The headache of notebook producers were always storage batteries. The energy consumption of portable computers grows, and the energy density of batteries reached the limit, when the risk of fire because of the insignificant plant defect or damage is too great. In this case the time of off-line operation so far from the expectations of users as the time of the charging of batteries, and the period of the service of storage batteries is limited. The company boston-Power is intended to correct the position of – was today declared about the production of the line of the lithiumionic storage batteries sonata, which the producer carries to the new generation of the power sources for notebook.
On form factor and joints of the article boston-Power completely compatible with the batteries, utilized in notebook today. I.e., passage to the new storage batteries is carried out by simple replacement, without any changes in the construction of notebook. To the number of improvements sonata the producer carries the special measures, which increase safety of the batteries: the retarded chemical kinetics; the innovative interrupters of current; the safety devices, which react to the temperature excess; the unique vent valves, which regulate pressure; the special configuration of case.
However, the major advantage Of sonata over the existing batteries named the shortest in the branch time of the charge of – 80% capacity battery collects in 30 minutes. According to the producer, this approximately is twice more rapid than in competitors. Furthermore, the declared period of the service of the batteries sonata in the duration corresponds to the life cycle of notebook. Now, as asserts Boston-Power, in the first three years of the operation of new notebook the majority of users manages to replace batteries three times, but Sonata during this period the replacement does not require.
The development of batteries occurred in the close collaboration with company HP. The public demonstration of articles must take place on Thursday on the exhibition DEMO 07 in California, and first notebook with the batteries sonata are expected on the market by this summer.
