We're all trying to do more with less these days, and many families are examining their impact on the environment, both at home and on the road. • Electric and hybrid cars have been garnering much attention for having a smaller impact on the environment than traditional gas-powered vehicles, but how do you know whether an alternative energy vehicle is right for you?
Before choosing a new car, it's helpful to understand the differences between hybrid and electric vehicles.
Both types of vehicles are more efficient than traditional cars — incorporating energy-saving and emissions-reducing features, many of which are related to innovative uses of lighter-weight plastics and reinforced plastic composites.
Hybrid cars are dual-powered, featuring an electric motor and a gas-powered engine. The electric motor is powered by a battery, while the gas engine is, of course, powered by gasoline. Depending on how and where you are driving, the car switches between the motor and the engine to achieve maximum fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.
Looking for batteries? we supply digital camera batteries, camcorder batteries and other batteries. Brand new and high quality.
Electric cars, meanwhile, rely on only an electric motor powered by a battery. As battery technology advances, these batteries are getting more powerful and less bulky and are holding charges longer. The latest example of battery technology is the lithium-polymer (polymer means plastic) battery. These batteries are up to 10 percent more efficient than the nickel-metal hydride batteries currently in many hybrid cars.
Electric cars have come a long way, but so far they don't have the same long-range capabilities of gas-powered vehicles. With hybrids, consumers can get the reduced emissions of an electric motor, plus the long-range capabilities of a gas-powered engine.

Automakers also are increasing the efficiency of hybrid and electric cars by investing in more efficient designs. They are using materials such as reinforced plastic composites that can be as strong as steel, yet lighter, to reduce vehicle weight and lighten the load on engines. Vehicles built using these materials tend to weigh less, while providing high performance.
And the green credentials don't stop at the engine. Some new models even have seat belts made from recycled plastic bottles. For more information about how plastics are fueling auto innovations, visit www.plasticsmakeitpossible.com.
So which type of vehicle is right for you?
Today's hybrid car models are great for commuters and road trips, while electric cars are handy for short trips to the grocery store or to pick the kids up from school.

Tesla Teams with Panasonic to Boost Electric Car Battery Life
Palo Alto, California-based electric car company, Tesla, is pioneering some of the most innovative advances in electric car technology. Not only that, but Tesla vehicles are actually cool, sporty, and fast. The problem, however, that has plagued Tesla and other electric car manufacturers is battery life. Now, the company is teaming up with tech specialists at Panasonic Corp. to develop a longer lasting battery.
Currently, Tesla’s sporty Roadster model cars can travel up to 245 miles on a single charge. But next year, Tesla is planning on releasing its Model S—a four-door sedan—and wants the car to travel even further on a single charge. The company would like to see the Model S traveling at least 300 miles per charge.
We supply kinds of panasonic batteries with high quality battery cells: panasonic camera batteries, panasonic camcorder batteries and panasonic cordless drill batteries.
Tesla already boasts the most powerful batteries among commercial electric car models, and even supplies its components to some competitors, such as Toyota Motor Corp. and Daimler AG. “Our battery pack has 56 kilowatt hours of energy. Other EVs on the market have about 20 or 24 kilowatt hours,” says Kurt Kelty, director of battery technology for Tesla.

The Model S sedan will also be easily capable of switching out a used battery for a fully charged one. In trying to address battery charging times—which can take several hours—the electric vehicle industry has come up with the solution of battery exchange stations. The Model S will be able to pull into one of these stations and in a matter of minutes have a charged battery replacement ready to take the driver another 300 miles.
You may find battery charger for camcorders, here are some for your choice: KODAK Easyshare M1073 IS Charger, NIKON EN-EL7 Charger, HITACHI DZ-MV208E Charger and many more.
Three versions of the Model S will be released with three different price tags based on battery life. The basic Model S will only have a range of about 160 miles and will cost $49,900 after a $7,500 federal tax rebate. The second option will be $10,000 more, with a range of 230 miles. The 300-mile range Model S will cost $20,000 more than the basic model.
In early 2010, Panasonic Corp. invested $30 million in Tesla through stock purchases. Since the investment, Panasonic and Tesla have combined their battery technologies to create high-power, longer charge lithium-ion batteries. The 3.1Ah battery cells that resulted from the collaboration are the highest energy density cells commercially available on the market. Now, the two companies are at it again, looking to push the limits of battery life even further.

ThinkPad x220 Review – Editor’s Choice Ultraportable w/ 15 Hour Battery
The Lenovo ThinkPad x220 is a new 12.5″ ultraportable notebook that will be available for purchase in April. We’ve had a chance to use the ThinkPad x220 as our primary notebook for the past several weeks and we have been blown away by what this 2nd Gen Core i5 powered ultraportable can do all while delivering up to 15 hours of real world battery life! If you want to buy lenovo laptop batteries, buy-battery.ca is your best choice.
The x220 is the update to the popular ThinkPad X201 ultraportable, which incorporates several new design changes and features that really complete the user experience. There is also a Lenovo ThinkPad X220t, convertible tablet coming with similar spaces and pricing.
You should head over and check out our full ThinkPad X220 Review, where you’ll learn why we gave this ultraportable our Editor’s Choice award, but in short this is one of the first ultraportable notebooks we have used that could work as the only notebook you have — and with a starting price of $889 you’ll be amazed at what it can do.
This was one of the first Sandy Bridge systems we have had a chance to use and we wanted to test out the integrated graphics so we loaded up Just Cause 2 and were surprised to find a playable game on medium settings. The X220 wouldn’t be our first choice for a gaming notebook, but it is able to transition from work to play without any trouble.
The keyboard is, like on all ThinkPads, really great with a nice feel and layout of keys, but the mouse stole the show on the x220. It’s not that the mousepad si perfect, but it is 45% larger than the x201 and is a clickable surface so you can click anywhere on the upper portion for a left click, much like on a MacBook. The integrated buttons are curved at the base to fit the lid’s slight curve and delivers a passable two finger scroll.
The ThinkPad X220′s battery life, with the optional 19-cell slice battery, was also impressive. When we combined the standard 6-cell battery with the $179 slice battery, we were able to get 15 hours of battery life while surfing the web. The standard 6-cell was able to get just under 8 hours of battery life. If you opt for the 9 cell battery and 19-cell slice battery you can reportedly achieve 20 hours of real world use.
If you’re looking for a great new ultraportable, that weighs in at under 3 pounds with 12.5″ IPS display and a starting price under $900, you need to read our in depth Lenovo ThinkPad X220 review.

Advanced Battery Technologies Announces 2010 Year End Results
NEW YORK, March 21, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Advanced Battery Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:ABAT), a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of rechargeable Polymer Lithium-Ion (PLI) laptop batteries as well as a manufacturer of electric vehicles, today announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Total revenues of $97.1 million for 2010 represented an increase of $33.6 million or 52.8%, compared to $63.6 million for 2009. The increase in revenues was primarily due to the contribution of sales from the electric vehicle business, which the Company acquired on May 4, 2009. Sales of electric vehicles for 2010 were $49.2 million as compared to $20.3 million for 2009. The increase in vehicle sales was attributable to (a) the fact that 2009 results include only the period from May 4, 2009 to December 31, 2009, and (b) efforts by our management to make Wuxi ZQ more responsive to the requirements of its distributors. There are many high quality cordless drill batteries at aussie-battery.com
Mr. Zhiguo Fu, CEO of ABAT, stated, "We are pleased to report an increase in our revenue attributable to electric vehicles and medium batteries. This has been beneficial to the profitability of our overall business. In order to meet higher demand from both dewalt battery and electric scooter markets, the company intends to accelerate growth by building more facilities and expanding our marketing network."
Gross profit for 2010 was $45.9 million, a 61.7% increase from $28.4 million for 2009. The increased profitability of our sales is mainly attributable to improved production efficiencies in our electric vehicles operations. Since the acquisition of Wuxi ZQ in May 2009, we have worked aggressively to control production costs at Wuxi ZQ. As a result, the gross margin on our sales of electric vehicles was over 40%, compared to 33% in 2009. The overall result was an increase in our gross margin from 44.7% in 2009 to 47.3% in 2010.
Net income attributable to common shares increased 68.5% to $36.7 million in 2010 from $21.8 million in 2009. Diluted earnings per share were $0.48 for fiscal year 2010 compared to $0.36 in fiscal year 2009. At December 31, 2010 the Company had a strong balance sheet, with $111.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital balance of $131.2 million. The primary reason for the improvement in working capital and cash was the strong positive operating cash flows and the equity offering the Company completed in December 2010.

Why Does My HTC Phone Battery Life Suck
Read more about htc phone battery.
There are myriad of reasons why the Incredible's battery life goes down so fast, and if you're new to smartphones, we'll break down why your battery life goes down so fast, and what you can do about it, in the sections below.
Welcome to Smartphones
If you're just moving on from the world of the feature phones and picking up a smartphone, odds are you'll be shocked at how poorly the battery life compares. Unlike regular cellphones, which can go weeks on standby, smartphones will generally last a few days on absolute standby. The htc phone battery life will drop even faster once you start to actually use your phone to do stuff, like check email and play games.
Why? Because unlike feature phones, that just use voice and a small amount of data for calls, smartphones have more advanced features, like GPS, email, web browsing, youtube, HD video recording, and video gaming. These features tax the mobile phone's battery life way more flip phones, so the result is shorter battery life.
Blame the Robot
Another reason is that the Incredible runs Android, which is a very power-hungry operating system. Unlike old versions of iOS (the operating system that powers the iPhone), Android is built from the ground up to run multiple apps at the same time. This means that your email is working while you're on Google Maps, and Twitter is in the background while you're playing Angry Birds. This is great for productivity, but not so great for nokia phone battery life.
So what can I do about it?
Well, there are a number of things you can do. One of the main things is turn down the phone's display. You can do that by heading to settings>display>brightness. The Incredible's display is one of the main battery draws, so turning it down will save some serious juice.
Another thing you can do is turn off some radios when you don't need them. If you're in the subway without a signal, put your phone on airplane mode. If you don't use bluetooth, leave it off. Actually, but turning off your phone's mobile network connection, you can get a HUUUUGE lg phone battery increase. The catch is that your Incredible won't be able to connect to the internet while data is off, but it's an option if you need to squeeze a few more hours out of it.
Another thing you can do is set your phone to sync to it's services less often. Rather than having new emails come in instantly, perhaps set your phone to check for emails every hour or so. Tell Facebook to sync less often as well.
Of course, if you need to double your htc battery life, you can always pick up an extended battery for htc mobile phone. The Aussie-battery.com has tons of those.
Anyway, we hope this helps you get through your battery woes. If anyone else has useful tips, feel free to share them in the comments.

An Acer Laptop Battery Vs a Generic Battery
Browsing the internet for replacement batteries for your own Acer laptop may seem like an easy proposition, however it could be more difficult than you think. You can find legitimate Acer batteries, and then you will find Acer-compatible batteries, and the ads are often worded so that you cannot tell the difference. Are these generic batteries as good as the ones made by Acer? In fact, generic batteries such as Dell D5318 Battery in many cases are a lot less expensive than those made by the laptop or computer company, and we all would like to get in on the discount as long as they function just as well and last just as long.
The general consensus of online reviewers is that name brand companies tend to be tearing their clients away in terms of acquiring replacement batteries. However, individuals think they have to utilize DEWALT DC9091 Battery from the authentic maker, and so they purchase them, despite the fact that they’re exorbitantly priced. Individuals often think the advertising hype that says generics are not likely to provide you with the performance as well as length of life that the originals do. This is exactly why advertisers make these claims, even though they’re not necessarily true.
Whenever you go to substitute your Acer laptop battery, you will likely manage to find a generic replacement JVC bn vf707u battery that’s as good as, or even a lot better than, the OEM. The fact is that many OEM batteries are not very good ones. The companies that produce them are out to sell you chargers, replacement batteries, as well as extension warranties, so it is to their advantage to set inferior batteries such as OLYMPUS LI-42B Battery inside their laptops to obtain more business from you. Naturally, this ends up costing you a lot more money, particularly if you purchase their replacements.
You need to do take a chance whenever you purchase a generic MOTOROLA BX50 Battery, because you don’t know what you’re getting. Be sure to purchase it from a reliable shop that has a favorable return policy for merchandise that doesn’t live up to their promises. You will find that the majority of generic laptop batteries are constructed using cutting edge materials meaning they’re going to hold their charge for the longest achievable period of time. Batteries containing lithium and other rare earth metals work best on the market, no matter whether they have the Acer brand or not.

Toyota adopts Tesla's laptop battery strategy
Toyota Motor Corp., Daimler AG and Bayerische Motoren Werke AG are turning to laptops for a cheaper way to power their electric cars -- and their sales.
Automakers are testing packs of lithium-ion batteries assembled by Silicon Valley startup Tesla Motors Inc. that cost less than bigger, car-only batteries favored by General Motors Co., Nissan Motor Co. and Mitsubishi Motor Corp. A pack of 6,831 cylinder-shaped dewalt batteries cells made by Panasonic Corp. powers Tesla's $109,000 Roadster sports car for up to 245 miles per charge.
The car industry will help lithium-ion battery makers more than triple sales to $60 billion in a decade from 1.5 trillion yen in the year ending in March, according to Sanyo Electric Co., the world's biggest maker of the sony laptop batteries. Rechargeable consumer-electronics batteries benefit from an economy of scale that may help cut manufacturing costs and sticker prices in the nascent electric-car industry, said Koji Endo, a Tokyo-based analyst at Advanced Research Japan.
"It may lead to the total component cost of an electric car getting lower than that of a gasoline car,sony camcorder batteries for sony camcorder." Endo said. "As the cost lowers, there'll be more likelihood that retail prices of electric cars will drop."
EV prices are higher than three-quarters of the autos now sold, canon camera batteries for canon cameras, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, with GM's Chevrolet Volt selling for $41,000 and Nissan's Leaf for $32,780. Electric vehicles cost about twice as much to produce as gasoline-engine cars because the batteries are so expensive, according to consultant Frost & Sullivan Inc.
Sales of EVs and hybrids, including plug-in models, nokia batteries for nokia mobile phones. will reach about 954,000 worldwide this year, or about 2.2 percent of all car sales, J.D. Power and Associates, an industry forecaster, estimated in October.
Government subsidies may help boost sales of plug-in hybrids and EVs to 9 percent of auto sales in 2020, Bloomberg New Energy Finance estimated last month.
Panasonic, the majority shareholder in Sanyo, is the main supplier of lithium-ion cells to Tesla and bought a $30 million stake in the company last month. Toyota and Daimler also own Tesla stakes.

Rechargeable consumer-electronics batteries benefit from an economy of scale that may help cut manufacturing costs and sticker prices in the nascent electric-car industry, said Koji Endo, a Tokyo-based analyst at Advanced Research Japan.
"It may lead to the total component cost of an electric car getting lower than that of a gasoline car,sony camcorder batteries for sony camcorder." Endo said. "As the cost lowers, there'll be more likelihood that retail prices of electric cars will drop."
EV prices are higher than three-quarters of the autos now sold, canon camera batteries for canon cameras, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, with GM's Chevrolet Volt selling for $41,000 and Nissan's Leaf for $32,780. Electric vehicles cost about twice as much to produce as gasoline-engine cars because the batteries are so expensive, according to consultant Frost & Sullivan Inc.
Sales of EVs and hybrids, including plug-in models, nokia batteries for nokia mobile phones. will reach about 954,000 worldwide this year, or about 2.2 percent of all car sales, J.D. Power and Associates, an industry forecaster, estimated in October.
Government subsidies may help boost sales of plug-in hybrids and EVs to 9 percent of auto sales in 2020, Bloomberg New Energy Finance estimated last month.

Scientists claim tenfold increase in laptop battery life
Notebook batteries and the phone looks to increase ten – fold performance if to influence technical breakthrough by scientists from the United States.
According to researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the conventional external laptop battery electrode with carbon nanotubes, the power scale of conventional lithium – ion batteries replaced coated weight gain.
Scientists prattle that the electrode is an effective alternative to embedding the principles of the elementary material in a explanation of carbon nanotubes of positive and dissension charges so that the coating is proof.
The result is the electrode containing porous and more oxygen groups, which can store more lithium ions Dell D820 Battery.
According to the researchers, creation of energy, balance the weight of the electrode material was five times greater than conventional capacitors, caveman, and the scale of the quantity power is 10 times longer than lithium – ion Toshiba A200 Battery.
In addition, high – power, scientists prattle the carbon nanotube electrodes are very stable to use without compensation to more than 1000 charge cycles.
Although the production of carbon nanotubes is currently limited to smaller players is that many companies are ready for mass production of this material.
133 Watt External battery for up to 10 hours
What is the time, Dell Inspiron 1520 Battery?
Laptop Battery have two crew members, V and amplifiers. As the size and weight of laptop batteries is limited when they are larger, as compared Batteries Batteries shows that most companies their assessment of V & amp mill. One thousand Mill amperes equals 1 A. The purchase of the Toshiba Pa3534u-1bas Battery, select batteries in the Mill amperes ( or Ah ). Wh battery recommended by, probably the easiest of all functions. This is obtained by multiplying V and amplifier. For example:
14. 4 Volt, 4000mAh ( Note: 4000mAh at 4. 0 amps ).
14. 4 x 4. 0 = 57. 60 Watt – hours
Watt – hour is the energy required is to power one watt – hours. This portable power 57. 60 watts for one hour. If your laptop runs at 20. 50 watts, as the power of this laptop battery could be a portable 2. 8 hours
