There are two ways to achieve this, one involves shorting out your batteries terminals using a special resistive circuit, this fully discharges the power stored safely, and fast. It is important you either buy this tool, or make one from plans (if you are technically gifted.) Never just short out the terminals without this special circuit, as a massive current would be produced, which is dangerous, and can cause a fire or damage the battery beyond repair.

lithium battery stocks place your battery in the freezer. Place it in a zip lock bag to prevent it coming into contact with any moisture first. Doing this will cool the gel in it and this will remove any memory effect. Once you remove the unit from the freezer, allow it to return to room temperature, make sure it is dry and then recharge it in your laptop.

Keep it cool: The life of the battery depends on the temperature and the state of charge. High temperatures and high charge levels will lead to a short life. At 25C, you have 96% capacity at 40% charge, and 80% at 100% charge. The warmer it gets, and the higher the user charge level, the quicker it will die. Try to keep the temperature down and the ideal storage place is inside the refrigerator at 40% capacity.

lithium ion batterty stocks How about the future of electric cars? The future is looking pretty good for the electric car. Most major manufacturers have an electric car planned for around 2010 or 2011 which shows how mainstream it's becoming and there are even some great cars on the way from some of the smaller companies.Future technology also looks bright as there are plenty of breakthroughs coming regularly nowadays.

There are several custom made scooters such as the Diggler. The Diggler is a large wheel scoot suited to rough ground off road riding. These scooters are relatively expensive, up to $2,500.

lithium cobalt mining Some people like to repair a dead battery instead of buying a replacement. There are instructional ebooks sold online telling you how to resurrect a non-working cordless drill battery. It's wonderful that someone can be so interested as to try making a DIY repair. And it can be a very good science project for budding student scientist. Just type "repair battery" on eBay and you will find plenty of people selling the instructions.

The Bosch AKE 30 Li feels light in the hands, but the torque packed into that engine is incredible. It oils itself to keep the chain from drying out, and it is easy to check the level of the oil. This is an important feature, because letting the oil run out will damage the chain, guide and workings of the saw in just a small amount of time. Another thing that adds to the easiness of the Bosch AKE 30 Li is ergonomics. The handle is made of a spongy material that is easy on the hands. This allows you to use the saw from several positions in comfort. This feature on the Bosch AKE 30 Li also will get you through hour after hour of sawing without much damage to your hands and wrists.

An electronic digital lock makes the safe must easier to open at a much faster rate. Most are a six-digit combination, maybe followed by the pound sign, maybe not. One of the great things about electronic locks is the ability to change the combination at any time. If you think someone might have seen the combo as you opened the safe, simply reprogram the lock right from the keypad. Plus, you can open this safe in the dark because most have keypads with raised numbers. There is a lot to be said for speed, ease and convenience.
