Large Lithium Ion Cells and Packs Update

Large lithium ion cells and packs Update
We have been selling large lithium ion cells and packs more than four years. They have mostly been military, military contractors, the builders of robots, autonomous underwater vehicles, and other similar projects where the client needs to store a large amount of energy in a small space and weight, but for whom life and reliability are secondary factors.

However, I was never happy with the batteries. He did not like being discharged quickly, often did not last many cycles and had a tendency to swell irreversible and plastic cases were able to stop water vapor diffuse through them in
skype phone the electrolyte, then causing gases to form. Sometimes the laboratory will be dead on arrival by the customer. So I tried to dissuade most potential customers, hoping that the quality can be improved, but in four years to significantly change anything. In particular, I was not prepared to recommend these cells quickly for engineers who are developing products that require a reliable battery and a reliable source of supply.

Last March he was visiting a friend who was the general manager of a lithium battery factory in China. I told him he was selling large cell, but I did not like the quality of engineering or production of these cells and was eager to develop a better battery for our customers. He explained to me why the cells that were sold were poorly designed. We talked about our needs and he agreed to partner with us to make and sell large cells of AH 12 and AH 60. In the first of May we had cells ready for sale.

My friend has a doctorate in chemistry from the battery of a university in Europe and has many years of experience in design and manufacture of batteries while working for companies in the U.S. and China.

I am very happy with the results. What finally sealed rectangular cells are large boxes sealed in stainless steel. Since they were designed and tested by an engineer who is an expert in performance and reliability that can be truly considered a great leap forward in the state of the art. 3C will be made reliable flows are designed to have a long life cycle (even though they are so new they do not have data for the entire life to date), and do not swell when loading or unloading.

We also now have a battery cell balance board that can be produced for the management of any number of cells. We can design and produce a new configuration within 3-5 weeks with no minimum order required. The variety of capacity has been expanded to include 12AH, 15AH, 18AH, 60Ah and 80Ah. These are placed in parallel to form 24Ah, 30Ah, 36AH, 120AH 160AH and packages or more. We have made 120 packages of AH a national laboratory and asked to cells and packs in several applications.

We also have chargers 160 feet usb cordless phone for skype designed around a platform that can be easily modified to charge different cell arrays available in the same period of time with no minimum order.

The more experience I get with them, the happier I am. Finally, we have a large number of Li-ion cells that are alternatives to commercial products.
