Beijing February 26, according to foreign news websites reported that Lenovo this week introduced ThinkPadX201, creating a new record of battery life. According to Lenovo, the basis of type ThinkPadX201 using 9-cell lithium ion battery, and sustainable to run 11 hours.

Lenovo’s worldwide product marketing manager for Mika Ma Jia Puluo Senior (MikaMajapuro) said that the use of low-voltage version of Core i7LM processor, battery life can be extended to 12.2 hours. Although the use of a 9-cell lithium-ion batteries ThinkPad T60 battery , ThinkPad R60 battery ,FRU 92P1141 battery  , but the X201 and X201s notebook weights were only 3.5 and 3.1 pounds.
Lenovo did not specify the test conditions or test compliance with industry standards such as MobileMark. But the company guarantees, the new Lenovo battery in three years, can maintain the promised battery life. This battery has been used in the T series and X series ThinkPad notebook.

Majiapuluo said the new notebooks have the ability to bring long life and high performance, is developed to take two steps away results. First, the company’s development team has improved power management, so that T series and X series devices can adapt to the user’s own style of charging habits. For example, if the user is often a long time charging, the battery will charge very slowly, to prolong their lives.

Second, the association adopted 9-cell lithium-ion battery capacity so great that even the ThinkPad computer can not be completed using the original. Majiapuluo said they would not immediately to customers all performance. This means that the future will be more new batteries.

The global market leading company (GlobalMarketsDirect) on February 12, 2010 release “global fuel cell market: by 2015, the key trends and development opportunities” report, the report said, fuel cells will be commercialized in 2013.
    Technological advances and sales volume is expected to increase in fuel cells will reduce the cost, which will allow this technology to the 2013 and 2015 to become commercially viable.

    Although the technology has many advantages, but the fuel cell market is still a part of the mainstream market, mainly due to electricity, compared with Internet access, high cost, low durability.

    Nano-technology will allow fuel cells to improve durability and make it the power costs can be made to compete with the traditional. According to the global market leading company statistics, as of 2008, there are more than 2100 organizations are engaged in hydrogen used in fuel cells and nano-technology development, research funding invested more than 4.7 billion U.S. dollars.

    Fuel cell technology development and the combination of nano-technology will be major markets for the fuel cell reliability, durability and power, so that to reduce costs, and with low emissions and fuel economy advantages.

    Forecast that, although many manufacturers annually produce about 100 cars for traffic authentication, it is expected that by 2015 fuel cell vehicles can not be mass production, mainly a lack of suitable infrastructure to support this development.

    Fuel cells are used in automotive, portable facilities, and residential, commercial and industrial purposes of the non-emission power.

    From 2002 to 2009, the fuel cell market has attracted more than 633 million U.S. dollars investment in 2004, culminated in investment, industrial investment of about 170.3 million U.S. dollars. Entered in 2010, once the economy recovers, fuel cells, will attract more investment.

    U.S. fuel cell market is fast-growing trend, as of the end of 2009, set the total number of fuel cell 620, the development of the main driving force is the government’s support, the Government encourages the development of clean energy. Some planning, such as the Energy Policy Act of 2005, investment tax incentives, as well as the various stages of relief for the fuel cell market transformation project will further promote the U.S. fuel cell market.

    In addition, the South Korean market, promising fuel cells, although still in its infancy, but because of government support policies, is expected in the near future will be rapid development. South Korea has about nine fuel cell installations at different stages of development.

New rules requiring the establishment of recycling points at some retail locations should help to reduce the number of batteries currently being sent to landfill.

From this month, any retailer selling more than 32 kilograms of batteries annually will be required to supply recycling facilities for customers to use once the batteries NR222 , NR239 , PC764 have run out.

“Old batteries can cause harm to the environment when they are not recycled,” said environment minister Huw Irranca-Davies.

“The new approach to disposal of batteries Latitude D830 battery will help to reduce the number of batteries that now end up in landfill.”

According to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the UK uses on average 600 million batteries a year, with 97 per cent of these ending up in landfill.

The government is aiming to increase the rate at which batteries are recycled from three per cent to a quarter in the next two years, and to 45 per cent by 2016.

As well as shops, some libraries, town halls and schools will also set up battery collection points on a voluntary basis.

Developers of an “extreme” hybrid electric car system took Gov. Jack Markell for a spin around Dover on Tuesday, part of a cross-country tour aimed at winning Washington state-based AFS Trinity a place at the heart of an electric car revolution

“We have been asked point blank by people in the state: Would we be interested in licensing our technology to Fisker?’” Furia said. “Absolutely. We’re shopping for a place where we could build. This isn’t the only state.”

Hybrid and electric vehicles are center stage at this year’s Detroit Auto Show – and for good reason.
 
In addition to the buzz around concept cars from GM, Ford, Nissan and other traditional auto makers, Tesla, Fisker, Better Place and the other new guys in town are broadening the business and technology model for next-generation driving options. But remember to pay attention to those battery companies behind the curtain – they are about to climb into the driver’s seat for electric vehicle and smart grid innovation around the world.

As Cynthia Artin discusses in her Smart Money column this month, the connections among smart grid, smart auto and battery investment ecosystems are well established and will become even stronger in 2010. Announcements in the past few weeks put the spotlight on a new ecosystem balance of power,  as companies in the battery segment become strategic ecosystem investors.
 
Fisker Automotive’s new $115 million round of venture capital includes a $23 million share from A123 Systems, which will also supply the advanced battery systems for the automaker going forward. After its September 2009 IPO helped to jumpstart the market last September, A123 has climbed to a $2 billion plus market capitalization – so the $23 million investment in Fisker may be just the beginning of its support for strategic ecosystem partners.
 
Ener1 another battery technology company with strategic electric vehicle partnerships, is tapping even deeper pockets in establishing a global ecosystem for batteries, smart autos and smart grid residential connections. In December, Ener1 reported a $20 million strategic investment from Itochu, a Japanese commercial trading company and distributor that has a long-standing relationship with EnerDel, the battery production division of Ener1 based in Indianapolis. Itochu is an industry giant valued at about $100 billion, with strong interests in renewable energy utilities and automotive sectors as well as extensive real estate holdings in Japan. One of the projects that Itochu will support with Ener1 in Japan will be the installation of advanced battery systems for residential smart grid energy storage – starting with a pilot project in a new Tokyo residential complex  VGP-BSP13/S , VGP-BPS13 , VGP-BPS13A/B  .
 
The model is to create a secondary market for the advanced batteries developed for electric vehicles. Using these batteries for power storage and for auto charging in residential settings will spread the cost of battery development and manufacturing, support smart grid load balancing and ultimately make the batteries  VGP-BPL2 , VGP-BPS2 , VGP-BPS2A  themselves more affordable.
 
Commenting on this project, Charles Gassenheimer, CEO of Ener1 said, “We are pushing hard to drive pioneering initiatives like this to develop a secondary market for automotive grade lithium-ion batteries. I believe this secondary market will be a key enabler to reducing battery costs for automotive buyers and accelerating the growth of the market for electric powered vehicles.”
 
Naoki Ota, Chief Operating Officer for EnerDel noted, “These are the first projects anywhere in the world to bring all the critical elements of a smart, sustainable network that connects renewable energy and transportation in the places where people live and work.”
 
To round out this interconnected investor-investee relationship, Ener1 has made its own investment in an electric automaker. THINK, the Norwegian company behind the Think City electric car will move production to Ener1’s home state of Indiana after EnerDel’s investment made it at 31% shareholder in the previously struggling company. As with Fisker and A123, the EnerDel investment includes a strategic ecosystem partnership agreement –future Think City electric cars will incorporate Ener1 battery technology and THINK components will be incorporated into future projects with Itochu in Japan.
 
It may still be a small world, but the smart energy and smart auto ecosystems are expanding at an impressive clip.

Intel has been pretty good about making sure the higher-end Core i5 and Core i7 processors are on the market, and those are all grand and good, but what about those looking for something a little cheaper and mid-range? Well, it looks like HP is on the ball, and has three new laptops coming with the Core i3 processor. This is great, as the HP Pavilion dv7t, the Pavilion dv6t, and the Pavilion dv4i all recieve the option of Core i3. Even better, just for those who care, all three of these are already on sale on LogicBuy. Follow the links to get in on them!

It happens every day. You hit the power button on your laptop and you wait. First it seems like nothing is happening. The screen is black, but your power light is on and you hear low whirring noises. Then you see the logo of the laptop manufacturer and some text. You continue to wait as the screen goes black again, and then you hear more mysterious whirring noises. Finally, you see the Windows logo that tells you your operating system is still booting.

This slow and confusing preboot period occurs when the system’s BIOS (basic input/output system) performs a POST (power on self test) and can last for 10 seconds or more, dramatically increasing overall start times. On our tests over the past couple of years, notebook start times took an average of 55 to 66 seconds, across all the major Windows and Mac systems we tested.

Even so called “instant-on” operating systems like DeviceVM’s Splashtop and Google’s upcoming Chrome OS cannot begin loading until the BIOS has completed its POST.

“In the ’90s, people were complaining that BIOSes took a minute [to POST]. So there was a big push from Microsoft and the BIOS makers to start getting down to 10 or 15 seconds,” said Brian Richardson, senior technical marketing engineer at American Megatrends, a leading BIOS vendor. “Now people are used to turning on the TiVo that instantly has that program from last night, and they want that experience on their computers.”

Fortunately, the push for faster start-ups continues. BIOS manufacturers and notebook vendors are hard at work cutting the POST time down to a second or less

Auto manufacturer Chrysler said this week it has chosen A123Systems, a Watertown company based on technology developed at MIT, to make batteries for its new Envi line of electric and hybrid cars.

A123Systems was co-founded in 2001 by Yet-Ming Chiang, the Kyocera Professor of Ceramics in MIT’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Several of the company’s key early employees also came from MIT.

The company’s batteries are a variation of the lithium-ion technology that has become a standard for many applications including many laptop computers. They use a novel nano-structured iron-phosphate material for the electrodes, in place of the cobalt-oxide used in most lithium-ion batteries.

Batteries made with the new material, initially developed by Chiang, are considered much safer than older lithium-ion batteries, some of which overheated and even occasionally burst into flames –Â a problem that led to massive product recalls. The Watertown company’s batteries are also expected to be much longer lasting, unlike today’s laptop batteries that must be replaced every few years.

The A123Systems battery will power Chrysler’s new Envi line, which is initially expected to be made up of a two-seater sports car, a minivan, a luxury sedan and two Jeep wagons. Some of these will be pure electric cars, rechargeable overnight through a standard household outlet, and some will be hybrids that could travel 40 miles on battery power alone. The first of the five models is slated to go on sale next year, though the automaker has not specified which one.

GM had previously announced that it was considering A123Systems batteries for its electric car, the Chevy Volt, but then selected the Korean company LG Chem Ltd. instead. It is considering A123 for a later version of the car.

MIT has a license agreement with A123Systems, which includes a royalty arrangement as well as shares in the company. The Institute also made a small initial investment in the company in 2001.
