Solar Impulse 2 used Kokam Ultra High Energy NMC batteries in round-the-world solar flight

Green Car Congress

In addition, Kokam’s Ultra High Energy NMC batteries have a 96% efficiency, meaning less energy is wasted when the batteries charge or discharge. In addition, a few adjustments have been made to the engine housing, which shelters both the battery and engine: an air vent was added to let air flow into the battery’s cooling system.
