HOUSTON -- Halliburton has developed a new type of rechargeable battery chemistry, said Michael Fripp with Halliburton at the 2008 Offshore Technology Conference today in Houston. He continued to say the molten salt rechargeable battery operates from room temperature to 130° and survives to 150°.
Fripp says these batteries offer an alternative power for battery-powered downhole tools that improve the performance of downhole tools by offering rechargeable performance but also improved safety through no explosive venting.
