SCIB (Super Charge Ion Battery) TBP Series 24 V 4.2 Ah[1]

SCIB (Super Charge Ion Battery) is a fast-charging battery, designed to recharge to 90% capacity[2] 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.[3]

The battery developed by Toshiba supports 5 000 to 6 000 charge cycles. The energy density is 48 Wh/kg (compared to 150-180 Wh/kg for ordinary Li-ion batteries).[4] It weights approx. 1.0 kg for 4.0 Ah and approx. 145 x 109 x 48mm size. [5]

The SCIB is currently available on the Schwinn Tailwind electric bike[6].
