Long In Development, Toshiba 'SCiB' Battery Debuts

Posted by kdawson on from the could-be-the-one dept.

relliker notes Toshiba's announcement of the SCiB, a battery we have been following for years. (As usual, use NoScript to avoid the incredibly annoying timed begging popup on Gizmag's site.) Here is Toshiba's SCiB site. The battery's specs claim 6,000+ charge/deep-discharge cycles with minor capacity loss, safe rapid charging to 90% in 5 minutes, and enhanced safety regarding overheating or shorting out. It could make its way into electric vehicles before long.

    Is Toyota really involved or do all Japanese companies look the same to you?

    Doesn't that depend on the speed of the battery?
