanghai, China, have developed a high-performance Li-ion battery made of carbon nanotube fiber yarns. Roughly one 1 mm in diameter, the fiber shaped lithium-ion ...

"It is simply a matter of time before there are more incidents." “Unfortunately, the pack architecture supplied to Boeing is inherently unsafe,” Musk told Flightglobal. “Large cells without enough ...

Rechargeable paper battery is cheaper, safer & as powerful as lithium A battery that's safer and cheaper than lithium-ion while offering comparable energy density? That sounds like a pipe dream. But ...
