Matsushita Readies Safer Lithium-ion Batteries

malware · Dec 18, 2006

Matsushita Electric Industrial today announced that one of its subsidiaries, Matsushita Battery Industrial(MBI) is now ready to mass produce a new type of lithium-ion battery, which incorporates new technology improving safety. According to MBI, its new technology improves safety by forming a heat resistance layer (HRL) consisting of an insulating metal oxide on the surface of the electrodes. Even if a short-circuit occurs in these batteries, it will cease without causing the battery to overheat, instead of overheating and even burning in standart lithium-ion batteries. Matsushita currently holds 119 patents.

Who cares about safety? How about making a battery that lasts a while... that's what people really want.

Yeh, I'd rather have a battery which lasts 4hrs and then explodes in my pants than a battery which lasts 3hrs and doesn't explode! :shadedshun:

Way to go MBI! Safer batteries are always welcome since you can then use them in other areas of your daily work.
Like, it will be 'safe again' (*glares at sony batteries*) to use notebooks on planes and also electric cars and hybrids will be safer
