Innovations in materials spawn gains in lithium ion, polymer batteries
Article Abstract:
Sanyo Electric Company Ltd continues to develop new uses for cylindrical lithium ion batteries that it developed in 1994. The batteries have increasing applications in notebook computeres and camcorders which make good use of the excellent energy density of the product. The development of the cylindrical lithium ion batteries was followed by the creation of prismatic lithium ion batteries which are heavily used in portable communication equipment, particularly digital mobile phones and PHS terminals.

Rising demand spurs Sony's output of lithium ion polymer batteries
Article Abstract:
Sony Corp plans to expand production of its lithium ion polymer batteries from an initial one million units to two million units monthly by summer 2000 in response to growing sales. The batteries are lightweight, thin and are leakproof because they contain gel polymer electrodes. They are applicable for mobile phones and portable audio-video equipment. Sony is also planning to launch lithium ion polymer batteries in various sizes in 2000 to service personal computers.

Sony's material technology makes difference in lithium ion batteries
Article Abstract:
Sony Corp forges ahead in the development of lithium ion rechargeable batteries since it first created the product in 1990. It has already manufactured a series of lithium ion and lithium ion polymer rechargeable batteries aimed at specific uses. Sony is engaged in several development projects that seek to raise battery capacity and obtain extremely efficient hard carbon material through the full use of its technical capabilities.
