Nuvvon battery with solid polymer electrolyte passes nail penetration tests
US solid-state battery technology developer Nuvvon’s polymer electrolyte has passed a series of nail penetration tests, which create a short circuit inside the cell to determine if the battery catches fire or explodes. In two sets of tests, which were conducted at The University of Texas at Austin (UTA), traditional 1 Ah cells of commercial… Read more »
Ideal Power increases B-TRAN bidirectional semiconductor power rating, targeting EV contactor applications
Ideal Power has the power rating of its discrete B-TRAN bidirectional semiconductor power switch from 50 A to 75 A. The company says that the higher rating is supported by extensive internal and third-party testing, and no design or packaging changes were required. While the official rating is now 75 A, the device has been… Read more »
