A-T Battery Co. is a joint venture between Asahi and Toshiba, to produce Li ion batteries. Fuji Electric and Fuji Film, Hitachi-Maxell (Li-thionyl cells, and now also Li ion cells), Japan Storage Battery Co. (prismatic cells), and Matsushita Battery Co. cover most systems. Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsui, and Sanyo are major producers of the Li - Mn02 system. Sony Energy... 

Granular silica. In the early 1990s, Japan Storage Battery developed a VRLA battery in which the add was immobilized by closely packed granular silica that was filled between and around the plates [51 53]. The silica consists of fine primary particles and of coarser secondary particles formed by agglomerates of the primary particles. While the fine primary particles immobilize the add, the interstices... 

In addition, two sets of data from the Battery Association of Japan (BAJ), formerly known as the Japan Storage Battery Association (JSBA), equally clearly demonstrate that the levels of cadmium emissions to air and water in Japan have decreased steadily over the period from 1980 through 1992 in spite of the greatly accelerated production of NiCd batteries in Japan during that same time period (Mukunoki and Fujimoto 1996). Japan is the world s largest producer of NiCd batteries, and currently accounts for over 70% of the world s NiCd battery production. If there is any country where potential enviromnental contamination by cadmium from NiCd battery manufacture should be... 

Other than Hitachi/Shin-Kobe, Japan Storage Battery is very actively developing an HEV battery. They launched a Li-Ion battery for an HEV truck for Mitsubishi Motor Co. in 2002. The feature for their battery is the manganese-based material in the positive electrode. The members of the national project for fuel-cell vehicle application, other than Japan Storage Battery and Hitachi/Shin-Kobe as battery developers, are Panasonic, and national laboratories, universities, private companies, and so forth as the advanced technology developers. The synergistic energy of this project is expected to accelerate the development... 

In 1994, Japan Storage Battery Company found that chain sulfones, such as dimeth-ylsulfone (53) (50 vol.%), can be used as solvents [80],...

Abuse tests for smaU consumer cells are defined by the hitemational Electrotechnical Committee (lEC), Underwriter s Laboratories (UL), and the Japan Storage Battery Association (SBA). For electric vehicle batteries, the USABC has developed a test manual that is available from Sr E [39]. The USABC manual classifies abuse tests as mechanical, thermal, electrical, and vibration. In Europe, ASTOR is developing standards for advanced automotive batteries [40]. There have been only a few reports on the abuse behavior of large cells.
