Daimler commits to release its own line of home batteries to take on Tesla

Daimler, Mercedes-Benz and smart parent company, has announced that it will release its own line of batteries for homes and small businesses within this year. The batteries will be available exclusively in Germany initially, but Daimler wants to gradually expand the market to other European countries and, possibly, the United States in the medium-term future.

Daimler executives explained quickly that the decision to enter the home battery market isn’t a direct response to Tesla’s recent announcement. The company outsources production of the lithium-ion battery packs found its in hybrids and electric vehicles to a wholly-owned subsidiary called Accumotive, which has also been building high-capacity battery packs for large commercial and industrial applications since 2012.
Chemically speaking, Daimler’s home battery is closely related to the lithium-ion battery packs found in the company’s cars. The battery works just like Tesla’s: Ideally mounted on a wall, it can be charged during off-peak hours when electricity is cheaper and turned on during peak hours when it is more expensive. Two or more batteries can be combined if extra capacity is needed, and homeowners looking to seriously trim their power bill can link the installation to solar panels or wind turbines.

Solar Power Battery Storage System Solar power battery has a high operating voltage, high energy density, a series of unique advantages of long cycle life, environmental protection and so on. And supports stepless extension. After the composition of the energy storage system for large-scale energy storage. Solar storage batteries  energy storage system consists of Solar power battery group, a battery management system (Battery Management System, BMS), commutation devices (rectifiers, inverters), central monitoring system, transformers and other components, as shown in FIG. Solar power battery energy storage system of energy conversion principles. Charging stage, intermittent power supply or power grid as the energy storage system is charged, the AC to DC rectifier rectifier after charging the battery energy storage module to store energy; discharge phase, the energy storage system to the grid or the load is discharged, the battery energy storage module through the inverter DC to AC inv

China 2015 mass production of graphene lithium or subvert the electric car industry

Image
December 26, 2014, the US electric carmaker Tesla released an updated version of the discontinued two years ago, the first generation model Roadster, the mileage of 644 km, 60% higher than the original.   Advances in battery technology to enhance the performance of the Tesla product, after Roadster Mileage is 393 km. Tesla CEO Musk said Tesla high-performance graphene battery, compared to the current capacity increase of nearly 70 percent. British scientists have invented graphene after 10 years, the application of the battery with great breakthrough. In early December, the Western media reported that Spain and the Spanish company Graphenano Cordoba University to develop graphene battery, a charging time of just eight minutes, can travel 1000 km. It is graphene researchers called "super cell." "We still understand the situation, the specific situation in Spain is proving such a battery, if this is confirmed, it is indeed a revolutionary c

Why Lithium Polymer Battery So Popular

Image
The lithium-ion battery electrolyte material different from the lithium-ion battery is divided into liquid lithium-ion battery (Liquified Lithium-Ion Battery, referred to as LIB) and lithium-ion polymer battery (Polymer Lithium-Ion Battery, referred to as the PLB) with lithium or plastic ion battery (Plastic Lithium ion batteries, referred to as the PLB). Anode and cathode materials used in lithium-ion polymer battery with liquid lithium-ion is the same, divided into cathode material of lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganese oxide,  LifePo4 batteries  ternary materials and materials, graphite is extremely negative, the battery works basically consistent. The main difference lies in the different electrolytes, liquid lithium-ion battery using a liquid electrolyte, lithium-ion polymer battery Zeyi solid polymer electrolyte to replace, such polymers can be "dry state", it can be "colloidal" currently most using a polymer gel electrolyte. Classification Solid: The
