Batteries enter 'goldrush moment' with e-mobility leading the charge
DARMSTADT, Germany - With a heavy lean towards the automotive sector and the energy transition, this years' Battery Experts Forum provided an opportunity to catch up on the latest developments in the battery sector. Policy, regulations and new technologies were the dominant talking points in this growing market. "This is a goldrush moment in the battery industry," one speaker declared as battery output is expected to grow three-fold by 2030. But where does Europe fit into this growth?
The beginning of the end of lithium-ion powered e-bikes?
ORLÉANS, France - An e-bike that uses no rare earth materials… that is the concept of the Pi-Pop e-bike which uses a supercapacitor to store energy rather than rely on a standard battery pack. Being locally produced in France a third-generation design is now hitting the market with production expecting to 10-fold in 2024.
Circular e-bike battery: Safety that comes with durability and...
As the popularity of e-bikes continues to surge, the importance of sustainable and efficient battery solutions becomes more obvious. When an e-bike battery breaks or starts to underperform, the standard approach has been dangerous repairs or complete replacement. However, with the introduction of the Cleantron Circular e-bike battery, a shift started. This battery is being developed in collaboration with VROEGH Design, a specialist in the design of micro-mobility.
Phylion develops first generation sodium-ion battery cells
SUZHOU, China - At this year's Taipei cycle show, Chinese battery manufacturer, Phylion took the opportunity to show its new self-developed flagship battery cell models, the Golden Brick Version 30110 and 19118 Battery Cells, and the first generation of its weather resistant Sodium-ion battery cell. The manufacturer predicts this could bring in a new era for e-bike batteries.
How to fix e-bike battery safety and prevent e-bike battery fires
ZEIST, the Netherlands - "Why are so many e-bike batteries prone to fire and explosions?" asks battery expert James Post. In this report he dives deeper into the topic and explains how to fix the BMS to prevent fires and explosions, along with detailed information on low-cost solutions.
Next (LFP) and future (Na-ion) e-bike battery material technology
ZEIST, the Netherlands - In recent years, researchers and scientists have been working tirelessly to develop new battery cell technologies that can meet the energy demands of the future while also being cost-effective and environmentally friendly. LFP (LiFePO4) batteries are already mainstream with EV's and have a roughly double cycle life, compared to NMC batteries. Meanwhile, Na-ion batteries will further increase safety, temperature range and will be substantially cheaper.
How to design much safer e-bike batteries, at little extra-cost?
ZEIST, the Netherlands - After a lifelong career in power electronics research, of which the past 11 years in e-bike batteries, James Post came to the conclusion that most incidents of e-bike battery fires and worse can be traced back to design flaws. As alarming as this may sound, it is encouraging to know that these issues can be effectively corrected.
Doctibike develops a 100% repairable battery
VILLEURBANNE, France - Doctibike and its partners, with the financial support of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, have developed the first 100% repairable electric battery with intelligent and predictive maintenance. This project is the result of two years of work.
Chip shortage crisis: Causes and remedies for BMS issues
ZEIST, the Netherlands - The e-bike industry has been affected by the dramatic supply chain crisis due to automotive chip shortages, largely caused by Covid-19 and other socio-economic factors. This has resulted in difficulty in sourcing smart BMS's with automotive components at reasonable prices.
