Not exact matches

Mr Musk said the carmaker had reduced the amount of cobalt in its Nickel - Cobalt - Aluminium battery cells produced by Panasonic below rival battery companies who use a different chemistry.Korean battery companies such as LG Chem and Samsung SDI, who produce Nickel - Manganese - Cobalt batteries, are expected to commercialise a lower - cobalt battery chemistry by next year.

While it is certainly great at charging lipos, you can also use it for batteries with different chemistries.

The basic concept should work with many different chemical compositions for the different parts of the battery, he says, but «we chose to demonstrate it with one particular chemistry, one that we understood from previous work.

Manthiram said he is also investigating other battery chemistries, like lithium - sulfur and sodium - ion, which use different materials and offer their own advantages.

«This opens a broad window into many different topics in electrochemistry, including sodium - ion batteries, lithium - sulfur batteries, multiple ion chemistries involving zinc and magnesium, or even electroplating and electrochemical synthesis; we just have not fully explored them yet.»

Batteries of different ages, or with different chemistries and internal surface areas will perform differently (and nor would you want to completely discharge a car battery, as they are not meant for «deep cycling»).

Unfortunately this is not the case... Not only the plug is different, but also charging voltage / current, the chemistry of the batteries and thus the charging method etc..

But given that cobalt isn't necessary to LI tech — as stated in the article Killian linked, the Chinese auto giant BYD for instance uses a different chemistry for its cathodes, and so doesn't need cobalt for its batteries — lithium seemed to me a better choice for our purposes here.

We had in fact encouraged GM to start with a lower - range vehicle to use smaller, cheaper, or different chemistry batteries.
