Large-Format Lithium Ion Batteries Provide Enhanced Energy Storage for Solar Generated Power
John Battaglini, Vice President, International Battery, Inc.
President Obama’s “Clean Energy Standard for America” seeks to achieve 80 percent of electricity to come from renewables and other clean energy sources by 2035. It’s an ambitious goal, however one that can be met through the help of new innovations in grid technologies. Certainly, the quest for more reliable, cleaner alternatives to fossil fuels is driving technological advancement in the smart grid.

The Future of Battery Technologies: Environmental Considerations for Lithium Batteries
Intertek
There is a growing awareness of and interest in environmental issues across all sectors of society in recent years. Many people argue that our long-term survival depends upon reducing our impact on nature and that we must stop releasing toxic materials into the environment. Batteries are not yet covered by legislation on chemicals, but the “Regulation on Batteries,” which is based on the EU Battery Directive, governs the use of certain heavy metals in batteries.

Safety and Protection for Advanced Lithium Batteries
Marko Dimitrijevic, Applications Engineer, International Components Corp.
Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries have increasingly become the enabler of modern portable technology products ranging from laptop computers, communications handsets and medical equipment. Contemporary Li-Ion cells offer energy densities that are significantly higher than legacy battery chemistries such as nickel cadmium (NiCd), nickel metal hydride (NiMh) and lead acid (LA).

Is It Time for a Lithium-Ion Recycling Revolution?
Dr. Kerry Lanza, Palladium Energy
Lithium-ion batteries have earned and substantiated their label as a “green technology.” The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers lithium-ion batteries “safe” for disposal in contrast to nickel-cadmium and lead-based battery products, which can cause environmental issues with careless disposal.
