'''SCIB''' (Super Charge Ion Battery) is a fast-charging [[battery (electricity)|battery]], designed to [[rechargeable battery|recharge]] to 90% capacity<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.toshiba.com/csrpub/upload/page/100253/toshiba_environmentally_conscious_products.pdf|title=Toshiba’s SCiB – Charging ahead in battery innovations}}</ref> within 10 minutes.

The new battery developed by [[Toshiba]] could support 5&nbsp;000 to 6&nbsp;000 charge cycles and would be safer than classical [[Li-ion]] batteries. It does however have a huge drawback; it can only hold 48 Wh/kg (compared to 150-180 Wh/kg for ordinary Li-ion batteries).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.toshiba.com/csrpub/upload/page/100253/toshiba_environmentally_conscious_products.pdf|title=Toshiba}}</ref> In other words this isn't a battery which would power an electric car for any longer than 80 kilometers (assuming the car is outfitted with a 20 kWh battery pack with a weight of 417&nbsp;kg.) SCiB technology requires less material because it allows a full range of State of Charge from 0-100%, most other lithium chemistries limit SOC from 30-80%. This makes it ideal for automotive applications where any other lithium chemistry is used.<ref>http://www.greencarcongress.com/2008/05/toshiba-develop.html</ref>

Toshiba Corporation announced on 24 December 2008 plans to construct a new dedicated production facility for its safe, long-life rapid charge SCiB battery, in anticipation of strong future demand. By setting up a second production facility Toshiba expects to position itself for a surge in demand for SCiB for industrial and automotive applications from fiscal year 2010 on. Toshiba aims to start construction of the new facility in the Fall of 2009, and to start production in Fall 2010.

The SCIB is currently available on the Schwinn Tailwind electric bike <ref>http://www.schwinnelectricbikes.com/tailwind/electric_bike_technology.html</ref>.
