Licerion® Electric Vehicle (EV) technology demonstrating more than 2500 cycles to 70% of initial capacity
Michael Canada is tasked with the planning and execution of scaling manufacturing to support the supply of Licerion® Electric Vehicle (EV) battery cells for current and future commercial partners in the electric vehicle market.
Cummins, a global leader in the development of powertrains and powertrain-related components, to design and supply battery cells based on its proprietary Licerion® Electric Vehicle (EV) lithium metal technology for commercial electric vehicle applications.
“This is a watershed moment for Sion Power’s push toward next-generation electrified vehicles,” says Mr. Tracy Kelley, CEO of Sion Power
Although we have seen many high-energy battery companies in the news, few of them claim to produce cells in high-capacity commercial sizes.
The Licerion cells completed 1000 cycles, which means the Stratobus could stay aloft continuously for more than two years. The high energy density of the Licerion cells can provide all the energy needed without compromising payload capacity.
Through optimization of its protected lithium anode (PLA) and advanced electrolyte formulations, Sion Power performed tests on 1.8 Ah cells, which resulted in 800 full depth of discharge cycles to 70% capacity. Sion Power projects Licerion EV will have 420 Wh/kg and 700 Wh/L when scaled to commercial design. Charge times of 15 minutes to 100% state of charge were repeatedly demonstrated with 99.7% efficiency.
Sion Power®, the technology leader in high-energy, lithium-metal rechargeable batteries, announces the UN DOT 38.3 certification of their Licerion 6 Ah cell. MGA Research Corporation, located in Akron, New York, participated in the majority of testing used in the certification process. Under Article UN 38.3, cells are subjected to numerous safety and abuse tests to…
Sion Power, the technology leader in high-energy, lithium metal rechargeable batteries, announces the groundbreaking of a new battery test facility at its Tucson, Arizona facility. The new facility will encompass over 5,300 square feet and will include more than 3,000 cell test channels, abuse room with safety test equipment, and an altitude chamber. Sion Power’s…
