Lithos
Energy today announced the newest generation of high-voltage
liquid-cooled battery packs that offer improved energy density, safety
and can be rapidly scaled to high-volume production. Lithos Gen4
technology is a leap forward for battery pack capability and is now
included in the latest Lithos high-voltage battery packs. The newest
packs will be showcased at The Battery Show this week in Novi, Michigan.
“Lithos Gen4 Technology is a breakthrough for the electric vehicle and
industrial high-voltage battery market,” said James Meredith,
co-president of Lithos Energy. “We have combined the best attributes
from projects across multiple industries to offer significant
improvements in both energy and power density, in a product that is
rapidly scalable to high-volume production.”
Lithos Gen4 Technology is ideal for many applications including
autonomous vehicles, electric vehicles, robotics and marine applications
that require greater energy or power density. The technology offers
significant improvements including a 23 percent increase in specific
energy compared with previous generations.
Safety and reliability have also been improved with the new technology.
The advanced design is passively propagation resistant to prevent
thermal runaway and a redesigned liquid cooling system to improve
thermal consistency throughout the battery pack, extending operating
life. Copper interconnects, along with improved thermal management,
provide for longer peak-current pulse times with less voltage sag,
resulting in better vehicle performance. Taken together, these advances
allow Lithos High Voltage battery packs to operate in the most demanding
applications with a longer service life.
“We are very excited about this technology and what it means for the
industry,” said Meredith. “A safe, energy-dense, scalable solution is
now on offer, off-the-shelf, to power the next generation of electric
vehicles.”
The new technology is now in use on the Lithos High Voltage product line
and is available in four standard form factors, with variants for high
energy and high power. All Lithos Energy battery packs are designed and
assembled in the company’s California facility.
Lithos
high-voltage battery packs will be on display at The Battery Show &
Critical Power Expo in Novi, Michigan from Sept 11 through Sept 13 at
the Suburban Showplace Collective.
