Enerdel Design

Design

First developed to serve the hybrid (HEV), Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), and Full Electric (EV) vehicle market, our technology can extend seamlessly into industries such as energy grid infrastructure, military, marine, aerospace, and other emerging markets.

We integrate the use of multiple chemistries with a prismatic cell design and stacking architecture for complete energy solutions that are superior on the bases of performance, longevity, and safety.

Chemistries

Our particular lithium-ion chemistries were chosen and developed with the emphasis on achieving the safest and most dependable lithium-ion batteries on the market. They work reliably over a broad range of temperatures and can operate even as low as -30º Celsius.

With multiple patented technologies at our disposal, we can tailor solutions to suit the distinct requirements of each application. Our HEV cells focus on power, providing ultra-high discharge capacity, with more than a 50 C-rate continuous discharge possible, while our EV and PHEV cells offer higher energy density combined with good power characteristics to provide long run time capability. The right chemistry assures quick acceleration, regenerative braking advantages, increased distance, and an overall superior driving experience.

Safety is an element in all our formulas. Our chemistries include cathodes of Lithium Manganese Oxide, which is extremely stable due to its spinel structure, and anodes of Lithium Titanate to prevent the thermal problems that sometimes occur in lithium-ion batteries. Our multiple combinations make for safe and abuse-tolerant lithium-ion cells.

Prismatic Packaging

We package our chemistries in flat, prismatic cells with foil casings instead of the old standard cylindrical metal cans. Our batteries achieve on average a 50% reduction in size and a 35% reduction in weight versus NiMH packs while delivering more power and energy. The prismatic cell design allows for optimal heat dissipation from the cell, keeping the battery cool during operation and thereby extending battery life.

Stacking Architecture

Our architecture adds its own performance advantages. The systems themselves are compact and modular in design, enabling more efficient methods of integration into the vehicle. We utilize multiple configurations and design software that complement our proprietary thermal system, allowing for effective thermal management. Air cooling is planned in most configurations, but systems can be customized with liquid-to-air or liquid cooling to best meet the customer’s needs. Our compact energy systems allow for safer, longer lasting, and ultimately more cost-efficient energy solutions.

Safety

At EnerDel, safety is a priority. From the selection of the lithium-ion chemistry, through the design and manufacturing of the cell, to the assembly of the module and full battery pack, we design robust packaging and built-in system control redundancies to assure enhanced system and user protection.
