Tier 1 HELLA evaluating PowerGenix NiZn batteries for 48V mild hybrid vehicles

Green Car Congress

PowerGenix, the developer of nickel-zinc (NiZn) rechargeable batteries ( earlier post ), has signed a product evaluation contract with HELLA, a Tier 1 supplier to major automotive manufacturers worldwide. Nickel-zinc batteries are chemically very similar to nickel-cadmium, NiCd. The nickel-zinc cell delivers more than 0.4V

Microporous polymer material for supercapacitors with large capacitance, high energy and power densities and excellent cycle life

Green Car Congress

Supercapacitors work on a different charge-storage principle than rechargeable batteries, and consist of electrochemical double layers on electrodes, which are wetted by an electrolyte. When a voltage is applied, ions of opposite charge collect on both electrodes to form wafer-thin zones of immobilized charge carriers.

Fast charging. charging for 40 minutes, that can make the battery complete. The actual specific capacity is low, with poor electrical conductivity, slow diffusion of lithium ions, and high times when charging and discharging. Emergency mobile EV charging system for providing mobile charging services. Scope of use.
