"Spirit of DC" takes in Legislative Breakfast & Awards in Phoenix at Arizona State Capitol on Tuesday, 16 February 2010
The EVent was honoring Arizona's military bases and civic leaders who have promoted clean fuels. The All American "Spirit of DC" was joined in PluginSolutions row by Todd Barlow's Green Motors' PHEV with 4kW lead acid battery pack and Phoenix Electric Auto Association President, Jim Stack's 10kW "Big Kahune" Li-ion pack, which is capable of a 30-40 all electric range, and clearly demonstrates the capability of 101MPG assisted by electricity. "Spirit of DC" setting up in front of the Arizona State Capitol Above "Spirit" joined by two more white PHEVs-- Todd Barlow's Green Motors' with 4kW PbA pack, above and right.

Firefly Lead Acid: More Possible PHEV Batteries
chose ordinary lead-acid (PbA) batteries for our PRIUS+ conversion because we could use them to prove what was possible. as the recipient of its 2006 Technology Innovation Award in the field of advanced lead acid battery technologies for developing an innovative graphite foam lead acid battery that could cause disruptive changes in the market.
Each The lead acid cell, a technology born in the 1850s, is reliable, safe We've been focusing on existing solutions because we believe today's NiMH and Li-Ion batteries, in mass production, are technically and economically more than adequate for PHEVs now.

Welsh University forms battery partnership
The University of Glamorgan will team with advanced material company Atraverda to produce a commercially viable bi-polar lead-acid battery.
The partnership was announced at the UK’s first Advanced Bi-polar Battery Development research facility where the partners stated their work could lead to lead-acid batteries that are up to 40 per cent lighter, 20 per cent smaller and yet have 40 per cent more energy capacity and twice the lifespan of traditional lead-acid batteries.
The technology has the potential to be used in a number of applications including the development of both hybrid and electric vehicles.

Measuring State-of-Charge on Lead Acid Batteries
Since I'm still waiting on parts from ElectroAuto, I decided to take the plunge and do some extensive research on Lead-Acid battery technology. Given that I'm using lead-acid technology, one of the big challenges is knowing just how much charge is left in the batteries so I don't run them down below 20% SOC (or state-of-charge). This turns out to be a very difficult problem because drawing current from lead-acid The 914 AC kit uses 8V golf cart batteries and I'm wondering if different batteries like Hawkers or Optima Yellow-Top batteries would be better.

Firefly Energy Receives Additional $3.3 Million Army Contract for Further Enhancement of Microcell Lead Acid Technology
Firefly’s microcell battery technology delivering 4-6 times the lifetime energy compared with traditional Valve Regulated Lead Acid (“VRLA”) batteries. The 3D technology replaces traditional lead acid battery negative lead metal electrodes with a three dimensional high surface area microcell foam negative electrode, that exploits the historically unrealized high power potential of lead acid chemistry.
Firefly Energy has signed a $3.3 million contract extension for continuing enhancement of its first two advanced battery technology designs.

University of Glamorgan and Atraverda to Partner on Bi-Polar Lead-Acid Batteries; Potential Application in Hybrid and Electric Vehicles
The University of Glamorgan (Wales) and Atraverda, an advanced material company that owns the intellectual property rights to a conductive ceramic known as Ebonex, are collaborating to produce a commercially viable bi-polar lead-acid battery. The partners say their work could lead to lead-acid batteries that are up to 40% lighter, 20% smaller, have 40% more energy capacity and twice the lifespan of traditional lead acid batteries. They made the announcement at the opening of the UK’s first Advanced Bi-polar Battery Development research facility.

CalCars' PRIUS+ Plug-In Hybrid
We now have three working converted prototypes (both described in Fact Sheet above, shown in photos and here ): The Calcars first proof-of-concept: (100+ mpg plus electricity, 10-mile electric range, now with temporary lead-acid battery pack, soon to be replaced by nickel metal-hydride batteries). Two EDrive/EnergyCS prototypes: (100+ mpg plus electricity, 30-mile range, with lithium-ion batteries. We believe that converting a small number of Priuses is the quickest, most cost-effective way to get people talking about PHEVs viability and benefits -- and support other PHEV

Electric Car Makers: Oregon Wants You - Green Inc. Blog - NYTimes.com
The huge hill of used batteries represents a major problem with the toxic acid and lead inside. at least, the recycling infrastructure for the well-established lead-acid batteries is robust. lead-acid batteries have a far better recycling rate than even aluminum bottles — over 90% of lead-acid batteries are recycled.

China Reclassifies New-Energy Vehicles
The three categories include start-up technology, which is still at the research level such as fuel cell vehicles; developing technologies, such as hybrid engines using lithium-ion batteries; and mature technologies which have achieved standardized mass production, such as lead-acid battery hybrid vehicles.
Automakers are allowed to begin mass production of vehicles with developing energy technologies but vehicle sales are still subject to certain conditions. Currently, only hybrid passenger vehicles with nickel-metal hydrogen or lead-acid batteries and electric vehicles
