Lithium ( pronounced /ˈlɪθiəm/ ) is a chemical element with the symbol Li and atomic number 3. It is a soft alkali metal with a silver-white color.
Rechargeable lithium-based batteries power most of our electronic devices from cell phones to iBooks, not to mention the very popular iPods. As everyone knows, most of these rechargeable batteries are not cheap. It is actually more economical to learn right from the beginning the proper steps in extending the life of the battery. Nissan’s Mixim , their electric concept car, has doors that open upwards, runs on lithium batteries, and has two electric ’super motors’ - one front and one rear. Its a space-age design; like something out of a Hollywood movie set. Powered by a lithium-polymer battery and equiped with two cameras, the 5-lb. SkySeer can be used for police search-and-rescue missions, as well as scouting forest fires and tracking migratory animals. The plane in this picture above is the first manned flight powered by a hydrogen fuel cell from aviation history. The Technology Europe team in Madrid, Spain, and Boeing Research modified a two-seat Dimona motor-glider and installed a hybrid propulsion system based on lithium-ion batteries and a a hydrogen fuel cell. Mercedes Benz claims that not only have they made significant progress with lithium-ion batteries, but have made a major breakthrough. As a result they are expecting to develop a fleet of electric powered vehicles. The lithium-ion batteries to be used in General Motors’ Chevrolet Volt electric car will soon be installed and tested in specially-equipped versions of the Chevrolet Malibu, the company said. Boeing Research & Technology Europe has flown a manned airplane powered by hydrogen fuel cells, a first in aviation history. A motor-glider was modified to include a PEM fuel cell/lithium-ion battery hybrid system, and has been flown 3 times over the past 2 months, at up to 3300 ft and 62 mph. Sandia National Lab researchers have been study the batteries, overcharging them, putting them into some of the most adverse conditions possible and heating them to extreme temperatures to observe how much abuse they can take before they blow up. Longer lasting, recyclable batteries due in laptops this summer. […] ZPower’s breakthrough is raising the number of times a silver zinc battery can be recharged to be comparable to lithium ion, research which took the company over a decade.
