Car Batteries

Electric vehicles are the greatest technology step that needs to be taken to reduce future emissions and needs of fossil fuels. This article will explain; history of electric cars, how electric vehicles work, what kind of mechanisms they have, charging and storage systems. It will also make comparisons between battery electric vehicles (BEV) and internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV).

Fluoride shuttle batteries (FSBs) are superior to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in terms of high energy density, safety, etc. An electrolyte consisting of tetraglyme (G4) as a solvent molecule and triphenylboroxine (TPhBX) as an anion acceptor to improve the solubility of cesium fluoride (CsF) salt is a candidate of the electrolytes for FSBs. The low concentration of CsF in the electrolyte makes it difficult to study. Electrical X-Ray total scattering and anomalous X-Ray scattering (AXS) are powerful techniques for studying the local structures of electrolytes. This study shows that AXS measurement with a Cs K-edge can clarify the local structure around very low atomic concentration (0.27 at%) Cs. The first-neighbor distance and the coordination number suggest that Csþ ions exist in the major
Cs(G4)2 þ complex together with the minor Cs(G4)þ. The low-Q peak observed in the scattering patterns can be attributed to the structure of alternating [TPhBX]F and [Cs(G4)]þ (or [Cs(G4)2]þ). The large sizes of cations ([Cs(G4)]þ and [Cs(G4)2] þ) and anion [TPhBX]F lead to a long correlation distance. This work presents the picture that the F ions hop from TPhBX to [Cs(G4)]þ or [Cs(G4)2]þ toward the cathode and anode during charge and discharge, respectively.

Without a battery, your car simply isn’t functional. One of the most inconvenient
things in life is when your car battery suddenly dies unexpectedly! This can delay
you to work or make you miss an important appointment!

But the good news is… there are several ways to know if your car battery is on the
verge of dying and needs to be replaced. And in this article, we will go over 7 signs
your car battery is about to die and needs to be replaced or reconditioned.
Something to note before we begin...
Before we discuss these 7 critical signs, it's important to note that when
experiencing problems with your car battery, be sure to check the battery
connections and cables first because sometimes a faulty connection can appear
to be a larger problem.
1) Slow Cranking
When turning the key, if your car turns over for longer than normal or takes a while
to “catch,” it often is because the battery charge is low. While the starter can be
the culprit, most of the time the battery is to blame. If this is happening regularly,
it’s a good sign your car battery is going bad and it may be time to replace your
battery or recondition it.

En la cúspide de la jerarquía se encuentra el sistema de almacenamiento de energía: la batería. Ésta se ha convertido en un componente estratégico que determina la autonomía, la funcionalidad y gran parte del costo del vehículo2. A diferencia del papel marginal de la batería de plomo-ácido en los vehículos de combustión interna (Lara y Salazar, 2012), la batería en un VEA es un componente clave puesto que alimenta con energía al sistema de tracción (Raskin y Shah, 2006). Esta nueva función de la batería requiere formas novedosas de interacción con diferentes subsistemas E/E. De tal manera que para capturar la evolución de la batería NiMH se vuelve necesario considerar no sólo los componentes tangibles, sino también los componentes intangibles (software) incorporados en ella. El programa teórico de este trabajo se vincula con la teoría de los sistemas complejos (Kauffman, 1993; Holland, 1975, 2006; Cancho, Janssen, y Solé, 2001; Frenken, 2006; Arthur, 2009), así como con la teoría de economía de la innovación (Valverde y otros, 2007; Fleming y Sorenson, 2001).

Algunas de las preguntas que intenta responder este artículo son:  ¿Cuáles son las ventajas y desventajas que tienen las patentes para describir y analizar la actividad inventiva? ¿Cómo se pueden utilizar las patentes para dar cuenta de la trayectoria inventiva de Honda en lo que se refiere a componentes de batería y supercondensadores? y ¿Cuáles son las fuentes de conocimiento y patrón tecnológico que ha seguido Honda?

Now a day’s maximum research is going on fuel saving automobile vehicles and battery operated vehicles. In this contest battery plays a vital role for power consumption, efficiency, average or mileage, pickup, charging, discharging time and maximum distance run etc. Hence research is thought on study of battery parameters and its estimation for electrical vehicles. Objectives of this study are to enhance the ability of the automotive industry to simulate and model the product for dynamic and future safety-critical applications. The different active loads like electronic dash board or electronic circuit can be connected to the battery, which will sink constant current from the battery and drives particular load of the electrical car. Through this experimentation estimation of the battery parameters can be done effectively. User of the electrical vehicle will get detail information of the health of the battery. Once idea behind charging and discharging are understand scientifically then equivalent model can be developed and estimation becomes easy.

Es necesario representar la trayectoria tecnológica de las baterías dentro de un sistema complejo mayor, que es el vehículo, y estudiar su evolución como resultado de la interacción de la batería con los distintos subsistemas de un vehículo. Se considera crítico el estudio de la naturaleza de la interdependencia y el de la emergencia de cuellos de botellas como resultado del desigual ritmo de innovación de los varios componentes y subsistemas. (Arthur, 2009; Hughes, 1998; Rosenberg, 1982).

I often hear people say that we can’t cover the world with electric vehicles, because there simply is not enough lithium for batteries. In any case, they add, lithium production is toxic, and the only supplies are in the Global South. Moreover, so the story goes, there are not enough rare earth metals for wind turbines and all the other hardware we will need for renewable energy.
People often smile after they say those things, which is hard for me to understand, because it means eight billion people will go to hell.
So I went and found out about lithium batteries and the uses of rare earth. What I found out is that the transition will be possible, but neither the politics nor the engineering is simple. This article explains why. I start by describing the situation simply, and then add in some of the complexity.

Continuous improvement is an important aspect for companies to maintain their position in today's market, and process control can provide this capability for them. This study aims to facilitate implementing statistical process control (SPC) in less-developed industries. Due to reaching this goal, failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) has been employed. FMEA helps the SPC implementation either in process selection or output analysis. Also, this integration has been applied in a car battery industry that is a less-developed industry as a case study. As a result, this paper provides an innovation to use engineering tools in some places which are not mature adequately.
