DefenceTalkTwenty years ago, one phone call between two Army engineers led to a cost-effective lithium-ion battery solution for what was then an up-and-coming guided missile system. That solution, now proven as a comprehensive success, evolved from a dynamic multi-agency partnership that continues to advance state-of-the art battery technologies for current and future Army, Navy, Air […]https://www.defencetalk.com/new-battery-technology-saves-soldiers-time-money-on-the-battlefield-71104/

DefenceTalkThe next generation battery technology company, OXIS Energy Ltd, has delivered the third phase of a research program to improve its Lithium Sulfur cells for Lincad Ltd and the UK MOD.

DefenceTalkResearchers at North Carolina State University have created a new flexible nano-scaffold for rechargeable lithium ion batteries that could help make cell phone and electric car batteries last longer. The research, published online in Advanced Materials, shows the potential of manufactured sheets of aligned carbon nanotubes coated with silicon, a material with a much higher […]https://www.defencetalk.com/battery-design-gets-boost-from-aligned-carbon-nanotubes-48741/

DefenceTalkThe U.S. Army is developing a battery to improve Soldiers’ agility on the battlefield while meeting the demands of an increased power burden stemming from new networked electronic devices. The Conformal Wearable Battery, or CWB, is flexible and integrates into a Soldier’s body armor. It conforms to the body, which Army officials say is a […]https://www.defencetalk.com/conformal-battery-unburdens-armys-networked-soldiers-48496/
