Each cell has a new 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.
Ake Almgren, International Battery chief executive officer said that, these modules are well-suited for customers seeking configurable, large energy storage systems in formats suitable for rapid integration.
The cells are monitored and balanced by the BMS and provide information to a controller directly or through a system 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 new modules and batteries will be on display at Advanced Automotive Battery Conference (AABC) in Long Beach, California, in booth number 801.
