About Silicone Batteries

The invention of lead-acid batteries contributed hugely to mankind over the past century and a half. It has brought the development and convenience to all of us in both industry and in living. But it has also caused serious problems that we are now becoming much more aware of with its production and usage such as the acid mist that is generated, which has become one of the major public hazards on our planet, even after the battery has been discarded as useless the pollution is still there.

The lead-acid battery has a relatively large internal resistance during its usage, generally greater than 25 milli-ohms. At the same time, holes are generated within their same maintenance free battery which makes the internal resistance even greater. The silicone powered, environmentally safe battery, where silicate salt is used as the electrolyte, is basically developed on the same theory as the lead-acid battery but they have the following specialty difference: using the silicate salt as electrolyte will produce absolutely no chemical pollution whether in production, usage or in disposal. This is a tremendous contribution for mankind worldwide. Furthermore, adding to the matured technology of the lead-acid battery production over the past 100 years, the quality of the silicone battery has advanced even further.

The silicate salt electrolyte has a much smaller internal resistance, smaller than 2 milli-ohms, twelve to thirteen times smaller than that of a lead-acid battery. Because of this, the discharge ability is improved greatly with no or little temperature rise during usage. The realized differences in both hot and cold temperatures are tremendous. These strengths allow the battery to be started at temperatures as low as -50 degrees centigrade as well as high temperatures in excess of +70 degrees centigrade. A silicone battery can be normally stored for up to and in excess of a years time due to its small internal resistance and low self-discharge as well as its ability to be recharged very rapidly. Also, being non-corrosive, its lifetime is extremely longer than that of its lead-acid counterpart. (For example, in the two-hours charging rate test, the ordinary lead-acid battery can be charged and discharged less than 200 times while a silicone battery can be charged and discharged more than 400 times). This is more than twice the life expectancy! Also, because there are no pollution or substantial temperature rises, isolation units are not necessary when using equipment with the silicone batteries, thus saving huge construction expenses.

Silicone batteries have very broad applications including stationary batteries, electric power, dynamic batteries and start up batteries. These batteries also has the advantage on the performance-price ratio, which makes them the obvious choice for further development.

With the world beginning to require environmentally safe energy products and their production, it is equally important for the individual user to realize the benefits of using this battery technology in both industrial and family applications.

From a marketing standpoint, these batteries are undoubtedly phenomenal and are already in use in domestic, industrial and military applications. Internationally, receiving positive test results through Edison laboratories and achieving numerous patents worldwide, these batteries have now become we believe one the most sought after and most environmentally correct battery products on the market today.
