Toshiba SCiB batteries come to the rescue
Do you have to charge your mobile devices every night to get you through the following day? You are not alone… But stop worrying, Toshiba is coming to the rescue with its new SCiB generation of batteries. Take a seat to check out the main features to be offered:
- High charge current of up to 50A and attainment of 90% of full charge within 5 minutes!
- Charge/discharge 3000 times and you only lose 10% of initial capacity! In other words, if you charge daily, you get stable high performance for 10 years!
- High safety against rupture or combustion thanks to high thermal stability.
- Suitability for high power applications, i.e. our future electric cars!
- Good performance at low temperatures of up to -30°C, very important for future mobile applications.
The bad news is that Toshiba is currently concentrating on industrial grade products. Come on Toshiba, you disappointed us with those SED screens that seem to never come to the market, if you get those SCiB batteries to our mobile devices soon we will definitely forgive you…
