Simplifying Gadgets and Technology, is my passion!
The biggest change lies in the anode—the part of the battery that stores and releases electrons during charging. Traditional lithium-ion batteries use graphite here, but silicon-carbon batteries replace it with a silicon-infused anode. Why? Because […]
Bottom line is, you really cannot trust ad hoc online or flea market sellers (and neither Facebook Marketplace sellers). As shown in this video, even 500+ “positive” reviews really mean nothing at all. That online […]
More and more devices now come kitted out with rechargeable lithium-ion batteries — you know, the ones that look like the old-style AA or C cell batteries, but are a slightly different size. The most […]
I’ve long been using various types of rechargeable AA and AAA batteries, including the 1.5 volt versions, but I’ve just never seen any mention at all about these button/coin cell 3.6V Li-Ion batteries being rechargeable. […]
The exercise bike, dubbed HR Bank, was designed to provide urban dwellers with a reliable source of clean energy, but, perhaps more importantly, also for those in need of power during emergencies like natural disasters […]
Well, if this is really true (Toyota is no new or small start-up) it is certainly going to tick all the major boxes remaining for EV batteries as far as economic requirements go. Ease of […]
The discovery could lead to new low-cost, long duration energy storage systems that can write fossil energy out of the picture by capturing wind and solar power for weeks, months, or even whole seasons. To […]
Gone are the days when we could easily take off the smartphone’s battery and replace it with a new one. You didn’t need a heat gun or a specialised tool to pop open the back […]
Sodium is also abundant, but unlike lithium, is readily available. Sodium — one of the primary components of table salt — is chemically similar to lithium, and thanks to the explosion in lithium carbonate prices, […]
This was quite interesting as I bought the identical Eco-Worthy battery monitor for my LiFePO4 battery. It’s true there is no lab quality benchmark being done to see if both of these are maybe wildly […]
