One year ago in February 2024 the new European Battery Regulation EU 2023/1542 came into force. What impact does the new regulation have on everyone who deals with batteries in their daily lives? We spoke with Sönke Zacher, Head of Project Management at Jauch: Sönke Zacher: The new battery regulation brings many innovations. It was

Did you know that the new European Battery Regulation came into effect last year? This regulation, officially known as “Battery Regulation EU 2023/1542,” introduces numerous changes and higher standards for the sustainability, performance, and labelling of batteries. The new Battery Regulation was published on 28th July 2023, came into force on 17th August 2023, and

In a world where the demand for powerful and long-lasting batteries is constantly growing, different technologies are competing to meet the needs of a wide range of applications.  Among the promising options, rechargeable lithium polymer batteries and primary lithium thionyl chloride batteries are at the top of the list. Both are lithium batteries and are

Approximately 1 percent of people worldwide suffer from epilepsy. In numbers, that’s one in 100 to one in 150 people. In 30 percent of them, the disease is even incurable. This means that they are unable to control their seizures with the help of medication. Recurrent seizures are the result. “Seizures that occur during sleep

Electroencephalography, or EEG for short, is a methodology for measuring tiny brain signals that are quite difficult to capture. You can likely imagine how these tests look like: Participants have electrodes and lots of cables around their heads while being in a lab. However, these complex systems cannot measure the human brain in the natural

Everybody knows the emergency number for the fire department. And probably everyone hopes they are never forced to dial it. But in fact, this happens more often than you might think. This is shown by current statistics from the German Fire Brigade Association. According to these, the fire department was called out around 700 times

Lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries currently set the standards in the battery market in terms of performance, cell voltage and service life. While lithium ion batteries are thought to power the vast majority of our cars in the future, lithium polymer batteries are already supplying power to our mobile phones and laptops today. Both cell types

One thing is for sure: lithium battery technology is currently leading the way in the field of mobile power supply. Just look in your pocket: There is no smartphone that is not powered by a lithium polymer battery. Since the Swedish mobile phone provider Ericsson launched the first mobile phone with a lithium polymer battery

In the year 1800, Italian physicist Alessandro Volta presented his latest invention to the Royal Society in London. His Voltaic Pile was the first battery. For the first time, a permanent flow of electricity could be created and held over a long period; a scientific sensation that paved the way into the electric age. The

Can you still imagine living your day-to-day life without the mobile power supply that a battery provides? Our lives would be far less safe, accurate, and simple. Our phones would still be attached to a cord. The smartphones that allow us to make calls to anywhere would be inconceivable. We’d have to open the garage
