C4V introduces LiSER, a cobalt- and nickel-free Li-ion cell technology with 40-50% higher energy density, 5 x more power density than LFP

Green Car Congress

Charge CCCV (C4V), a lithium ion battery technology company ( earlier post ), has introduced LiSER (Lithium Slim Energy Reserve), a novel cell technology platform. By using the in-house patented C4V’s BMLMP (bio-mineralized lithium mixed metal phosphate) technology, LiSER enables Li-ion cells at 3.9
