Advantages of Nichicon Batteries
- Rapid charging: Our board-mount batteries can discharge and recharge much faster than standard lithium-ion batteries. A traditional lithium-ion battery may take about an hour to charge while our LTO batteries can charge in about 3 minutes at the same current value. Our LTO batteries are ideal for applications that need a small, high-powered battery.
- Micro size: Our small, cylindrical LTO board-mount batteries are our smallest ever at 3 millimeters and they have a small footprint so they can be used for space constrained applications.
- Long life: Our high-cycle life battery can last for more than 25,000 charge/discharge cycles. They are resistant to over-charging and over-discharging. The use of lithium titanate in LTO batteries also results in a longer life as the lithium ions are less likely to be consumed by the electrolyte.
- Maintenance free: Our board-mount batteries require no maintenance.
- Sustainable: These batteries are designed to be environmentally responsible and adhere to international standards such as RoHS regulations, meeting stringent standards for operation.
- High power density: The high-power density input/output of our LTO batteries is higher than typical lithium-ion batteries and approaches the capabilities of electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs).
- High safety: Our LTO batteries can operate in harsh conditions and temperatures with a very low risk of ignition or explosion.
- Low temperature: These low temperature batteries can be charged and discharged at temperatures as low as -30°C as the lithium titanate does not experience thermal runaway at these temperatures that can lead to oxygen combustion reactions like in standard lithium-ion batteries.
- High discharge: Our high discharge batteries can fully discharge in about 3 minutes compared to about an hour for standard lithium-ion batteries.
- UL 1642 & IEC 62133-2 certified
- ISO 9001 & ISO 14001 certified
Application Areas
Our LTO Batteries is ideal for use in numerous applications, including but not limited to:
