Industry study finds lead-acid to remain most wide-spread automotive energy storage for foreseeable future; new chemistries continue to grow

Green Car Congress

Advanced lead-based batteries (AGM and EFB technologies) are installed to meet extra requirements in start-stop and basic- micro-hybrid vehicles, due to their increased charge recoverability and higher deep-cycle resistance. In full-hybrid vehicles, the stored energy is also used for a certain range of electric driving.

Bosch reaches one million Start-Stop systems on the road

Green Cars News

The Bosch system features a powerful electric starter motor, as well as enhanced meshing mechanics, which guarantee a safe, fast, and quiet engine start. This ensures that the engine is only stopped if the battery has stored enough energy to start the engine again quickly. New alternator series for even greater fuel savings.

PNNL study outlines requirements for grid storage, reviews four electrochemical energy storage systems: vanadium redox flow, Na-beta, Li-ion and lead-carbon

Green Car Congress

EES is already an established, valuable approach for improving the reliability and overall use of the entire power system (generation, transmission, and distribution [T&D]). In addition, it can provide services to solve more localized power quality issues and reactive power support. The need for storage.

Axion supplying PbC batteries to Norfolk Southern for all-battery switcher and working on line-haul hybrid locomotives; micro-hybrid and stationary expansion

Green Car Congress

In April, Axion Power International Inc received an order from Norfolk Southern Corp (NS) for PbC lead-carbon batteries for use in an all-battery-powered switcher locomotive. This larger, more powerful unit will require approximately twice the number of batteries as contained in the electric yard switcher. Source: NS.
