New Nissan lithium battery could mean more power

Sunday 29th November, 2009
Japan's Nissan Motor Co will double the charge on a lithium-ion battery to power an electric vehicle for 300 kilometres.
Nissan plans to boost the capacity of its existing lithium-ion battery's positive electrode by adding nickel and cobalt.
The enhanced battery is said to be able to store about twice as much electricity as currently made manganese batteries.
While Nissan, Japan's third largest automaker, aims to produce electric cars incorporating the new battery by 2015, the current Leaf model is set to go on sale in late 2010 in Japan, the United States and Europe.  Email this story to a friend
