'''SCIB''' (Super Charge Ion Battery) is a trademark of [[Toshiba]], used to market its brand of [[Lithium-titanate battery]]. It is designed for fast-charging, and can [[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. Its [[lithium titanate]] (LTO) anode 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">[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>

The battery developed by [[Toshiba]] supports 5&nbsp;000 to 6&nbsp;000 [[charge cycle]]s. 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> 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>

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