The agreement also allows the supermarket’s customers free of charge before the end of this year charging facilities, its electric cars. However, the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the three businesses have agreed to work together in the future continue to provide free electric car charging service, and electric car drivers will be given further priority.

Electric car charging service to be extended to more people, the Seoul city government has with South Korea last year, the Transportation Security Administration signed an agreement to produce five kinds of high-speed electric vehicles.

One charge of this electric car can travel 180 km after the maximum speed of 150 kilometers per hour. Once South Korea Transportation Safety Board recognized that electric vehicles will be used to monitor and control the city’s air pollution Studio 1535 battery .

Leo motors develops improved EV battery management technology

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

Leo Motors, Inc. (Pink Sheets:LEOM) announced that it has developed a more innovative Battery Management System (BMS), to solve the safety and quick charging problems often experienced with Electric Vehicles (EVs).

Leo’s new BMS can charge at a current of up to 4C (4 times the rated capacity of the battery per hour). Existing BMS could only charge at a current of 0.5 C (half of the rated capacity of a battery per hour), For example, a 30 kW DELL battery power pack cannot charge more than 15kW per hour using existing BMS because the BMS can manage only half of the electric power per hour.  Using Leo’s new BMS, the power pack can be fully charged in about 15 minutes under a quick charging mode.

Another improvement of Leo’s new BMS is that the size of the BMS became 70% smaller than existing BMS. Leo intends to develop its technology further, making major parts of the BMS into silicon chip to further minimize the size and reduce the heat emitting from inside of the BMS. Leo also plans to develop its BMS technology to charge at a current of up to 12 C, which would allow a full charge in about 5 minutes .

Leo’s new BMS will be tested by battery manufacturers and EV manufacturers seeking a product dell Inspiron 1100 battery , dell Inspiron 1150 battery  or marketing opportunity. Dr. Robert Kang, CEO, stated, “Our BMS technology is the key to our Company’s continuing development, as it is the most crucial part in EV battery power packs, and is one of the most expensive parts in the entire vehicle.”

His discussion group is using this condenser plates in the solar energy into chemical energy of the “low carbon” technology research.

“Low-carbon economy” is a hot topic in the Copenhagen Climate Conference, before that, the Chinese government for the first time quantified the world public commitment to emission reduction targets, ThinkPad T60 battery the decision to per unit of GDP by 2020, greenhouse gas emissions below 2005 levels by 40% – 45%.

“Low-carbon economy” is essentially to reduce fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum use, as much as possible use of biomass energy, wind energy, solar energy. “Low-carbon economy” rely on technology to ensure implementation. This reporter learned that, in Wuhan University, active in a group engaged in “low carbon” technology experts and scholars, who use biomass, wind, solar and other aspects of the research has been getting better, in the promotion of high-carbon to the “low carbon” , “zero carbon” solid scientific research into the road.

Since 2003, Liu Jian discussion group trying to gather solar energy biomass carbon dioxide and the reaction of carbon monoxide as straw, will not only direct use of solar energy to biomass into gas carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide can also the process of turning sunlight into chemical energy, in order to achieve carbon dioxide recycling, save energy, increase energy, reduce emissions and protect the environment of multiple effects . The process has been completed a small simulation experiment is under way to expand testing.

Liu Jian, China’s annual production of straw is only about 11 million tons, all of them using only the equivalent of less than 400 million tons of carbon, can not meet the huge demand for social and economic development. For this reason, his discussion group also try to gather sunlight directly into carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ThinkPad T43 batteryThinkPad T43P battery  so not only energy saving, is also expected from the “low carbon” to “zero carbon.”

National New Century 100 million project to train selected persons, Wuhan University, School of Physics, Professor Zhao Xingzhong the discussion group is dedicated to solar cell research, some technologies are close to the world advanced level.

New solar energy as a renewable energy, is considered the most important new 21st century energy sources. To the semiconductor material silicon solar cell, represented the first to flourish. But the production process complicated and costly. In recent years, scientists have been in countries committed to developing a number of low-cost, highly efficient new solar cells.

Laptop Battery Maintenance

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Laptop Battery Maintenance 1, activate the new batteries let your laptop battery longevity, there must be a good start, which was talking about from the purchase of notebook. New laptop battery at the first boot with 3 percent of the electricity should be (this is the general practice firms. If you first purchase the notebook open and found that the battery is fully charged, must have been another person used a), this time, you should first do not use external power to battery power exhausted in the remainder until the shutdown, and then use the external power supply charge. After returning home, even after the exhaustion of the battery charge, charging time must be more than 12 hours, repeated three times to activate the battery, in order to lay a good foundation for future use. 2, to minimize the number of battery seems to be some people feel this way stingy, but it is also the most effective. To know the number of  battery charge and discharge directly to the life of a single battery charge, battery on a step forward to retirement. Suggest that you use an external power supply, use an external power supply when the battery removed. Some friends of convenience, often several times a day plug in the power supply, and laptop computers equipped with a battery, do more damage to the battery. Because each time access is equivalent to an external power supply to charge the battery once the battery life shortened by a naturally. 3, battery charge and avoid exhaustion after long charging time regardless of your notebook to use nickel-metal hydride or lithium electricity, to power must be exhausted after the full (capacity less than 1%), it is best to avoid the memory effect Methods. Lithium no memory effect on the argument, I note in the preceding business irresponsible been misled. Lithium also have memory effect, but it is the memory effect than Ni-MH smaller Bale. And battery charging in the same way, when you charge the battery to the laptop, try to avoid too long, the general control within 12 hours. As for the prevention of exposure to prevent damp to prevent the erosion of chemical liquids, avoid contact with the metal battery contacts, etc. Note rechargeable batteries gradually losing is inevitable, but did not master the correct use, and cause the battery to accelerate the “aging” phenomenon is also quite as common as rechargeable batteries have a memory effect. If you often have to maintain the battery charge status, power once again when there is no depletion charge, it could lead to this phenomenon. The proper use of laptop battery is fully discharged from time to time on the first, and then charge to max power. This can maximize the “wake up” the sleeping part of the battery capacity. Full discharge is unplug the external power supply, only use battery power until the power sufficient to support the computer switched on, the best choice in the night time, have sufficient time to discharge, without affecting the rest. But pay attention to the automatic shutdown of the time setting to eliminate. Even so, there is no guarantee to the minimum battery discharge power, as the normal operation still need a considerable amount of power. At this time there is a way: Restart, turn the power on press F2, enter the BIOS setup interface (note: not sure, do not tamper with any settings), to maintain this status until the power is low automatic shutdown, you can fully discharge, which kind of state power consumption is relatively low. Taken from the Ask friends ~ hope to help you. Speaking from the battery materials, batteries currently used in notebook computers are three main points: 1. Nickel-chromium batteries, 2. Ni-MH battery, 3. Lithium battery; they are generally expressed as: Nickel cadmium NI-CD, Ni-MH NI- MH, Lithium LI. 1. Activate the new batteries 2. To minimize the number of battery 3. Electricity charge and avoid exhaustion after the long charging time

Development of technical standards
