Lithium ion Polymer Batteries

[danakulchyski]

the old lady wants one for the vibrator..i love that woman

[JRBeaman]

not 10 year life doing that to it.

[skonkfactory]

There's nothing innovative in choppers. They're stuck in the 1950s. Wake me up when they have sensible crank angles.

[sweetgyy]

sweet but why the battery in my cellphone doesnt hold a charge after a while ? \

[ClematisReiss]

LiFe cells dominate this. See my cars. Its swell somone engeneerd the Ga, of the wires going to the starter. the starter smokes because it is eiter hot, ot because the connection form the pole to the stator is weak. This test does not impress me. Look at the typical Lithium Ion discharge rates, and the lIFE Curve. the started didnt burn out, the V (PDC) change is rapid at discharge,hence the sudden inability to turn the electric

S!

if u need real info, call me.

if not, read into what you see

[dirtyharrycallahan1]

@ClematisReiss I have an electric car. What batteries do you recommend?

[graphicterminal]

That's the perfect battery for my robot!

[dragoncustomcycles]

were the hell can i get this!!!!! i need one for my 107. i get 5 turns out of my bat. whats in it right now.

[sweetgyy]

how much for that batt!?

[JETTANAZA]

ฝรั่ง โง่ ก้อมีเยอะ

[Bn4TheBniFitOfMrKite]

very stupid test. meaningless. there is equipment that can give objective data that actually has meaning. like ampere/hr. what a joke.

[ingesumadre]

there's nothing cheap about that battery.

[josephvs]

what a stupid demonstration!

[mccunecp]

I like that battery I need it for a electric car I want to build hell that thing is sweet you know its putting out shit loads of current and it just keeps going it wold make a great battery pack for a electric car cool

[rtsoccerplayer]

lithium ion ftw!

only disadvantage is that its more expensive. of course doesn't matter when it comes to starting gas cars. but when building an electric car, it will cost a lot. but hey, better performance and range

[proverb311031]

you can get this stuff at army surplus,!

[proverb311031]

This dude is real dumb!

[proverb311031]

We have been using Lithium in the Army since before i was in the Army, thye last a real long time!

[r3inhout]

Hey I have a question...How long is their life span? And how do they recycle those things?

[proverb311031]

Lithium-Ion batteries are recyclable, and the metal content of these batteries can be recovered in the recycling process.

Li-Ion batteries are currently reprocessed through pyrolysis (heat treatment) with the primary recovery the metal content.

With the introduction of ceramic into the new batteries the over heating problem can be solved, heat was the biggest problem of these batteries, which causes a few fires in the past.

This Technology is over 30 years old!

[lovenewtech]

@proverb311031 The average pollution carbon footprint created by 12 kilowatt hours of electricty is nearly equal to that of one gallon of gasoline. Estimates done by Busettii Electric Bikes show that 6 kilowatt hours electricty is needed to charge a huge 72 volt 50 ah lithium battery. This bike will go 75 miles on each charge so that means its about one fourth of the carbon footprint of an equivolent gas powered motorcycle. A 75% cut in carbon and pollution out put sounds good to me !

[pipdbrown]

Prob out of petrol

[Leopoldo888]

Boring.

[canamm]

...And HOW much did that starter cost?

[Workerstar1]

this is not Lithium Ion, this is Lithium Titanate from the company Altairnano.

because there is no 12 Volt Lithium Ion Battery (like lead acid), exept you solder them together...

[jpm000001]

how do you know the battery is from Altairnano?

[Workerstar1]

because theyre the only one producing these kind of batteries, if you find another company makin these batteries let me know.

[jpm000001]

oh really ....

Altair makes Li titanate

[Workerstar1]

yes thats li titanate, cause there are no 12 V li ion out there, you can find 3,7 V li poly cells, 3,6 V li ion cells, 3,2 V li iron phospate.(exept if you put them together yourself) and he said something about you can charge them with 20 - 30 Kwatts.

[ragonamuffin]

A123....

[Workerstar1]

a123 are single 3,6/3,7 V cells no 12 V ones...

[ragonamuffin]

Well in that case, LiFeBatt.

[coin4charon]

If your motorcycle takes 2 minutes of cranking to start, then you need a better battery to crank it?  Just make an electric bike and forget about the motor.

[Cathexis52]

Not the point, nub....

[y2kdeuce]

Not lithium Matt? Sure they are.

[dismith]

"There's not much else to say except that..." there are MUCH better ways to demonstrate the strength of the battery than abusing other components.

[blaxpear]

Agreed. ...LOL... this guy is real gearhead. You're going to burn your starter and possibly reduce the lifespan of that battery, just to prove a point that is pretty obvious to most people (lithium ion polymer batteries are currently the best there is)? Great effort, but consudering the length of this exercise, it's not very informative. :-) I guess he's gotta spend that $50,000 markup on the chopper somehow. :-)

[jharmony777]

Instead of burning out the starter you may get a better result if you had 2 bikes and switch the battery back and forth when the starter got to hot.cool video.

[hirokatasugiyama]

How trustworthy is this video when the website that "supposedly" sells this battery has no info or active link?

[afca42]

It worked fine for me

[docchocobo]

These would work great in my solar power system. If they arent outrageously priced :)

[tsport100]

They are, unfortunately.

[Doctorbass]

The Answer: --- A123 cells --- ... SAFE, POWERFULL, LIGHT...

[knightmb]

For those that want more information about this and other electrical vehicle technology, you need to visit the forums at endless-sphere dot com forward slash forums. There is a great community of people that do this and much more every day. That is just a taste of what good batteries can do, see what we do with them everyday.

[beko105]

How much do these batteries cost? & where can i buy them?

[ekuwa69]

Of course the government has had these for years. We could of used them years ago and wouldn't be paying threw the nose for oil now.

[dakiro222]

like we all could a long time ago have nuclear isotope energy converter except for the fact that they are too expensive and dangerous.

Apply too expensive in this case - the government also pays big bucks for the equipment

[lazzer408]

The government pays for nothing, YOU pay for it.

[cecizzy]

Yeah. We pay. And rarely get anything from them.

[l42]

Matt I would like to know how to purchase some of these batteries. Could you post the company name, or internet sight?

[EETechs]

tooomp, The motor used is for starting and engine is for INTERMITTENT DUTY which makes it small and not very efficient, that is why it gets hot. A continuous duty motor is very efficient (and larger) and therefore will not get hot. Gasoline engines by comparison get very hot. Maybe you need to study of on motors a bit better.

[tooomp]

Seems like this tech could be used to make electric motors more heat resistant too, perhaps more efficient as well.

[seemmodish]

Remove the combustion engine, string them in series and attach an electric motor. The Tesla EV of ELECTRIC motorcycles. TESLAMOTORS dot com.

[bobbikemenu]

Pretty fantastic! Since it lasts many years, it should pay for itself pretty quick.
