Will there be safer Lithium-ion batteries?
The laptop battery explosion is no longer new to those interested in information technology, especially those who use laptops. After a Dell laptop caught fire on July 28, the battery problem for laptops became hotter.
And it's no wonder that people no longer trust the use of lithium-ion batteries in car manufacturing technology.
Valence Technology's U-Charge Power System
Almost immediately after, CNET announced that a company developed a safer battery: Valence Technology's U-Charge Power System. This battery uses cathode phosphate metal instead of cobalt oxide like lithium-ion batteries today. Although the power is only about 75% of lithium-ion batteries, it is much safer.
The U-Charge Power System is currently only used primarily for wheelchairs, but Valence Technology is quite optimistic about applying it to laptops.
