Ultra-large-format Li-Ion Batteries have modular format.
June 23, 2009 -
Nested, Slim, and Wide classes of modules for Li-Ion batteries are able to supply up to 4 kW/hr of storage. Modules create energy storage system incorporating 8 International Battery cells, each with Battery Management System board, and can be connected in series or parallel configurations. System can accommodate 30 modules for maximum voltage of 760 V and can incorporate any of company's cells ranging from 40-200 Ah capacity per cell.
International Battery Introduces High-Power Modular Packaging for Its Ultra-Large-Format Lithium Batteries
See Them at the Advanced Automotive Battery Conference (AABC), in Booth #801
Allentown, PA - June 10, 2009 - International Battery (www.internationalbatteryinc.com), a U.S. manufacturer, designer, and developer of large-format lithium-ion rechargeable cells and batteries, today announced the introduction of three classes of standardized modules for its ultra-large-format lithium batteries - Nested, Slim and Wide - to accommodate various customer-specific geometries. Each module can supply up to 4 kilowatt-hours of storage.
These new modules create an energy storage system that incorporates eight large format International Battery cells connected in series. Each cell has a unique recognizable Battery Management System (BMS) board. Modules can be connected in series or parallel configurations to meet the desired voltage and energy requirements. The system can accommodate 30 modules for a maximum voltage of 760 Volts and can incorporate any of the company's cells ranging from 40 to 200 Ah capacity per cell.
"These modules are well-suited for customers seeking highly configurable, large energy storage systems in formats suitable for rapid integration," said International Battery CEO Ake Almgren.
The cells are monitored and balanced by the BMS and provide information to a controller directly or through a systems' control board that International Battery can provide. The BMS has sufficient intelligence to determine any pre-determined safety or operational non-conformance and provide for reliable implementation of a latchable interlock system.
International Battery presently offers six cell models in two chemistries, where the basic (pre-packaged) cells offer performance at or beyond industry standards, achieving energy densities of: 154 Wh/kg and 278 Wh/Liter in the 740 Wh 200 Ah lithium nickel cobalt manganese cell, or 107 Wh/kg and 192 Wh/Liter in the 512 Wh 160 Ah lithium iron phosphate cell.
The company's innovative modules and batteries will be on display at this week's Advanced Automotive Battery Conference (AABC) in Long Beach, Calif., in booth number 801.
The company's Allentown, Pa., factory is the first purpose-built commercial manufacturer of next-generation large-format lithium ion batteries in the United States, and is helping to reverse the offshore flow of manufacturing capability. The company's technology was originally based on an exclusive license from an established leading-edge Chinese battery manufacturing company. International Battery has subsequently further developed both the cell design and fabrication processes.
