HERA has information about a rechargeable Ni-Hydrogen battery and yes, it’s going to be added to our PowerBook Wishlist later in the week:
Ni-Hydrogen technology has been used for decades in space applications. Further commercial deployment has been limited as a result of the high-pressure design used prior to the Company?s invention (Ergenics? patents).
HERA’s Ni-Hydrogen battery uses a separate, hydride-based, low pressure hydrogen storage tank. This segmented design allows a flexible, lower-cost, lower weight, battery design which is better suited to automotive applications.
Equally important for hybrid electric vehicles is the battery’s patented “bipolar” cell configuration. In a bipolar battery, individual cells are placed next to one another in a “stack” assembly with a conductive plate located between each cell. Electrical current passes from one cell to the next across the entire electrode area, enabling operation at high rates of power.
