Electrovaya Inc. (TSX:EFL) (OTCQX:EFLVF) today announced certain advanced features have been added to its EV44 cell, including higher energy density and lower cobalt content. The cell, which has more than 44Ah of capacity and average output voltage of 3.7V, features improved temperature tolerance and cycle life. It can operate at continuous high charge/discharge rates and has been tested at 45oC, over hundreds of cycles, without external cooling. These advanced features will be available later in 2019.
Electrovaya believes the EV44 cell has one of the industry’s highest cycle lives for large format lithium ion pouch cells, as well as low parasitic reactions and excellent safety. The cell should further reinforce Electrovaya’s technology for intensive mission critical applications in electromobility such as electric forklifts, electric trucks and electric buses. These applications demand batteries with a combination of high cycle life, fast charging, high safety standards, excellent energy and power levels, as well as the ability to handle high temperature excursions.
