Notebook Batteries Panasonic will work longer and less likely to explode

Panasonic has begun mass production of lithium-ion batteries for laptops (model NCR18650A), which have higher charge capacity than the current produced by the model. Batteries are made in the so-called form-factor of 18650, ie standard size of 65 mm in length and 18 mm in diameter. Users of these models have been known as an assembled unit with a boxy shape. If speaking directly about the characteristics, it is now 18650 batteries from Panasonic will have a capacity of 3100 mAh, whereas the previous generation had the figure at 2900 mAh, ie increase capacity of about 7% without increasing the size.

According to representatives of Panasonic, this increase was achieved through the use as anode material for the manufacture of nickel and application of new technologies to increase the density of charge. In addition, the company's engineers have made some effort, to increase the safety of batteries. Between the cathode and the anode there is now a layer of metallic oxide, the so-called Layer Heat Resistance Layer, which prevents overheating of the battery, even in the case of short circuit. Thus, Panasonic claims that their batteries will no longer have such unpleasant possibilities as an explosion.
