In terms of their specific energy density, lithium-ion batteries offer approximately three times the level of mass energy density than nickel metal-hydride rechargeable batteries.
Adopting proprietary safety technologies, Panasonic's products deliver both high capacity and reliability and are accordingly attracting wide acclaim.
While playing a major role in a variety of consumer devices that form the mainstay pillar of the mobile era, Panasonic's products are widely used in other areas including hybrid vehicles and EVs. The Company is also actively promoting broad-based applications for its Energy Creation-storage Linked System in combination with the high-efficiency HIT photovoltaic modules.
Recognized for their high reliability and durability, the decision has been made to employ Panasonic's automotive lithium-ion batteries in over 10 models by five of the world's leading automobile manufacturers. In addition, deliveries are being made for use as electric drive systems in electric scooters.
Panasonic is putting forward Energy Creation-storage Linked System proposals that combine the Company's HIT photovoltaic modules and lithium-ion batteries in a single unit.
In addition to their widespread use in notebook PCs, mobile phones and related devices, Panasonic is strengthening the development of lithium-ion batteries for application in smartphones where demand for thinner, higher capacity products continues to increase.
