Sanyo eyes tenfold increase in lithium ion battery capacity

KASAI Japan & Sanyo Electric, which make hybrid vehicle lithium ion battery for Ford and Honda, targets a tenfold increase in lithium ion battery production capacity in five years.They also aim to slash manufacturing costs by half in that time in its bid to become a leader in next-generation power packs for green cars.

Speaking last week at the opening of Sanyo's lithium ion battery factory in this western Japanese city, Sano predicted hybrid and electric vehicles will account for 10 to 15 percent of all new-car sales in 2020. Sanyo wants at least 30 percent of that global market, he said.Limited lithium ion battery production began at Kasai in July, with initial capacity of 1 million cells a month. Sanyo aims to raise that capacity to 10 million cells by 2015.

Sanyo did not say how many vehicles 10 million lithium ion cells could supply. But it could be enough for 125,000 hybrid vehicles a month, judging by the output of its Tokushima factory.The Tokushima plant, which opened last year for trial production, was Sanyo's first facility making lithium ion battery for cars. It has enough capacity for 100,000 cells a month, or enough for 15,000 hybrid vehicles a year. There are roughly 80 cells per battery pack.

Anode tech may lead to 30% higher capacity lith-ion battery

A research team at Japan's Advanced Industrial Science and Technology has developed a new anode technology that could boost the lifespan of a lithium-ion batteries charge by as much as 30 percent. The synthesis method, known as "soft chemistry," creates a titanium oxide that is significantly more efficient than the lithium titanate it would replace. Batteries could generate about 225mAh of power for each gram versus 175mAh today.

The technique can run at a relatively low temperature, making it easier to implement, and could also reduce the cost of the batteries themselves. Titanium oxide doesn't require relatively costly lithium to make, AIST said. Switching also doesn't affect the ability to maintain capacity over repeated charges. Researchers didn't say how soon they expected the new developments to find their ways into shipping products, though the development is relatively conventional and might become practical sooner than usual for battery research.

Lithium Polymer Batteries to Dominate the Battery Market for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles in South Korea

Hybrid and EVs are riding a wave of popularity, as increasing social responsibility and environment consciousness are driving consumers to invest in fuel-efficient and low-emission vehicles. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers will be keen to make the most of this trend and showcase their Green image by promoting zero-emission vehicles. Their endeavours are expected to expand the market size of hybrids from approximately 13,100 in 2010 to 131,500 in 2016 and EVs from 150 in 2010 to nearly 74,000 in 2016. Consequently, Frost & Sullivan estimates the lithium-ion polymer battery volume for hybrid and EVs to increase from approximately 6,200 in 2009 to 201,500 in 2016 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 65 per cent. The volume of lead-acid batteries is likely to increase from 13,780 in 2009 to 368,800 in 2016 at a CAGR of 55 per cent.

To tap the hybrid and EV market optimally, battery manufacturers have to tweak their technology. As hybrid and EV manufacturers are not completely satisfied with the current batteries, market participants will be compelled to develop advanced battery technologies such as Zinc Air batteries that help increase range and top speed, especially in EVs. Presently, lithium ion battery is still at research and development stages and the technology has not been proven yet, says the analyst of this research. OEMs need to develop a variety of hybrid and EV models to compete with conventional vehicles. New technologies and rapid improvements in hybrid powertrains, resulting in greater fuel efficiency, reliability, lifespan and improved performance, is a step in that direction.

Power electronics suppliers have a wide range of opportunities for the integration of battery monitoring units for battery application in hybrid and EVs. The battery control unit is integrated along with the battery and will be controlled by a centralised hybrid or EV controller. Batteries are likely to be the main storage units and will influence the future design and testing of vehicles for OEMs, notes the analyst. OEMs and suppliers have to collaborate closely to develop batteries to catalyse the commercialization of alternative powertrain vehicles.
