Japanese research and development firm Eamex claims to have found a new way to increase the typical average life of a high-capacity lithium-ion battery. Eamex’s new technology will allow the demanding batteries to sustain over 10,000 recharges over the course of 20 year.
日本研發公司Eamex聲稱已發現能增加高容量鋰離子電池一般平均壽命的新方法。Eamex的新科技將可讓這種高需求的電池持續工作20年，並重複充電1萬次以上。
This rather dramatic increase in performance is made possible by new techniques such as a stabilization process of the battery’s electrodes, which in-turn puts less stress on the battery’s tin.
一些新技術使得大幅提升電池效能得以實現，像是透過一種穩定電池電極的過程，能讓電池的錫承受較小壓力。
This maintains the bonding of particles for a longer period of time and reduces the overall deterioration process. The result is a battery that lasts up to 10 times as long as most current batteries.
這可能讓粒子的結合維持較久時間，並減少總體的老化過程，其結果是，電池使用壽命是大多數現有電池的10倍。
Lithium-ion batteries are broadly popular within various consumer electronics. They tend to hold their charge when not in use, and have a high energy-to-weight ratio. Current lithium-ion batteries can hold their charge for up to 1,000 charge cycles.
鋰離子電池普遍使用在各種消費性電子產品上，它們在非使用狀態易於保持電量，且能量—重量比例高。目前的鋰電池可以充電達1000次仍保有電量。
