NEW TECHNOLOGY - LiFePO4 Batteries
Alevo says its lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries are the first to use an inorganic electrolyte based on sulfur, which prevents the chemical reactions that lead to heating, expansion and eventual failure for lithium-ion batteries.Alevo Unstealthed: A New Gigawatt-Scale Grid Battery Contender : Greentech Media
Test cells have lasted more than 40,000 cycles in “hammer tests” that completely discharge and then overcharge them over and over again, without significant degradation of performance, he said.
These are large scale batteries at the moment and are not planned for commercial scale, but the technology can eventually lead to new fronts on the PED scale Lithium Batteries. Something to watch!
