Kokam’s Reliable Lithium Ion NANO Battery Technology Avoids Thermal

June 13, 2016 Sam Murden



Kokam, the world’s premier provider of innovative battery solutions, has conducted ballistic tests on battery cells using its unique Lithium Ion NANO battery technology and determined that even when these cells are shot they do not experience thermal runaway.
This test helps demonstrate how Kokam’s NANO battery technology provides the defense industry with extremely safe and reliable battery solutions, able to withstand temperatures ranging from -40 to 60 degrees Celsius, for unmanned systems, armed fighting vehicles, support vehicles, submarines and other demanding military applications.
Kokam created the exceptionally stable NANO battery technology by integrating three different lithium-ion battery chemistries — Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC), Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) — into a single battery. By combining the advantages of these three battery chemistries, NANO battery solutions are able to deliver industry-leading levels of reliability in highly volatile environments, while also discharging at a 10 C-rate (Continuous) / 15 C-rate (Pulse) and charging at a 5 C-rate (Continuous) / 14 C-rate (Pulse).
In addition to supporting or supplementing diesel and other engines, the NANO battery can also replace or be used instead of these engines, providing a silent energy source for sensitive defense missions
Its Ultra High Energy NMC battery solutions have an industry leading energy density of more than 260 watt hours per kilogram (Wh/kg), enabling manufacturers to pack more energy into their defense systems, allowing them to extend the operating times of military Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and drones, Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs), Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) and other defense systems without increasing the weight or size of these systems’ batteries.
