In our lives, we have become accustomed to a variety of different types of batteries, from AA to AAA battery, and the tablet battery applicated on various calculators and watches, as well as smart phones square lithium battery.But these batteries are not light and thin enough,while the thickness of the capacity and products is also a very big limitation. But now  there is a holographic micro battery come out. This ultra thin battery is different from the traditional batteries with only 10 microns thickness. In fact, researchers and major companies have been a long time dedicated to the next generation of the development of new battery technology, and this new holographic micro-battery is very worthy of attention.The engineer teams of Illinois University show the prototype of the battery, its width is only 2 mm, thickness of only 10 microns. This cell's area is ​​only 4 mm2, while only 12% performance degradation.The researchers said that this battery can be able to integrate ...

In the past few years, 3D printing technology has quietly come to our side, and we have been able to see the use of 3D printing technology created some amazing products. Because 3D technology impress us that has been using 3D technology to print a variety of items for the past 10 years. Now, it's been a reality to be able to  print batteries by using 3D printing technology. In the past years, 3D printing battery has caused many problems. However this can be achieved currently, new ink and 3D tool now makes printing lithium-ion battery a reality. Technology Review recently visited Jennifer Lewis, Harvard University materials scientist, to see her progress on a 3D printed batteries, although it is in the early stages, but it seems that we will not wait too long time until we print out a pair of battery . Lewis uses a technology, which uses a series of "functional inks can be cured into a battery and simple components, including electrodes, wires and antennas." These ing...

A lawsuit that alleged Apple violated non-compete clauses after it hired five emplyees from A123 System have been settled by Apple. A123 has agreed to abolish its complaint and abandon the appropriate to appeal, according to cloister abstracts filed Monday in the U.S. District Cloister for the District of Massachusetts. The agreement of the adjustment are confidential. The companies aloft the achievability of clearing the case in March. At that time, Apple asked the cloister for added time to acknowledge to A123's motions back it was "exploring abeyant resolution of this matter," according to cloister filings. Last month, Apple and A123 said in addition cloister filing that they were abutting to a accord but bare addition borderline addendum to complete a final adjustment agreement. A123 sued Apple in February claiming it poached top aptitude from the Waltham, Massachusetts, aggregation to bureaucracy a array division. The batteries, A123 alleged, would be acclima...

Tesla announced today thatit will upgrade its line of home Powerwall batteries to more than double their initial output with the same price. According to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, this decision to boost the power output of the batteries followed some "negative" feedback after the Powerwall products were first announced. "We actually took some of the negative feedback to heart, and I'm happy to announce we've dramatically increased the power capability of the Powerwall," Musk told investors at the company's annual shareholders meeting in Mountain View, Calif. today. Musk said, the Powerwall batteries will go from having a two-kilowatt (kW) steady power output and 3.3kW peak output to a 5kW steady output and 7kW peak output. It will keep the same price of the batteries: $3,000 for the 7kW/hour (KWh) daily cycle version and $3,500 for the 10kWh backup UPS version. "The daily cycler is sort of more about economics or getting off the grid completely...

Energy It's not really a problem for me that the run out of my Apple Watch battery life. This is never an issue for me. But it doesn't mean that you shouldn’t know how to get more out of your battery. Here's what to do... Glances You should disable those snippets of information you get when you swipe your Apple Watch grab data from your iPhone. Although these information don't use too much energy, but just do so if you will need more battery life. Do so in My Watch>Glances, where you just need to tap the red minus button beside any less important apps. Notifications Turn off unwanted notifications – this makes sense because each new notification you receive will launch the Taptic Engine, which uses a little power to give you motion feedback. Limit notifications to only your most essential info in My Watch>Notifications where you can flick those you don’t need to mirror to off. Effects Reduce Transparency and use the Reduce Motion tool in My Watch...

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 o...
