'''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 battery uses a [[lithium titanate]] (LTO) in its anode , this supports fast charging even at low temperatures. The cells, however, have a lower voltage and capacity than other lithium-ion battery technologies.<ref name="greencar"/>

The new battery developed by [[Toshiba]] could support 5&nbsp;000 to 6&nbsp;000 [[charge cycle]]s and would be safer than classical [[Li-ion]] batteries. The [[energy density]] is 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> 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 name="greencar">[http://www.greencarcongress.com/2008/05/toshiba-develop.html Toshiba Developing 3.0 Ah High Power SCiB Li-Ion Cell for HEV Applications] 21 May 2008 Green Car Congress</ref>. It weights approx. 1.0 kg for 4.0 [[Ampere-hour|Ah]] and approx. 145 x 109 x 48mm size. <ref>http://www.scib.jp/en/product/spec.htm</ref> Toshiba uses a laser welded aluminium casing for tightness and reliability rather than a crimp or hermetic seal. <ref name="greencar"/>

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 2011.

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