Introducing the Toshiba SCiBTM 2.9Ah, a compact prismatic format cell and a game-changer for various applications, as it boasts an impressive 2.91 kW/kg power density.
The LTO chemistry in this SCiBTM (Super Charge ion Battery) cell offers excellent thermal stability and chemical safety, reducing the risk of overheating and fire hazards - an essential characteristic for electric mobility and drone applications, for example.
As reported by Toshiba, the 2.9Ah cell can be charged from 0 to over 80% SOC in one minute. Designed for endurance, it also maintains over 80% of its initial capacity even after 40,000 cycles at high temperatures and C-rates. This ensures reliability and long-term performance without the degradation often seen in traditional lithium-ion batteries (Source)

Given the urgent need for cells with ultra-low internal resistance for many application scenarios such as eVTOLs, electric two-wheelers and portable storage, we just integrated two new 21700 cells that boost the technical level of cylindrical cells by adopting the innovative design of tabless current collection:
The INR2170-45D(B) from BAK’s full-tab 2170 cell series checks in at 248 Wh/kg and 2.12 kW/kg, while the EVE Energy 21700 40PL is designed towards even more power: With 233 Wh/kg and 2.35 kW/kg, the 40PL extends the technology front of 21700 cells in the Batemo Cell Explorer.

From high-energy to high-power, the following 5 freshly added cells contribute to the advancement of 18650 technology in terms of their energy density or power capabilities.
Far East Battery (FEB) 18650-3800mAh: Sitting at the peak of high energy cylindrical cells with a gravimetric energy density of 287 Wh/kg.
Other additions are the Tenpower INR18650-35HE and the DMEGC INR18650-30P, a more versatile cell. Lastly, the Molicel INR18650-P28B and -P30B show a high power density, which Molicel is well-known for.

The market in high performance 21700 cells is evolving at an incredible pace and the brand-new A-sample from V4Drive of their 21700HEP-5.X offers a glimpse into the future: Combining 261 Wh/kg with 2.1 kW/kg, it redefines the performance limits for 21700 cells and surpasses the previous technological front of 21700 cells in the Batemo Cell Explorer.
It’s fascinating to witness how these breakthroughs in technology pave the way for electrification, laying a crucial foundation for the energy transition.

The Ampace 4872A0 and the Melasta SLPBA842126HV may be on the smaller scale when it comes to pouch cells, but they are big in performance!
Pouch cells are widely recognized for their use in large-scale automotive and energy storage system (ESS) formats. However, applications with volume and weight limitations such as for power tools and motorsports, actively use them too.
The combination of high power and high energy capabilities allows pouch cells to surpass the technology front of 21700 and 18650 cells.

We are excited to announce three prismatic cells from established Chinese manufacturers: The BYD C45F-302Ah cell with LFP chemistry as well as the CALB L221N113 and CALB L221N147A based on NMC. These cells target applications such as stationary storage, where reliability and safety are the most important KPIs.
Their placement in the Ragone plot are correlated with the cathode chemistries, with the C45F-302Ah being comparable to other LFP prismatic cells we measured.

We added two ultra-high-power battery cells to the Batemo Cell Explorer, the 26700 NCA GF and 26700 NCA GL both from A123 Systems.
These cells surpass all existing cells in terms of volumetric and gravimetric power density and set a new benchmark.
It is exciting what is possible with NCA chemistry for ultra high-power applications such as motorsports and F1.

We are excited to announce that Molicel’s latest innovation, the INR21700-P50B high power cell, extends the existing technology front of cylindrical cells and places above its well-known predecessor, the P45B in our Cell Explorer!
Nice job, E-One Moli Energy! We are already excited to see the range of applications that benefit from adopting these high-performance batteries.

We are eager to share the integration of the first sodium-ion battery, NaCr26700-MP3.0(A) from HiNa Battery, into the Batemo Cell Explorer!
With this sodium ion technology, plating as a major limiter of fast charging is avoided altogether.
Additionally, Na-Ion is more thermally stable than lithium-ion, allowing us to test the cell from +40 °C to -40 °C.
Sodium itself is a widely abundant raw material, which can be a cost effective and safer alternative to lithium.
