Toshiba has developed a new lithium-ion battery called SCiB (or Super Charge Ion Battery) which can charge to 90% capacity in only 5 minutes. The battery’s life is more than 10 years even if it used every day. The battery is also safer than other types of lithium ion batteries, which are potential fire hazards.

The key feature of the battery is the use of lithium titanate (Li₄Ti₅O₁₂) is used as a negative electrode material with electrolyte with a high flash point and a separator with a high heat resistance. With the conception like this the risks of burst and combustion are reduced, Toshiba said.

For a positive-electrode material, lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO₂) was adopted as in the case of Li-ion secondary batteries for portable devices.

Toshiba will begin commercial production of the battery in March 2008. The company says the battery can be used in electric motorcycles and hybrid cars. Toshiba currently makes 150,000 cells a month, mostly for electric bicycles.

Toshiba says its batteries use a lithium-titanium oxide negative electrode. That makes the batteries more stable than typical lithium ion batteries, which use carbon-based negative electrodes.

The company announced that there is a electric bicycle manufactured by Cannondale Sports Group that uses the quick-charging lithium ion battery. The SCiB battery uses lithium titanate for enhanced safety and is made up of ten battery cells connected in series. See more information about this bike at CleanTechnica.

Even if its 1in1000 situation, thats still one very dangerous problem. Suggest removal Id be all for hybrid cars as long as they arent Toyotas By BringtheRain at Suggest removal Very good, 007_fan, Im busted. Didnt notice that goof myself. Suggest removal Good points from BringtheRain, but think 007_fan needs to go back and read my post again. Suggest removal hybrid NASCAR race car? Hey, man, the fans dont even like the COT! By chevy3forever at My mistake.. seem to recall that Nacar went to unleaded gas during the 70s to spin that the sport was responsive to change…

Suggest removal Good points from BringtheRain, but think 007_fan needs to go back and read my post again. Itd give whole new meaning to calling Tony Stewart Smoke. The thing Id worry about with hybrid NASCAR car would be the electrical aspect of it. And if one of the cells is ruptured, hey, racin is rubbin. Suggest removal Nacar isnt NASA…their only concern is the bottom line in their entertainment business. Suggest removal Rather than go hybrid, maybe NASCAR should bolt from and go the other direction Hydrogen Fuel Cells.

Suggest removal are you kidding me? If you like Formula so much, go watch it and leave NASCAR alone. Suggest removal Good points from BringtheRain, but think 007_fan needs to go back and read my post again. Suggest removal Hey James Bond Fan, are you really Redneck, and proud of it as well? Try and finish grade if you can, it would help you understand the ways of life little more, to say nothing of you reading skills!

By 007_fan at Even if its 1in1000 situation, thats still one very dangerous problem. Suggest removal Hey fancan to say nothing of you reading skills! Looks like YOU might not have finished the sixth grade based on your poor grammar. Suggest removal Good points from BringtheRain, but think 007_fan needs to go back and read my post again. After all, the biggest thing keeping hydrogen off the streets is lack of distribution network not problem at 20something NASCAR tracks. Maybe just maybe you will see one pass for the lead year. And if one of the cells is ruptured, hey, racin is rubbin.
