Newcastle Battery Saves Merewether Man From Lithium Battery Explosion

Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) crews saved a Merewether resident from a dangerous lithium battery explosion. The man was storing the battery in salt water when it began off-gassing.

End-of-life batteries can pollute the environment by leaching chemicals into the soil, causing contamination at different trophic levels. They also pose a respiratory risk to recycling centre workers and may cause fires.

Powers Workstations

Newcastle Systems’ NB Series mobile powered carts deliver quiet, seamless AC power to mobilize your workstation hardware. These heavy-duty carts can power a laptop or thin client, monitor, thermal printer and scanner for 8+ hours.

The NB Series cart features an integrated LiFePO4 battery power system, adjustable top shelf, 6″ rubber wheels (2 fixed, 2 locking swivel), push handles, wastebasket and holder and built-in power strip. Unlike SLA batteries, this lithium technology eliminates the potential for potentially dangerous ignition events even when subject to mechanical abuse.

The redesigned PowerSwap Nucleus Lithium power system makes it easy to swap out depleted batteries for a fully charged one in seconds, enabling a 24/7 operation. The plug-and-play power system is compatible with the NB Series and PC Series Mobile Powered Workstations.

Error-Proof

The Newcastle battery is a powerful lithium power system that powers mobile powered workstations in warehouses, factories, and retail floors. It provides quiet, seamless AC power to devices such as laptops, printers and scanners for 8+ hours at a time.

Solar Battery Storage for Homes in Newcastle

A residential solar battery storage system enables your Newcastle home to utilise the energy produced by your solar panels independently of the grid. It can be used to store excess solar energy at night for use when you need it, or as back-up in case of a power outage. Solahart Newcastle is a certified Tesla Powerwall installer and can integrate this innovative energy storage solution into your new or existing solar power system.

Durable

Easily power your workstations and laptops without worrying about battery life. This mobile powered cart can run a desktop computer, monitor, thermal/laser printer and scanner for 8 hours at a time. This cart is lightweight and durable, allowing for portability with comfortable grip side handles.

This project is developing prognostic and diagnostic methods for a battery management system that can identify degradation signatures and suggest countermeasures. The ability to detect and quantify degradation processes will lead to increased lifetime, better prediction of failure, and accelerate development of new battery chemistries.

This research, selected to receive funding in the Faraday Institution Round 4 competition, is developing a new way of extending lithium battery life. The approach, called “delithiation mapping”, links specific spectral features with key stress-induced degradation mechanisms and kinetics.

Hardware-Friendly

The redesigned PowerSwap Nucleus Classic lithium power system makes productivity happen in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, retail floors and more. It provides quiet, seamless AC power and is easy to retrofit to existing Newcastle mobile powered workstations.

Newcastle Systems battery enables a laptop/thin client, 1-2 LCDs or touchscreens, thermal printer and scanner to be fully powered for 8 hours at a time. Its lightweight and portable design eliminates the need for extension cords and features visual and audible low voltage alerts, grip side handles and a cord reel holder.

Newcastle University researchers are working on several cutting-edge battery projects including extending battery life, battery modelling, recycling and reuse, safety and solid-state batteries. These projects will lead to commercial impact through a range of products and services.

Lithium Technology

Newcastle Systems, a provider of mobile-powered carts designed to make warehouses and manufacturing facilities more efficient, has introduced the PP2.0-LI. This newest compact system uses safe lithium iron phosphate battery technology to power a laptop/thin client, thermal printer, and scanner for 8 hours at a time. When the battery charge is depleted, workers can swap it with a fully charged one in seconds, enabling productivity to continue uninterrupted.

Past lithium-air designs used carbon anodes, but they require rare and expensive metals such as nickel and cobalt that have short cycle lives. This new design uses a ceramic polymer material with a solid electrolyte that enables a four-electron reaction, boosting energy density and eliminating the need for oxygen tanks. The new batteries can also be recycled and reused.
