Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Toshiba Laptop Battery
Toshiba plans to make a quick-charging new battery for forklifts, construction machinery and other industrial use.
Toshiba's Super Charge ion battery, to start shipping in March, can recharge to 90% of its full capacity in less than five minutes, Toshiba spokeswoman Hiroko Mochida said.
Toshiba, a newcomer in rechargeable batteries, said the new lithium-ion battery, with a life span of 10 years, could be used in hybrid and electric cars by 2010, Mochida said.
Battery such as Toshiba PA2487U Battery , Toshiba PA2510U Battery , Toshiba PA3084U-1BAS Battery , Toshiba PA3084U-1BRS Battery , Toshiba PA3107 Battery , Toshiba PA3107U-1BAS Battery , Toshiba PA3107U-1BRS Battery , Toshiba PA3166U Battery , Toshiba PA3166U-1BAS Battery innovations are expected to be key in making hybrid vehicles more widespread, because lighter and easier-to-recharge batteries will make it easier to offer variety among hybrids. And they will allow vehicles to travel farther on electricity.
"This is a truly innovative battery," said Toshiba Corporate Vice President Toshiharu Watanabe.
The new battery will first be used in electric bicycles, motorcycles, forklifts and construction machinery. It can work in temperatures as low as minus 22 degrees Fahrenheit.
Most lithium-ion batteries in use now, such as those in laptop computers, require hours to recharge to full capacity, with the fastest ones requiring about half an hour.
Toshiba also said its new battery is unlikely to rupture or catch fire, problems that have beset some lithium-ion batteries used in laptops.
The Tokyo-based electronics maker expects global sales of the new fast-charging battery to reach $893.7 million by fiscal 2015.
