Leclanche, a Swiss battery company, has developed a new lithium ion pouch cell with a capacity of 65 Ah. The cell has a voltage of 3.6 V and a weight of 250 g. The cell is designed for use in electric vehicles (EVs).
- Advantages:
- The cell has a high capacity, which means it can store more energy than other cells of the same size.
- The cell is lightweight, making it easier to integrate into EVs.
- The cell has a low self-discharge rate, meaning it will retain its charge for longer.
- Disadvantages:
- The cell is expensive, due to its high capacity.
Despite its high cost, the new cell from Leclanche is promising, and could be a game-changer for the EV industry.
