DIMONA, Israel, September 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Epsilor, a world-recognized developer and manufacturer of
battery packs and chargers for defense and aerospace applications,
has launched a new lithium rechargeable 6T battery product
line.
Developed in partnership with a strategic customer, the new
batteries are designed primarily for the next generation of armored
vehicles, but are also suitable as drop-in replacements for
traditional lead-acid batteries.
Epsilor will present the new product line at Booth N8-380 at the
Defense and Security Equipment International (DSEI) show, which
will take place in London on
September 12-15, 2017.
Epsilor's new 6T offers superior performance in comparison to
the first generation lithium batteries currently being
offered.
Epsilor's 6T batteries come in two main configurations:
- Li-Ion-based 4.3kWh (176Ah) battery with the highest energy
density in the market
- LiFePO4-based 2.0kWh (80Ah) battery, a high-power super-safe
battery with a superior life cycle
Epsilor's 6T batteries have the following advantages:
- Best-in-class energy density in the Li-Ion configuration for
extremely long silent watch
- More than 3,000 charging cycles and up to a 10-year operational
life in the LiFePO4 configuration
- Drop-in replacement for lead-acid batteries
- Self-balancing, self-charging and charge current management
capability that support smooth operation of new vehicles as well as
older generation vehicles
- Serial and parallel connectivity with additional batteries
supporting group operation
The new product line is fully exempt from US Department of State
defense export regulations (ITAR), making it available to a wide
range of international defense customers.
"Our new 6T product family is designed to meet the needs of the
fast developing market of modern armored vehicles with extended
silent watch and more efficient fuel consumption," said Epsilor
president Ronen Badichi.
"These smart drop-in replacements for traditional batteries are
a perfect solution for new vehicles as well as for retrofit and
modernization programs of existing armored fleets in NATO and in
other advanced land forces."
"We take great pride in the fact that we are one of only a
handful of manufacturers that offer lithium 6T batteries," he
added.
