New energy storage from Russia

The engineers of the Russian company Liotech-Innovations designed and manufactured an energy storage device in an aluminum housing. Its capacity is 72 Ah. The drive has a whole list of interesting qualities.

New battery saves longer charge. Such devices are most often used in the automotive industry. If we consider that developers from around the world constantly offer a large number of new models of electric cars, we can expect that the company has all the opportunities to occupy a solid niche in the market.

The key advantages of a new battery include its small size, low contact resistance and heat dissipation. Large companies showed interest in new drives. Potential customers include organizations such as Volgabas and Trolza. The first company produces electric buses, the second is producing trolleybuses.

Liotech-Innovations has other, more powerful product samples at its disposal. The conversation is about energy storage devices with a capacity of 270 Ah and 170 Ah. That is, Russian engineers have developed a whole line of new batteries.

The launch of products into production is expected to begin in the second half of 2019.

In the process of product development, some technical details were used, for example, a welded was used instead of a bolt joint at the contact points. This decision led to a decrease in contact resistance.

Experts have found a solution to reduce the heating of the cells and significantly increase the number of charge / discharge cycles. Earlier in such products used cells made of plastic. The use of aluminum allowed to raise the energy density, it is important during the operation of electric vehicles.
