Suvamoy Saha, MD, Eveready Industries, says expects maximum growth from the lighting and electrical segment that they entered much later than other two segments. We remain committed to growing this vertical at a pace much faster than the rest of the company. Due to the significant price erosion, we landed up with a low level …
Dead batteries could soon find a second lease on life thanks to a new chemical injection. One of the problems with lithium-ion batteries is that, over time, they slowly lose their charging efficacy, eventually becoming useless. However, a new battery revival injection could help reduce waste and make replacing batteries as often a thing of …
Wouldn’t it be cool if you never had to charge your cell phone? I’m sure that’s what a lot of people were thinking recently, when a company called BetaVolt said it had developed a coin-sized “nuclear battery” that would last for 50 years. Is it for real? Yes it is. Will you be able to …

Extending the useful life of EV batteries mitigates the impact of manufacturing them, said Maria Chavez, energy analyst at the Union of Concerned Scientists. “The whole point of trying to deploy electric vehicles is to reduce emissions and reduce the negative impacts of things like manufacturing and extractive processes on our environment and our communities,” …
It’s important to recognize the head start that China, and to some extent South Korea, has. It will take a little time to build up the scale and the supply chains and get them as efficient as they are working in China today. Most batteries are used in EVs right now. What comes next? Right …
In lithium-ion batteries, that’s no longer the case. Modern batteries are capable of reading their state no matter their level of charge, and when your device isn’t in use the strain on the battery is almost the same as if it was off altogether, so you wouldn’t be giving the battery much of a break …
There’s also growing concern about fires started by e-bikes in New York City. These fires, which can be deadly, have mostly been caused by bikes that aren’t repaired correctly or use substandard batteries, highlighting the need for regulation and tight quality control of batteries. What it comes down to is this: lithium-ion batteries can catch …
Today, lithium-ion batteries are the default choice to store energy in devices from laptops to electric vehicles. The cost of these kinds of batteries has plummeted over the past decade, but there’s a growing need for even cheaper options. Solar panels and wind turbines only produce energy intermittently, and to keep an electrical grid powered …
BERLIN — Consider this a final warning for Europe’s car industry. The IAA motor show gets up and running in Munich on Monday, but rather than purring Mercedes engines and silhouettes of sleek new Porsches wrapped under sheets of crisp satin cloth, the spotlight will be on Tesla and China’s insurgent all-electric brands. After a …
