Toshiba's SCiB by March 2008

Press Release

The main merit of SCiB (Super Charge Ion Battery)
1. High safety

SCiB is difficult to cause the internal short circuit and the thermal runaway with the new cathode material and the adoption etc. of the electrolyte of the high flash point whose thermal safety is high, it is the electric battery whose possibility of explosion and ignition quite is low.

2. Long-lived efficiency

After approximately 3000 charging and cycles due to quick charge condition, capacity decrease is under only 10%. Approximately, repetition charging and which exceeds 5000 times being possible, 10 years or more it can use over again with the charge of 1 day 1 time.

3. Boosting charge efficiency

It can guarantee high safety and because heavy-current charge (50A) it is possible, the SCiB cell, both standard module, it can complete the charge of 90% or more of battery capacity in 5 minutes.

4. Takaide power efficiency

We have the input/output efficiency where like the electric double layer capacitor is high, it is optimum to the use whose big power is necessary.


5. Low temperature efficiency

Minus 30 ℃ and sufficient discharge is possible with low temperature environment, it is suitable in the use where use at cold area is anticipated.
