Tokyo- A new lithium-ion battery called the SCIBTM module has been introduced by Toshiba corporation.It is intended for use in electric ships,EV buses ,and stationary applications with its aluminium baseplate ,the new device dissipates around twice as much heat as exciting modules. It will be accessible both domestically in Japan and abroad starting in mid- April 2025.
The demand for batteries that can sustain continuous rapid charging and discharging in a variety of applications, such as electric buses and power load levelling in stationary application ,is rising along with the use of lithium-ion batteries. However, the batteries lifespan is shortened by continous input and output at high power levels in a little period of time .Managing heat dissipation and preserving battery life while achieving high power input and output in a short amount of time is a challenge for battery developers.
The lithium titanite negative electrode utilized in Toshiba SCiBTM rechargeable batteries ensure long-term,low – temperature performance, safe operation, quick charging, high input and output, and a broad effective state of charge ( SOC *1) . They are extensively utilized in industrial and hybrid vehicles, including facilities, electric buses, cranes,and trains. Toshiba provides battery modules in addition to battery packs and cells. These modules can be combined in parallel or series to provide the necessary voltage and capacities .
Module product users want a compromise between battery life and continuous high input and output in a brief period of time. Toshiba has created a new module that is the first to include and aluminum baseplate in response to this growing demand . Because aluminum conducts heat very well,the new module dissipates heat about twice as quickly as existing battery modules.
Aluminum heat resistant is lower than that of resins often used for baseplate . Nevertheless, the baseplate needs to be isolated from the battery cells because it is a conductor. For commercialization, Toshiba has necessary voltage resistance using the same cooling system that consumers typically use and running under normal settings results in heat dissipation performance that is about double that of current module, thus increasing battery life.
Toshiba can react flexible to consumer request and application requirements by expanding its module lineup with new products. Toshiba will keep producing goods that take advantage of the special qualities of its SCiBTM lithium-ion battery while taking into account all costs associated with the customer life cycle, including installation, upkeep ,and disposal.
