Hitachi Claims Battery Life Breakthrough

Hitachi has achieved a breakthrough in the design of lithium-ion batteries that it claims will lower production costs and extend lifespans to up to 10 years.

Researchers at the company have come up with a new design of cathode which combines manganese and cobalt with other substances.

The electrolyte in the battery has been improved to lengthen the life of the unit, and Hitachi is researching other changes to electrolytes to further extend the potential lifetime.

However, Hitachi said that laptop and phone users will not be the first to see the improvements, as the company is concentrating its efforts initially on industrial-grade batteries and storage.

The new technology was developed in association with the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation set up by the Japanese government to invest in power research.

Energizer warns of malware in battery chargers

The Energizer battery company is warning customers to clean out their systems following the discovery of a malware infection in its USB battery chargers.

The Windows versions of the firm’s Duo and USB battery charger products are infected with a back-door Trojan.

Energizer said that the malware could allow an attacker to remotely access the infected systems, and that it does not yet know how the malware was able to infect the charger software.

The company is advising users to uninstall the software, and search for and delete the ‘arucer.dll’ malware file and remove the ‘Run DLL as an App’ firewall exclusion.

Energizer is not alone in having shipped a product with malware. Companies ranging from Seagate to McDonald’s have mistakenly sold electronic devices with a malware infection bundled into the software collection.
