http://www.gizmag.com Lithium-ion based batteries have found widespread popularity in all kinds of consumer electronics thanks to their high energy-to-weight ratios, lack of memory effect, and slow discharge when not in use. These attributes have also made them attractive to the burgeoning areas of battery-powered cars and storage of energy generated by home-use photovoltaic (PV) systems and fuel cells. This rise in popularity, and the increase in storage systems using lithium-ion batteries, has also led to a demand for systems with higher capacity, output, reliability, safety and improved cost performance. Now Panasonic says it has developed a 1.5 kWh battery module that meets these demands.en gizmag.com http://www.gizmag.com/panasonic-lithium-ion-battery-module/13030/#comment-9949 http://www.gizmag.com/panasonic-lithium-ion-battery-module/13030/#comment-9949 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:04:55 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/panasonic-lithium-ion-battery-module/13030/#comment-9496 http://www.gizmag.com/panasonic-lithium-ion-battery-module/13030/#comment-9496 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 05:47:16 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/panasonic-lithium-ion-battery-module/13030/#comment-9091 http://www.gizmag.com/panasonic-lithium-ion-battery-module/13030/#comment-9091 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:45:47 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/panasonic-lithium-ion-battery-module/13030/#comment-9079 http://www.gizmag.com/panasonic-lithium-ion-battery-module/13030/#comment-9079 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 07:45:59 -0500
