Japan produce Qi Chun fuel cell vehicle innovation speed records

North Central German Nurburgring circuit because of the rugged track and Ai Feier region famous for changing weather. But it is this dangerous weather survival of the local environment is an incredible, staged a rapid miracle. This time, the creators of a miracle from Nissan Qi Chun fuel cell vehicle (X-TRAIL FCV). In the wet track, Ki-jun fuel cell vehicles in the last 11 minutes 58 seconds of the results, setting similar models in the fastest lap of the track record compaq battery.

Despite this, chief of the 20.8 km of track has been slippery road because of the competition has become very difficult, from “Nissan Nurburgring 24-hour team” driver Frank Eickgholt the technical skill with a leap obstacles and eventually create a wonder . After Eickholt sigh Road, open feeling than the electric vehicles to freely imagine a much simpler, Ki-jun speed or faster staggering. Without the runway is too wet, I have the ability to save the corners from 30 to 40 seconds of time.

The five fuel cell-Qi Jun, its power source (6.70,0.08,1.21% point) in a group of hydrogen battery stored in a high-pressure Guanli the electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen by the currents, water vapor is in The process of moving the only by-product. Since 2006, the model started in Japan and Canada through the market test. Official data show that its maximum speed of 150 km, travelling 500 kilometers, the maximum power of 88 kilowatts, the maximum torque of 280 cattle meters.

India edge of the solar photovoltaic industry chain manufacturing equipment localization

   August 2007 has just put into operation module SolarSemiconductor also plans to increase production. Although the annual production capacity has reached 30 MW, but due to very high demand, the company’s decision in 2008 in one stroke to increase production capacity to 130 MW, and existing factories located in central India’s Hyderabad (Hyderabad) acquisition of the The new factory site.

SolarSemiconductor the major markets in North America and Europe, therefore, the company also planned adjacent to the North American market in the construction of new factories in Mexico. Mexico plant with an annual output capacity of the module for the 60 MW, available in mid-2008. In addition to North America and Europe, the plant will also expand sales of products to South America. SolarSemiconductor the current production of the module as a business centre, aims to establish a brand in the near future. To further expand the scale of the company’s future will also be involved in operations outside the module.

Not only well-funded enterprises to accelerate production of new, old solar cell manufacturers attitude has been positive. Tata BP Solar is scheduled for 2010 to achieve an annual output capacity of 300 MW, while 1999 would also create the MaharishiSolar Technology production capacity from the current 2.5 MW to 40 MW.

MaharishiSolarTechnology Chennai plant is currently being carried out from the wafer, the production unit to the module. In addition, in order to compensate for the lack of silicon, the plant will be commissioned polysilicon materials. Before the end of 2008, the company will build a production capacity of 100 tons of polysilicon materials production equipment, when the unit and a module production capacity will be increased to 40 MW. To tie in with the production, MaharishiSolarTechnol-ogy will gradually increase the production capacity of modules and modules. In addition, the film silicon solar cells and related projects are also under development. At present, the company is working with Applied Materials and other manufacturing equipment makers to consult.

As solar cells and other electronic components manufacturer - the cornerstone of manufacturing equipment manufacturers have been in power savings. India’s manufacturing equipment manufacturers HHV since its inception in 1965, to a vacuum device as the center and several manufacturing facilities in India to fill the gaps. Of these, the major solar cell manufacturing equipment in 1997, pyramid-solar cell modules, the 2001 film silicon solar cell trial production installations and in 2005 the magnetron sputtering, etc..

HHV in 2008 also opened up a new business, Applied Materials and by promoting the love of the solar cell production line package operations. HHV provided with an annual output of 7 MW of silicon thin film solar cell production lines, the price of 750 million to 8 million U.S. dollars, less than other manufacturing equipment manufacturers half the price.

This film silicon solar cell production line in the lamination machine, plasma CVD devices and magnetron sputtering, by the HHV companies to manufacture, and cleaning equipment, laser-designated devices are planned by other Indian companies the OEM (original equipment manufacturers To).

To make up for past film silicon solar cells in the area of less than, HHV in December 2007 set up a film silicon solar cell manufacturing subsidiaries, affiliates will HHV location of the headquarters and factory building solar cell factory in Bangalore, the date scheduled for commissioning in 2008 September.

Magical Effect of low-cost lithium batteries used to power digital cameras

     Many digital cameras use batteries to power on the 5th. Although ordinary batteries everywhere on the 5th can buy, very convenient. However, because digital cameras are major energy-consuming, especially before the old product, even one pair of very good quality of the new ordinary batteries, the front of a long time.

Therefore, some users on the 5th nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries. Although nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries can be recycled many times, but also its great capacity, single capacity to reach more than 2400 mAh, nor the cost of your long-term use. But on the 5th nickel-metal hydride rechargeable ibm ThinkPad T42 battery rated at only 1. 2V, two series with only 2. 4V, lower than the digital cameras rated voltage of 3 V. Even on the 5th nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries fully adequate, in the circumstances, each of the battery voltage is not more than one. 40V. In this way, in the process of using the camera, as the battery voltage drop (each less than 1. 2V), although at this time nickel-metal hydride rechargeable battery power is still very adequate, but because the battery voltage below the camera’s rated voltage More digital cameras will be prompted to “inadequate electricity” or “battery has been exhausted” and automatic shutdown.

Well, digital cameras usesony PCGA-BP2T battery on the 5th, is there better alternatives? »The answer is yes, there! This is the variety of brands of imported second-hand on the 5th of large-capacity lithium battery.

I used the sony VGP-BP71 digital cameras, is to use second-hand on the 5th of lithium batteries for power, good effect, ultra-low cost. By the author of “electronic” ads, spend 20 yuan (six yuan except for postage), the order of the two “on the 5th Sony high-capacity lithium battery,” the paper labelled above the SIEMENS (Siemens). The toshiba PA3384U-1BRS battery  pack by three 3. 6V / 600mAh lithium batteries on the 5th of the series composition, with charging protection board. Open plastic, each battery can be 3 3. 6V / 600mAh lithium batteries of the 5th. This need to connect with scissors cut the three batteries with the metal plate and charging protection, appropriate dressing the battery cathode the metal, making it into the round as a battery cathode. The battery did not convex first cathode, is the first level, the cathode metal Wei Tu, this does not affect the normal use.

As digital camera battery positions, are usually placed two on the 5th of the ibm ThinkPad R40 battery . Add to now only a 3. 6V / 600mAh of the 5th lithium batteries, circuit not connected. Therefore, to be in another position in the battery into a no power on the 5th of dry batteries, this section only when the old batteries with wires to make the camera work properly. When the wire with the old batteries, the batteries need is the negative short-to才行, the battery to make a fuss about one end of the copper cap, with metal wire or solder copper and zinc cylinder apparatus connected to. Leakage can not be used all the hp Pavilion DV1000 battery  on the 5th yo! Add to the battery when the battery must pay attention to the positive and negative polarity, should never take the anti-yo.

This will damage the digital camera ah!

Some people may ask: 3. 6V / 600mAh single on the 5th of the lithium battery voltage, digital cameras than the rated voltage, full of power after a higher voltage, 4. 2V, it will not be damaged digital camera »Do not worry, please be assured use! General in the internal digital camera, a voltage regulator circuit design, the voltage to a certain extent, it will not damage the digital camera!

There are practical ability of friends, from the battery pack can be removed to the charge of the protection board, installed in a cheap battery charger on the 5th (of the need for welding iron, need to understand that electronic technology, no practical ability of friends, Can ask others to help Nonghao), used to on the 5th of lithium batteries.

This. A very cheap digital camera battery on the 5th of substitutes on the cause of the. Fully charged, three (or six) turns alternating the use of battery, even if you Chuyuan Men take pictures, but also the adequacy!

Finally, you can shoot you would like to have such cheap digital cameras on the 5th battery substitutes! Using your digital camera sold for more updated picture of good, exciting moment in the life and become eternal!

main reason of battery expansion

       Different types of batteries, have the reasons for the expansion is not the same as, for the reasons for the expansion of rechargeable toshiba PA3191U-1BRS battery are:
 1. Bad battery protection circuit

2. Battery without protection in toshiba PA3166U-1BRS battery expansion

3. Chargers bad performance, rechargeable battery causing excessive current expansion

4. By the high-rate toshiba PA3331U-1BRS battery for a large current charge

5. Battery design their own problems, may also appear this is the case

General cell toshiba Satellite A75 battery expansion of the main reasons are:

a, raw materials impure

b, electrolyte precipitation

c, storage and humid

Classification of notebook batteries

     About the type of notebook battery is divided into four types: nickel-cadmium batteries (Ni-Cd), nickel-metal hydride batteries (Ni-MH), lithium-ion battery (LiB) and lithium-polymer battery (LiP).

     Nickel-cadmium, nickel-hydrogen batteries once widely used in notebook above, the biggest advantage is its storage capacity, and therefore have more energy, but compared with lithium batteries there is still a lot of shortcomings: First of all, charging a long time and had to use Digital camera AA batteries will also experience the impression of a friend, even with rapid charger, nickel-hydrogen battery charging time is also great to 6-8 hours. Secondly, there are some memory effect, this means that, in order to maximize the extended battery life, every time necessary to complete the battery in the shine of electricity can be conducted under a single charge. Lithium-ion batteries are now commonly used battery in the highest energy density of batteries, the unit capacity than the nickel-metal hydride batteries to high-1 / 3 more than self-discharge rate is very low. And lithium-ion battery “memory effect” very weak, and non-toxic materials.

     But lithium-ion batteries are also quite a number of shortcomings, the ordinary lithium battery charging less than the number of 1000, and prices high.

     In addition to the current individual laptop battery are still using old-fashioned nickel-metal hydride and nickel cadmium batteries, the vast majority of notebook batteries used ordinary lithium-ion batteries, and lithium-polymer battery in some high-end thin and light notebook used.

Recently, who lives in Huangyan the fourth grade primary school students have a little trouble name of Xinshi. He “accumulate” under section 100 of the waste batteries, he doesn’t know how to deal with.

Normally, Yang has also heard that “at the disposal of scrap batteries, the environment pollution.” He recorded in the heart, not to an arbitrary Rengguo waste batteries. Down over time, the deposit of waste batteries has more than 100 foot section. “With so many of waste batteries, the place to find a ‘resettlement’ them!” He can really do not know where the delivery.

Finally, when he took the entire nylon bag of scrap sony laptop battery  to the recycle bin time, he was told that because he collected most of the batteries are low mercury or mercury-free batteries of the one-time, no longer need to dispose of technology, like other garbage can Like the landfill will be out.

To this end, the reporter visited Taizhou nearly 10 large, medium and small supermarkets, to see all the supermarket counter sale of apple laptop battery , in addition to some of the special cell phones, most of a one-time low of mercury or mercury-free batteries. But reporters found through the investigation, including sales staff, most of the consumers of mercury-free batteries relative lack of knowledge, its logo, abandoned after the collection and disposal so that “doesn’t notice.”

“Mercury-free batteries have been in the market circulation of more than three years.” Xiao Yang also with anguish, the reporter interviewed a special City Environmental Protection Bureau of Solid Waste Management Centre Steven ground technical staff, he told reporters, the state has promulgated the policy provides that ” At present the lack of an effective recovery of the technology, not to encourage countries to focus on the collection have low mercury or mercury-free requirements of the one-time scrap batteries, abandoned battery recycling waste should be the focus of rechargeable batteries and button cell. “

Only the thumb size! Toshiba’s latest fuel cell exposure

  Toshiba released pull the world’s smallest fuel cell - only about thumb size. toshiba laptop battery life of the mixture of hydrogen and oxygen to provide electricity, and the Apollo moon-landing plan used in the power supply is the same.

Toshiba’s Sean Collins said: notebooks will be designed for large batteries to provide a longer life time. The use of fuel-cell laptop on a single charge can use 10 hours.

Toshiba’s previous generation of fuel cells is methanol used as raw materials. The use of the laptop fuel cell output was 12 watts, up to 20 watts. Monolithic batteries can be used as long as five hours. That, of battery in the March 03 in Hannover, Germany CeBIT show held once appearance.

Laptop battery life extension in 2010 will reach eight hours

The new battery technology may laptop battery life extended to more than five hours to 2010 laptop battery life can reach eight hours. 

Intel Mobile Platforms Group Anand Chandrasekher, general manager of the Intel Developer Conference, said that when we talk about people with mobile computing problems, people think the most need of improvement is battery life. However, technically, to provide a longer battery life is very difficult.  Chandrasekher briefly introduced to improve the battery life of three ways: reduce the chip’s power consumption; optimize the power supply in the system using the new battery chemistry technology to raise the battery capacity.  He said, there are two types of chemical materials to improve battery performance. The first one is the development of the company Pionics lithium polymer technology. Such technologies, including the improvement of the anode and cathode materials.

However, it is not on the technology, more detailed information. The second is the ZMP (Zinc Matrix Power) has developed a technology. The company developed a rechargeable alkaline zinc batteries, to charge 500 times.  Can charge 10 times the production of zinc alkaline acer battery is a very difficult. Its original two, zinc oxide is the first in alkaline electrolyte very easily dissolved. Zinc is the second in charge at the same voltage easily broken down into hydrogen and oxygen to water.  General of what happened when the charge is decentralized, zinc anode also will be dissolved, and then, when the battery recharging, zinc anode will change the shape of a needle in the anode above the sediment .

Such as the tree grain sediment, after several charge will accumulate more after the breakdown of the insulation, causing short-circuit.  ZMP has introduced a zinc / mixed plastic materials, can significantly slow down the tree crystal formation. This material is also separated from hydrogen to solve the problem. The company said production using this technology than the same size battery capacity rechargeable lithium battery twice, the use of lithium battery is six times.  ZMP president and CEO Skip Zeller explained that the company has been in the laboratory so that the batteries 1000. And lithium batteries difference is that the battery charge in half the time, can also work very well. This function is very good, because the battery is fully charged to often need a night time. This rechargeable batteries need only one hour can use six hours.  Intel’s Chandrasekher also announced extended battery life notebook PCs Working Group launched the third ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) standards. However, he said, the industry also needs to further cooperation

Battery maintenance and proper use of skills

Laptop battery can be said to be the most important notebook computer power source. No batteries to provide energy, will not be able to complete the mobile office of the special requirements. Then our hands most of the notebooks can only be a mobile PC only. The laptop battery maintenance and use of skills has become a headache for the majority of consumers most things. Now in use and maintenance of laptop batteries on this issue has been the opinion, the author now with their experience and advice of a Taiwan notebook brand of customer service engineers after the battery use and maintenance of the situation in this respect do a simple, And in-depth discussions will be friends in the laptop battery maintenance and day-to-day use in a number of errors to do some corrections, hopes to help our friends. However, the limited level, the article also hope that if omissions friend Hoi-ham!

A. It was sold in the batteries for notebooks after more than three times the continuous 12-hour rechargeable battery, to prevent “memory effect”

First ask a very idiotic problem: my friends have mobile phones it » Many of my friends in the use of mobile phones will consciously or unconsciously in accordance with the businessmen or others advise to do one thing, is to buy back the phone after the first three batteries are necessary and sufficient to 12 hours of electricity, and then, exhausted, and so only after further Filling. Reason to worry about their friends because the cell phone battery “memory effect,” memory effect is long battery cycle through specific work, automatically maintain this particular trend. So every time someone said that if only 50 to charge the battery % Of the time to get started, then the memory effect after the battery will charge the next time is sufficient to only 50 percent of the time on the “do not get the filling.” In fact, this “memory effect” that is the nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride batteries, lithium-ion laptop batteries, the memory effect is almost negligible.

With the gradual improvement of the manufacturing process, lithium-ion rechargeable battery, such as the constant current of its deep-charging time control in four hours, there is no need to recharge the batteries of mobile phones get laptop batteries Of notebook battery, a charge on every dormant for two weeks or a month’s time, the laptop battery will conduct a depth of discharge, the term sounds a bit scary, in fact, is to use battery-powered, and then did not directly use the computer, automatically Off it. However, the number of deep discharge should not be too frequent.

B, using the AC adapter when the battery should be unloaded first, to avoid the batteries “explosive charge”

Currently used in notebook market lithium-ion batteries can be completed 300-600 (some data that can be more) of the charge and discharge process, we can calculate the, now on the market for sale Centrino models of battery life for the general official data for more than 5-6 hours, the Pentium 4 models battery life time for three hours, then to lithium-ion rechargeable battery discharge 600 as the standard, its notebook batteries can use long Time can be calculated by. Some friends in the use of the AC adapter when the battery down from his concern that if the battery inside left more power, the AC adapter plug on the results start charging, the battery of his wasted a so-called ” Number of charge cycles. ” In fact, this worry is unnecessary, because the laptop battery power can not be 100 percent sure of the state, using an AC adapter is certainly the time to complete the charging. But now many manufacturers of notebook computers are designed a battery protection measures, such as IBM’s notebook in power only less than 95 percent of the time before a charge, but not absolute, some did not rely entirely on the design capacity of the notebook OEM manufacturers In this regard may also some weaknesses. If you really pained own battery, it may wish to remove come!

Battery explosion of the risk of small things. But not absolute no, lithium-ion battery inside of lithium batteries, and they have a control board and management to complete the charge and discharge, if this control circuit some of the features of the original loss of the sensitivity of direct or failure will not be effective Current control, internal batteries temperature increases lead to the explosion. The internal battery or batteries will be a short-circuit in the explosion. But now the market is good that the notebooks are based on foreign high-quality batteries or directly buying other people’s batteries, a relatively better quality. The domestic part of the lithium-ion battery manufacturers are also more foreign imports and the batteries manufactured. So is an old saying that sentence, in the selection of notebooks, as many as possible ready to consider some budget products maker, correct.

C, battery life time did not meet official standards, certainly battery problems

Buy notebook all the friends will worry about this problem. Indeed, with Centrino notebook technology makes the birth of access to longer battery standby time possible. There are even manufacturers of notebook computers even more marked on a 10 hour “battery life standard.” In fact, this is just a grab the attention of consumers advertising only. Most laptop batteries are not achieve the so-called “official standards”, maybe my friends will recall that Asustek’s energy-saving technology patents Power 4 Gear technology (also upgraded version of Power 4 Gear +), known as M6 series of books will be battery life Extended to 5.5 hours, but Asustek’s sales staff told the author of the books of the time battery life for three hours about it. Of course the other hand, battery life for the manufacturing process is not our consumers can solve. So when the time did not have battery life, “the official battery life standards” when friends not surprised, not so long because of the use of time is a normal (if your notebook battery life time to reach the official standard, then please do not Paizhuan, I said that the majority of books).

Friends if the battery standby time has reached less than “the official standard battery life,” then we can through a number of ways to extend the:

1, 25 ℃ ~ 40 ℃ the use of standard external environment, the use of lithium-ion batteries can be best achieved if the temperature is too high, Not only their own laptop computers or even slow down the speed crashes, and the battery in this environment will also affect the efficiency of its use. So as far as possible in the indoor environment using a laptop.

2, not commonly used to disable the equipment. Peacetime use of battery power when the best do not need to temporarily disable the interface are out, such as wireless card, printer port, infrared interface, 1394 FireWire interface, and so on, will not waste a lot of battery power, the specific method is ” Control Panel “-” system “- the” hardware “-” Device Manager “of the disabled to find their own equipment, then click on” inactive “on the need to use the time to” enable equipment “, is very simple. After the use of banned performance quite obviously, can save a lot of electricity.

3, reduce internal power consumption. Increasing the CPU speed, high-speed drives will bring a lot of energy consumption and increase the heat. Therefore, no special requirements, or the best use of the system or third-party software to control the speed drive, do not open too many windows and procedures in order to avoid CPU overload of work, so not only can reduce the battery power consumption, and can also reduce powder Hot, “Qiu Laohu” there is a season, it still has some advantages.

D, start-up rechargeable batteries for notebook very harmful

Boot charging in the end there are no victims » I once saw a Gemen boot my phone is charging, and then from that one: wow! You even dare to start-up charge, you are not afraid of battery explosion! » Although a joke, it reflects the many friends of the use of errors. In a notebook, before the design is, if some models now use battery-powered, then even if the AC adapter plug, books or the use of battery-powered, which is “sufficient and do not get” the phenomenon of today’s notebook computers are not so In the design of the danger, when the plug in the AC adapter, external power supply immediately and to begin to charge the battery. So now there is no need to recharge the shutdown.

E, long battery not casually placed on the side

This problem users are often overlooked. But this issue from time to small, and I talk to the engineers told reporters notebook, many notebook manufacturers on the proposed user in control of the battery power more than five percent of this approach is to remove the electrode passivation, because laptop battery factory in The time has already begun the slow self-discharge (activate the battery in the workshop on the matter has been completed, we do not need to worry about), a notebook may be in default six months after the purchase of consumers, and the battery has a six-month discharge The. I suggested to my friends here is the long-term if not used battery-powered AC adapter, the best laptop batteries to stay on 40 percent - 50 percent of them - more than self-discharge, if there is no electricity, then let the battery - , It is easy to problems or even scrapped. You want to, ah, self-discharge is certainly to take, but not inside it - you put what, ah, no problem Caiguai!

There is a need to pay attention to the question: if no long-term battery-powered and powered by an AC adapter (for example students), put the battery in a cool dry place such as cabinets. This approach was to avoid the humid environment, and if not, the best books of the battery and placed separately, do not believe we bought the phone and look at the books of attention, businesses are not separated from the cells and placed the

F, the Dead but there is no way to pull the battery

I have seen some friends before machines can not be normal shutdown of the phenomenon, or even shut down illegal not feasible to Guai Jiuguai the great “fainted dead” system! Finally on the big brother who directly to a two Duojiao eyes closed a three to pull the battery, only heard on the books Yishengcanjiao closed. In fact, this approach is very harmful, because they stand in the state, and the memory is the power, if hasty directly from the battery down, loss of data is inevitable, not in the AC adapter into the time for battery This can only harm is no benefit

Apple to recall 28,000pcs laptop batteries

Last weekend, the company announced the details of the “cell” recall plan, which involved 28,000 notebook computer batteries.  It is understood that the August 19, Apple agreed with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s request, decided to recall 28,000 15-inch PowerBook G4 laptop battery use. The notebook computer batteries by South Korea’s LG Chemical Co., Ltd. production, which will appear in the use of overheating, a serious fire risk. The problem batteries for sale since January this year, the Apple laptop. Battery models for the A1045, with serial numbers HQ404, HQ405, HQ406, HQ407 and the beginning HQ408. Apple Chinese companies already in its official website announced the details of the replacement, to notify customers free replacement battery
