A new technology to prevent lithium-ion batteries from catching fire or exploding in laptops and mobile phones may be on the market as soon as the first quarter of 2010, its inventor said on Wednesday.
The invention, called Stoba, was developed at the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), Taiwan's national research organization.
Stoba sits between the positive and negative sides of the battery and when the battery hits 130 degrees centigrade (266 degrees Fahrenheit), Stoba transforms from a porous material to a film and shuts down the reaction.
They expect to begin shipping in the first quarter of 2010, he said.
Pang, in Orlando, Florida, to get an award, said by phone that Stoba will add only two percent to three percent to the cost of manufacture. He said he wants to try selling the technology to major laptop and phone manufacturers. If this works as advertised, it may allow battery mfgs to create Lithium-ion batteries with more capacity at the same size because of less concern over fires. -- My BLOG .. .. Internet News .. ..
