LiSER advances lithium-ion battery tech

Lithium slim energy reserve (LiSER) has been introduced as a nickel and cobalt free cell technology platform.

The LiSER from New York-based battery technology company Charge CCCV (C4V) is claimed a revolutionary advancement in Li-ion battery technology with improved cost efficiency due to the elimination of these metals as well as up to 50% higher energy density and five times more power.

As such it is expected to significantly impact the electric vehicle market in particular among others, where these factors are important drivers of uptake in a burgeoning market.

“This technology not only allows our BM-LMP chemistry to compete with cobalt and nickel-based batteries at the pack level but also enables giga scale production to be more sustainable with our breakthrough high-speed manufacturing processes,” says C4V CEO Shailesh Upreti.

“A leading cell to pack or cell to chassis design that can bridge the gap between energy density and power density in a very safe mechanism would allow us to cater to various market verticals with a single cell technology platform.”

Stated features of LiSER include an in-house patented battery cell design that allows OEMs to bypass modules and build the pack directly.

A tabless advanced prismatic cell design has an in-situ cooling loop, eliminating the need for complicated thermal management systems and consequently reducing both the weight and energy consumption of the battery pack

The tethered edges of the module come with a solid structural design that enables mechanical stability. The design’s high modularity allows catering to stringent market requirements (kWh or MWh) without any bias for power or energy needs.

The platform also offers designs that include long and slim cells with super-fast charge and discharge capabilities without losing the energy density benefits.
