Scientists Increase Capacity Li - ion Battery

Li- ion batteries are generally used for a wide variety of electronic devices , including cell phones . Scientists recently announced the development of the battery with twice the capacity of Li - ion usual .

Reported by Ubergizmo , Wednesday ( 12/04/2013 ) , one of the issues in the mobile device battery capacity is small . Thus, devices that consume battery power when used constantly can be quickly  exhausted .

Scientists work to ensure popular battery Li -ion has an increase in performance , capacity and charging time . The new breakthrough by scientists produces a Li / S which features double the capacity Li- ion battery .

The Li / S recently also touted more environmentally friendly by eliminating the bad minerals from the construction process . This is possible thanks to the hard work during the team at Berkeley Lab .

Battery developed by a team led by Elton Cairns enhances cell lithium / sulfur which can provide a longer life span . Initial tests showed that the cell Li / S Berkeley Lab could have an energy close to 500 Wh / kg , which is more than double compared to Li- ion cells . Not yet known when this type of battery will be mass produced .
