Autonomy is often one of the bottlenecks of portable systems, purchased because of their versatility and the strong character-driven mobility. Under these conditions, the availability of an energy reserve to be used without connection to the electricity grid, it becomes crucial.
There is no doubt that the present state of things, there have been interesting progress in this direction by exploiting a particular technology can hold the fuel consumption by reducing energy demands in the early stages of the less demanding job, and towed to the state LED backlit displays and solid addition to low power platforms.
After HP, Panasonic is also working on a new generation of lithium ion cells which should ensure autonomy greatly improved. New batteries, for which has already begun the production phase in volume, will, presumably, available to the public since 2011.
According Otsumo Furno, president of Panasonic, portable systems equipped with these options could reach the working week for single charge.
It would, without doubt, a result worthy of attention. Moreover, the new Panasonic will be able to hold a charge longer, even if not used, using a positive electrode in nickel.
The news does not end there. Indeed, in developing these new cells, Panasonic has introduced a number of technical improvements to prevent any signs of accidental short circuit, making the batteries more secure by inserting a layer of metal oxide between the positive electrode and negative (HRL Technology , Heat Resistance Layer) while preserving the overall size of the structure that continues to measure 65 millimeters in length and 18 millimeters in diameter.
New cells, codenamed 18650th, have a capacity of 3.1 Ah 2.9 Ah against the current batteries, and an energy density of 675 Wh / L.
