LONDON, January 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
Epsilor, an internationally recognised developer and
manufacturer of mobile energy products for defence and aerospace
applications, will showcase its lithium-ion 6T NATO-standard
battery product line at International Armoured Vehicles (IAV) 2019,
which will take place in London
January 21-24, 2019.
Epsilor's 6T type batteries, which offer the highest energy
density in the market, will be presented at Booth A5. The company
will also present its 12V/110Ah (1.45kWh) LiFePO4 battery.
The innovative 6T battery is currently being evaluated and field
tested by industrial clients and armed forces in five NATO
countries. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) recently completed a
year-long testing process during which Epsilor's 6T was evaluated
in different climate and field conditions (desert, mountains, rocky
areas, etc.).
Epsilor's lithium-ion vehicular battery family of products is
the optimal replacement for traditional lead-acid batteries,
offering four times the energy and approximately half the weight of
lead-acid batteries of similar size. The advanced batteries serve a
wide range of applications in the automotive, military and marine
markets - wherever the conditions are challenging, and weight and
volume considerations are paramount.
At the conference, Epsilor will present for the first time an
improved version of the 6T which meets the requirements of the
MIL-PRF-32565A Amendment 1 for rechargeable, sealed, 6T lithium-ion
batteries issued by the US Army Tank Automotive Research
Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC).
During the event, Ori
Kost, Epsilor's Large Format Battery Program Manager,
will give a presentation entitled "Safe high capacity 6T lithium
ion battery."
Epsilor's 6T has an extremely long operational and cycle life
which results in a significantly lower environmental and logistic
footprint. The 6T batteries are optimised for next generation
armoured vehicles (MBT, tracked and wheeled IFV) and designed as
drop-in replacements for traditional lead-acid batteries in legacy
vehicle fleets. They are particularly attractive due to their
independent charge current regulation feature which enables these
batteries to perform safely and continuously even without
communication with the host platform.
"The fact that our 6T product family is being evaluated by many
parties is a clear indication of the great interest our solutions
draw," said Epsilor president Ronen Badichi. "At the
International Armoured Vehicles trade show and conference, we look
forward to meeting with new clients who need a smart drop-in
replacement for traditional batteries."
