Navitas Systems receives $1.55M contract for 2nd-gen 6T Li-ion battery; double energy density, +50% power density

Green Car Congress

The 12V version can be used in either military or in commercial starting/deep cycle applications. The features of the new technology will ultimately address long cycle and calendar life, high charge acceptance rate, reduced weight and an intelligent battery management system designed to maximize the performance of the overall system.

most deep cycle batts. If I were a better engineer, or designer I could have planned for a standard length of these connectors. I placed 4 in the front compartment and the other 16 in the bed. The technical problems that I encountered were in figuring out how to mount the tie downs for the batteries. in the end.

Axion supplying PbC batteries to Norfolk Southern for all-battery switcher and working on line-haul hybrid locomotives; micro-hybrid and stationary expansion

Green Car Congress

Compared to advanced lead-acid batteries, the PbC batteries: Support higher [10-20x] charge acceptance and faster recharge [5-10x] in partial state-of-charge (PSOC) applications; Offer an 4x increase in cycle life in 100% depth-of-discharge applications; and. The topography of a particular line thus becomes critical.
