Lithium-ion batteries now power everything from scooters to smoke detectors. But a recent survey by Erie Insurance found one ...

Shabbir Ahmed, assistant professor in South Dakota State University's Department of Mechanical Engineering, is conducting ...

However, Na-ion batteries have a lower energy density than lithium-ion batteries. In other words, they can store less power ...

This wave interacts with the lithium ions inside the battery, and depending on how those ions are distributed, the wave ...

Ship crews need mandatory training in fighting lithium-ion battery fires, and regulators need to create better standards, ...

For example, a regular lead-acid battery has an energy density of 30 to 50 watt hours per kilogram, while a Lithium-Ion battery can range anywhere from 50 to 260 watt hours per kilogram.

The Key West Fire Department reminds owners of electric-powered vehicles that, without using the right safety precautions, ...

Lithium iron phosphate (­LiFePO4) is the chemistry settled upon by most battery-makers. Past ­formulas included cobalt and manganese for lithium-ion batteries. Though powerful, they proved hazardous.

Inlyte Energy is reviving and scaling iron-sodium battery technology to create a safe, low-cost, and domestically sourced alternative to lithium-ion batteries for utility-scale storage.

The lithium-ion battery challenge. Lithium-ion batteries are increasingly used in electric vehicles, logistics warehouses, and small electric vehicles like e-scooters.
