Breakthrough lithium ion battery technology - Electric Vehicles Research
Unlike lead acid or other advanced battery technologies, it is designed to maintain long cycle life at extreme high temperatures and deliver high power at extreme low temperatures. According to the testing performed to date at the Ohio State University's Center for Automotive Research (CAR) and the very low observed rate of aging, cells built with A123's Nanophosphate EXT are expected to be capable of retaining more than 90 percent of initial capacity after 2,000 full charge-discharge cycles at 45 degrees Celsius. CAR has also starting testing the cold temperature performance of the technology, which A123 expects will deliver a 20 percent increase in power at temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius.
