Lithium Battery and Hybrid cars

Lithium Battery and Hybrid cars


The New York Mercantile Exchange, August crude oil futures prices for delivery in July 3 145 U.S. dollars a barrel, the highest recorded. In this week, OPEC weekly average oil prices to new highs. In fact, for some time, high oil prices and the resulting series of political and economic and social issues deeply hurt the car manufacturer. In the United States, the three auto makers have cut production of large pickup trucks, SUV, increase energy-saving small cars or crossovers. However, changing the structure of existing products, while car manufacturers have already "obvious": before you have to master the technology of alternative energy vehicles.


"Battery is the core issue." General Motors R & D lab materials laboratory director Mark? Sheet Mubarak said. Have been successful experiences with a certain market hybrid car, the battery technology in deciding the fate of the car key. It is understood that currently includes the Toyota Prius (configuration parameters Gallery) models, including hybrid vehicles use nickel-metal hydride batteries. And the battery technology itself has limitations. Remove the price factors, on the one hand, the decision by the material limits the size of storage capacity, lack of capacity Ni-MH battery life, on the other hand, it can not be extrapolated charging.


Li-ion battery is a high voltage, charge and discharge, long life, fast charging, self-discharge rate, wide operating temperature range, etc., have become the most cars and parts enterprises and the main direction of choice. Data show that, compared to nickel-metal hydride batteries, hybrid electric vehicles using lithium batteries can make the weight decreased by 40% to 50% and the volume reduced by 20% to 30%, energy efficiency has improved to some extent. Optimistic forecast said that in the near future, the vehicle will decrease the cost of lithium batteries to nickel-metal hydride battery 2 / 3.
