Electrovaya Inc. (TSX: EFL) today announced the launch of its “MN-Series” Lithium Ion SuperPolymer® battery technology.

The MN-Series Lithium Ion SuperPolymer® technology will complement Electrovaya’s existing roster of Phosphate-Series and (industry standard) Cobaltate-Series Lithium Ion SuperPolymer® technology solutions.

It is particularly well suited to large-format battery system demands with its superior energy density, power and safety characteristics and we’re pleased to offer it as part of our integrated power system solution offerings.”
