Porsche 911 battery

Porsche offers world’s first lithium-ion automotive beginner electric battery

ATLANTA, Nov. 23, 2009 – Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is the first vehicle manufacturer worldwide available a starter electric battery with lithium-ion technology. Evaluating under 13 lb or 6 kg, the newest battery is more than 22 lb or 10 kg less heavy than the standard 60 Ah lead battery.

The new lithium-ion battery pack should be readily available as an alternative by January 2010 for 911 GT3, 911 GT3 RS, and Boxster Spyder and it is delivered aided by the automobile. It really is costing $1, 700.

The latest electric battery was developed especially for reduced weight. In recreations vehicles designed for exceptional driving dynamics as it is the case with both versions of the 911 GT3 therefore the Boxster Spyder, less body weight naturally implies better agility and driving characteristics.

The lithium-ion battery pack has got the exact same measurements dimensions regarding the regular battery pack, it is about 2.8” or 70 millimeters lower. The fastening things, electrical contacts and current range are completely compatible, allowing simple and easy quick replacement regarding the standard lead electric battery, for instance whenever rushing regarding track.

The vehicles tend to be delivered with both battery packs and they are ready for usage throughout the entire 12 months. The lightweight battery pack provides a really large standard of every day operating attributes but its starting capacity is limited at conditions below 32 degrees F or 0 degrees C, because of its particular functions.

Using its moderate ability of 18 Ah, the lithium-ion battery pack provides a level of useful result and gratification not just comparable to that a 60 Ah lead battery, but much better quite often.

Only about 30 percent of the total ability is clearly readily available for practical usage with a regular car battery, but this constraint does not apply to the lithium-ion battery. On the other hand, through its unique composition – and, specifically, the liberty for the substance composition associated with electrolytes from cost status – a lithium-ion electric battery regularly provides nearly 100 percent of its capability.

Power delivery by the lithium-ion electric battery throughout its of good use fee range is also better, offering its full power, for example, when beginning the engine as degree of energy is mostly in addition to the current charge level.

After the engine has begun, the new Porsche electric battery shows additional benefits in the fee procedure as it's in a position to charge faster as a result of less internal resistance. Various other advantages: the lithium-ion battery pack allows for a significantly higher quantity of billing and discharging rounds, the self-discharging result is leaner in addition to solution life of battery pack is longer.

The lithium-ion battery being introduced by Porsche whilst the pioneer in this region comprises of wound film of carbon and metal phosphate with a ceramic movie moisturized by the electrolyte that functions as an isolating level in between. In contrast to other kinds of lithium-ion electric batteries that use a combination of manganese oxide, cobalt oxide or nickel, this lithium-iron-phosphate battery, as it is known as, offers advantages whenever utilized as a starter electric battery. It's sturdy and consistently ensures the usual current of 12 V the car’s on-board network.

The lightweight battery is made up of four cells and incorporated electric controls. This electric battery administration system protects battery pack from significant discharges and guarantees a regular charge amount in the specific cells. When battery pack current drops below a certain threshold, a warning sign reminds the motorist to re-charge battery pack either by just operating the car or through a regular electric battery charger.

The newest lithium-ion electric battery may also be designed for retrofitting from February 2010 from the three designs mentioned from Porsche Tequipment.
