Toshiba’s SCiB™ rechargeable battery used in various fields
SCiB™ is active in a wide range of industries and locations and in a wide range of fields.
Hybrid Electric Vehicles
The high input/output capability of SCiB™ makes it possible to efficiently store the large electric energy generated during deceleration and braking, improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions.
Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles
Battery systems composed of small SCiB™ cells help realize safe, long-life, and rapidly rechargeable electric vehicles.
Automotive Starter Battery
Featuring high power and long life even at low temperature, SCiB™ is a replacement for automotive lead-acid batteries.
Cranes
SCiB™ allows cranes to efficiently use the large kinetic energy that is generated while freight containers are lowered, contributing to improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions.
Electric Ships
The minimum battery space required by SCiB™ makes it possible to secure spacious cabin. SCiB™ enables efficient operations of electric ferries with a small quantity of batteries.
Electric Buses
Electric buses using SCiB™ can be charged in a short period of time, such as, while they are at a bus stop. A reduction in the quantity of batteries makes it possible to secure a spacious passenger cabin and reduce costs.
Hybrid Buses
SCiB™ allows buses and other large vehicles to efficiently convert large kinetic energy into electric energy.
Hybrid Trucks
While a truck is on a downward slope, SCiB™ efficiently recovers the regenerated energy so as to be able to assist in climbing an upward slope later, improving fuel economy. The recovered energy can also be used by an air conditioner and a refrigerator while the engine is idle.
Railway
SCiB™ is suitable for the electrification of diesel locomotives. It can also be used to provide electric energy while a train is running on non-electrified sections and even in the event of emergency.
AGVs and AMRs
SCiB™ eliminates battery replacement because of its outstanding rapid-charging performance, enabling unattended operations of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).
Electric Power Systems
Storage battery systems composed of long-life and high-reliability SCiB™ enables frequency regulation of power grids.
UPS
SCiB™ helps realize small, light uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, improving space utilization and reducing battery replacement costs.
IoT
SCiB™ enables safe, small battery systems to support the development of IoT infrastructure because of its outstanding characteristics, including its high input/output density close to that of capacitors, long life, and low-temperature operation.
Drones
While conventional drones require battery replacement, SCiB™ makes it possible to create new drones that eliminate the need for battery replacement.
