The lithium-ion battery comprises 168 prismatic cells and is liquid-cooled. Its emphasis is on lithium-ion battery systems, which are put together using a flexible, modular concept. Their outer skin is made from aluminum-coated polymer and this in turn brings weight advantages. With a capacity of 17.3 Click to enlarge.
