batteries

I'm looking to buy a Passat GTE since I mostly drive less than 10 miles from home (so should be able to use EV only mode for 90% of the time), have 3 kids (2 in booster seats) and I need the load capacity for my work equipment. My budget is around £15-16k which looks like I can get a high...

Hi, I'm a newbie about EVs and I'm here to ask for a clarification. After reading some docs about EVs, I learned that there are 4 different charging modes, where each of them specifies voltage and current values during EV charging (so, indirectly, the absorbed power). For example, I read that...

I have a Mercedes B class electric 2017 model. The official says that it should charge 87mile range (not on paper but in the real life) without extender. in the summer time we managed to get close to 87miles but now in winter it went down to around 52-54miles. Just over 50miles isn’t quite...

Hi all, I've read up a bit about decreased range and slow charging in cold weather. Does anyone know if there are manufacturers guidelines on what the optimum temperature range for the batteries are? Or what temperatures the battery warmers kick in? Thanks

Interesting (and positive!) stuff as Evan Davis discussed battery technology and application on The Bottom Line this week: "Is battery technology the key to decarbonising energy and reinventing transport? If so, can the current technology, Lithium-Ion batteries, evolve quickly enough to meet...

Valence U2712XP. Check valence.com for detailed specifications. Best Lithium batteries in the market retailing new for $2000. These ones have been very little used. They normally have a life of 4000 cycles DOD at 80% which means that if charge/discharged to 80% every day they would last more...

Hi there, I have a bulk quantity of U2712XP batteries from Valence Technolgy. They have been tested and fully chraged. History log shows via CANBus that they have been charged an average of 50 times or less, so they are practically new. If you want to know more details please call me on...
