Up until now, Li-ion batteries have been considered to exhibit no “memory effect”—a deviation in the voltage of the battery resulting from repeated charging after being only partially discharged that can limit the usability of the stored energy as well as the ability to determine the state of charge of the battery reliably.

Pellion Technologies, a startup commercializing magnesium-ion battery technology ( earlier post ), announced an investment by Motorola Solutions. Because magnesium is divalent, it can displace double the charge per ion (i.e., Mg 2+ rather than Li + ). As an element, magnesium is much more abundant than lithium, and more stable.

Currently, India is importing 100% of lithium-ion batteries from China, Europe, the US and Japan. There are two types of batteries widely used in India at present is the lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries. The more energy can be stored in the battery, the lighter the battery pack lighter will be the electric car.
