Nickel-metal hydride battery

In the Bay Back Battery Simulation, I was tasked to use strategic innovation to earn profits for the division of the consumer electronics manufacturer. As the President of Back Bay Battery, Inc., I was responsible for distributing funds for two types of batteries produced by the firm. Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) accounted for 80% of revenue for the firm while Ultracapacitor batteries (UC) only made up 20% revenue (Christensen & Shih, 2012). The company primary products covered portable power tools, two-way radios, and portable power packs. During the first run of the simulation, I responded to changes in competition and demand by allocation resources toward R&D. I utilized financial reports in the decision making process to allocate funds…

Introduction: Some organizations grow big with time, most of them grow with time because it always takes time to develop an organizational structure and establish a permanent industrial setup, but some industries just grow within a couple of decades. Tesla is one of them. Like all the big business firms and industries, it took only 19 years to compete with the local and international market demands and made a strong position among all the fellow competitors. The company came into existence in…

illegal to throw batteries away in the garbage? Many people are unaware of this fact. In 1991, the state of North Carolina rendered it illegal to discard of lead-acid batteries in a landfill, incinerator or any other type of waste-to-energy facility. The purpose of this report is to provide you with information on rechargeable batteries so you will have a better understanding on the benefits of a recycling program and possible implementation. The main points I will cover are the types of…

Lead is a toxic metal that can enter the body by inhalation of lead dust or ingestion when touching the mouth with lead-contaminated hands. If leaked onto the ground, acid and lead particles contaminate the soil and become airborne when dry. Children and fetuses of pregnant women are most vulnerable to lead exposure because their bodies are developing. Excessive levels of lead can affect a child’s growth, cause brain damage, harm kidneys, impair hearing and induce behavioral problems. In adults,…

• Back up is always available for any kind of circumstances. Disadvantages: • Power bill will be a big issue. • Service fee will be charged for supplying electricity. • This system cannot guarantee a constant power supply to home. • Smart meter and load sizing should be maintained. Stand-Alone Solar System Usually this kind of system is used for residential purposes. A storage system is added to the grid connected solar system by replacing the grid with battery, capacitor kind of things. In…

If the batteries are not properly charged, they will not be able to charge the solar light as much as they should and this can reduce the performance of the item. Sometimes, dust and debris can accumulate on the solar light and this can affect the charging procedure. If you leave them this way, they will form a coating layer on the solar panel. This will block sunlight from getting to the batteries, resulting in improper charging. You can prevent this by cleaning your solar panel regularly. #3…

The available technology points toward the use of lead/acid batteries to supply the power for ZEVs. The negative consequences associated with lead/acid batteries are numerous. For example, lead/acid batteries contain a large amount of lead. When the life of the battery is lost, the disposal of the lead within the battery must be dealt with appropriately. An analysis by researchers at Carnegie-Mellon found that the mass production of electric cars using lead/acid battery packs would exponentially…

they are beneficial to our environment and that they cause more harm than anything over the span of their life cycle. While many argue that the Prius and other HEV are solely damaging to the environment, many HEVs at their core are truly beneficial to the environment when properly created, maintained, and recycled at the end of their life. For starters, the beginning of every vehicle starts at some mining facility overseas or across national borders (Bradsher). The number one argument for HEV’s…

heating of metals, plastics and other materials, Simply applying paint and coating to a vehicle accounts for the largest share of the toxic output of a vehicle before it ever hits the road. Vehicle manufaturing requires large facilities that use large amounts of electricity and exhaust producing machinery to operate. The carbon footprint is enormous. The renewable parts of cars; the battery, upholstry and other parts are often responsibe the chemicals, Pthalates, rubber, cloth, foam, PCBs and…
