The lithium-ion battery will be used in both the Scrambler and the R1e electric minicar. Rumor has it also that Subaru will be selling these battery pack units to Toyota in exchange for using Toyota's hybrid technology in order to bring hybrid Subaru's to market early.
The Subaru lithium-ion battery is touted as having the capability of being recharged to 90-percent capacity within 5 minutes. Subaru has developed the new battery in cooperation with NEC Corporation in their joint venture company called NEC Lamilion Energy Ltd. By integrating NEC's laminate cell technology with Subaru's (Fuji Heavy Inc.'s) battery pack technology, the new company aims to develop a rechargeable battery that sets the global standard. NEC has already developed and is producing a high-security manganese lithium-ion cell with laminate packaging technology for watches and mobile terminals.
