Panasonic’s Powdered-Battery Tech Could Ease EV Range Anxiety, Speed Up Charge Times

Sila is looking it “Titan Silicon.” To Wired, Gene Berdichevsky mentioned: “Titan Silicon is a nanocomposite material. It’s like raisin bread, where the raisins are the silicon, and there’s the squishy matrix around the raisins with a big outer rind on the particle itself. The rind holds the space, and the bread moves aside when the raisins expand. The scaffold is not holding the silicon—it’s accommodating the expansion.” 

According to Panasonic, silicon-based batteries will permit upwards of 10 occasions the capability of older lithium- and graphite-based batteries. If that involves fruition anytime quickly (and that is an enormous “if”), it may possibly doubtlessly change how EVs are perceived, pushed, and charged. 

Currently, there are not any concrete plans as to the place or when this expertise will hit the mainstream, except for the upcoming Mercedes G-Class. However, in a press launch, Panasonic says it is focusing its efforts on North America for EV battery manufacturing.

How To Connect An Amazon Fire Stick To Wired Ethernet

If you want to connect your Amazon Fire Stick to a wired ethernet connection, you will need to get a wired ethernet adapter for your Fire Stick. Unfortunately, none of the Amazon Fire Stick models have an ethernet port built into the device, so you will always need an adapter.

Once you have the adapter, you will need to do the following to connect your Fire Stick to the wired ethernet:

  1. Plug the ethernet cable into the adapter.
  2. Connect the adapter to your Amazon Fire Stick.
  3. Connect your Fire Stick to your display.

To set up your new wired connection, follow these steps:

  1. Turn on your TV and start the Fire Stick.
  2. Go to Settings and select Network.
  3. Choose the new wired connection.

If your home network has advanced security settings, you might need to manually configure the internet settings. To do this, press the Select button on the Fire Stick remote and enter your home network details manually.
