Manganese X Energy Corp CEO Martin Kepman Explains Benefits of Using Rechargeable Batteries - Seite 2

Several new energy reserve cases are being extensively studied to achieve smaller and lighter next-generation rechargeable Lithium and Nickel Manganese Lithium-ion batteries that can outperform commercial Lithium-ion batteries. Furthermore, Manganese X Energy Corp is strategizing to extract and produce high quality grade MNSO4, 99.95%, Manganese sulphate from it’s Battery Hill deposit in Woodstock, NB. Elementally Manganese has the potential to provide these optimum energy enhancements thus achieving a useful and balanced product improving the current levels and future characteristics of rechargeable Lithium and Lithium-ion batteries.

Rechargeable batteries can provide various benefits to their users. These include:

Longer Battery Service / Shelf Life

It is said that disposable batteries have a longer shelf life than rechargeable batteries. However, if one looks more closely and takes more of a long term perspective, rechargeable batteries will prove to have a longer battery service life than most disposable batteries. The main points to consider here are the rechargeable battery run time, shelf life, and life cycle. Run time is usually undefined since it relies on the type of application or device used. Battery chemistry is one big factor that affects the three aspects mentioned above.

Rechargeable batteries are conventionally found in such chemistries as Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), Lithium Rechargeable (Li-ion, or any Lithium-based rechargeable battery), Nickel Cadmium (NiCad/NiCd), and Lead Acid.

Battery run time is synonymous for the length of battery service in a single-use. Shelf life refers to how long one can store the battery and preserve its freshness on the "shelf." Technically, it is the number of cycles of charge and discharge a cell consumes until it reaches the maximum charge threshold.

Another thing to note here is the battery's self-discharge rate. Self-discharge is directly proportional and highly dependent on fluctuations of temperature, capacity and battery life will be affected when temperatures are colder, which extends battery life. Increasing the temperature will also increase the battery's discharge rate as well as increase its capacity. Rechargeable battery characteristics that one should consider are energy density, operating temperature, and recharge time.
