Toshiba Batteries Promise 90 Second Recharge Time
Japanese technology company Toshiba has reportedly improved its so-called Super Charge Ion Battery (SCiB) technology to make it even more efficient.
According to reports from Japanese financial daily Nikkei, Toshiba has improved the performance of its lithium-titanate-based SCiB by up to four times. The battery can now be charged in around 90 seconds making it suitable for applications requiring very high energy densities or very short charging delays.
According to Nikkei, Toshiba produces around 150,000 SCiBs a month but plans to increase this by building a facility later this year which could manufacture around 2 million batteries a month, with plans to increase capacity in the future.
Toshiba first announced the SCiB in December 2007 with claims that it would be central to the company’s plans going forward. In a statement at the time, Toshiba said it would target the SCiB at battery-powered bicycles, motorcycles and other vehicles that already use rechargeable batteries.
The company claimed the technology should also suit hybrid cars and eventually fully electric cars.
