Sony’s New Lithium Batteries Charge Quick with 4x a Capacity!

Here's what may be the Eneloop killer. Sony's latest Olivine-type lithium iron, unfortunately longer than standard, they to be recharged to 99% in just 30 minutes and provide up to 4x the capacity of a competing batteries…

Sony Corporation today announced that it has launched a new type of lithium ion secondary battery that combines high-power and long-life performance, using olivine-type lithium iron phosphate as the cathode material. Shipment commenced in June 2009.

The Olivine-type lithium iron phosphate used in this new battery is extremely suited for use as a cathode material due to its robust crystal structure and stable performance, even at high temperatures. By combining this new cathode material with Sony's proprietary particle design technology that minimizes electrical resistance to deliver high power output, and also leveraging the cell structure design technology Sony accrued developing its current "Fortelion series" lithium ion secondary battery line-up, Sony has realized a high power density of 1800W/kg and extended life span of approximately 2,000 charge-discharge cycles.

Furthermore, with this new battery able to charge rapidly, in addition to providing a stable discharge of voltage, it will first be supplied for use in motor driven devices such as power tools, after which its application will be expanded to a wide range of other mobile electronic devices. With lithium ion secondary batteries able to deliver both compact size and high capacity, their usage continues to diversify and grow. By adding this high-power, long-life lithium ion secondary battery to its lineup, Sony will aim to continue to provide batteries optimized to its customers' requirements, and further strengthen its lithium ion secondary battery business going forward.

These come in 18650 size, which are slightly larger than an AA cell in diameter but about 30% longer. Also Li-ons are ~3.8V so dont go trying to use these in something not made for it (they can explode)!!

But they are great news for me, all my torches run 18650! :D
