CALB reveals high-density battery with 25-year lifecycle

The battery maker says its upgraded CALB 314Ah Cell now contains lithium replenishment technology that extends its lifespan to 15,000 charge cycles, noting that this is equivalent to a 25-year lifecycle. CALB guarantees that the upgraded battery solution has zero degradation in the first 1,000 charging cycles. The Chinese energy storage solution specialist says the CALB 314Ah has been put through extensive optimizations that have increased its usable energy by 12 per cent with a round-trip efficiency that reaches 96 per cent.

CALB has designed the 314Ah to be scalable, highlighting the fact that the product can be customized for the specific requirements of diverse commercial applications. The battery maker also offers air- and liquid-cooled battery solutions with capacities of up to 6.58 MWh, as well as small-scale commercial products of up to 425 kWh. Just when suppliers and the shipping industry are having to deal with increased emissions reporting, CALB is offering battery products for maritime applications featuring increased weight reduction and up to 10,000 charge cycles.

Founded in 2015, CALB is now listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The company has rapidly gained a position among China’s top battery makers with robust supply chains, R&D and production operations across Jiangsu, Fujian, Sichuan, Hubei, Anhui, and Guangdong provinces.

This European focus, as well as revealing its new battery solution in the USA, marks a new phase of international collaboration with its globalisation push. Earlier this year, the battery cell supplier signed agreements with French company Forsee Power, which assembles purchased cells into battery systems for use in electric buses and electric buses, but also for electric buses.

A year electric buses a strategic cooperation agreement with the German BMZ Group to develop and produce lithium-ion batteries for use in electric commercial vehicles for markets in Europe, America and Asia-Pacific. But this is not the only German connection for the Chinese battery maker.
