SCIB

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 recharge to 90% capacity^[2] 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.^[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].
