Я совершенно случайно зашел на этот блог, но задержался тут надолго. Задержался, потому что все очень интересно. Обязательно скажу о вас всем своим приятелям.

from http://www.autobloggreen.com/2008/06/09/enerdel-puts-a-lithium-ion-pack-in-a-th-nk-city-ev/
“indicates that EnerDel is on schedule to meet the year-end timetable for volume production under its supply agreement with Think Global.” It seems like the battery pack is a 27 kWh pack, just like the three EnerDel sent to Think Global earlier this year.”
So it is 27 kWh not 600 Wh, and nanotechnology does not catch fire like other lithium batteries in case of accident, research this if you doubt new technology superiority.

Lyle,

What happened to them releasing those specs. It got buried in thre Th!nk release methinks.

Most of the lithium technolgies available today have similar charge/density numbers. A123 is lower than most because it has a heavy metal can form factor. The reason is heat management and physical strength against punctures, crushing, etc. Enerdel’s design is high density with excellent heat management. Their cell is the only one I know of that will meet the high current discharge and survive puncture/crush tests without turning into a blowtorch.

Having alot of experience with lithium technolgy and r/c, I would not want a car with a huge firebomb under the back seat.

We can get an approximate guess at the weight by figuring out the cubic millimeters of the pack (pack dimentions are on thier web site) and multiplying that by some known wieght of existing lipo batteries.
Obviously this is a guess but better than nothing. I have also requested this info in an email. Let’s see how they respond
