The new know-how by the battery tech presents an prolonged lifespan with 80% capability retention

Pune-based KPIT Technologies, a companion to the automotive and mobility ecosystem, introduced its Sodium (Na)-ion battery know-how. The new know-how by the battery tech presents an prolonged lifespan with 80% capability retention for 3000-6000 cycles and quicker charging functionality as in comparison with lithium batteries. Its builds on and compliments KPIT experience in software program growth, integration and validation in car electrification area.

Key highlights of this sodium-ion battery know-how

• Extended lifespan with 80% capability retention for 3000 – 6000 cycles
• Multiple variants having distinct efficiency traits and vitality density starting from 100-170 Wh/Kg
• Faster charging than widespread lithium batteries
• Superior sub-zero temperature tolerance
• Excellent high-temperature tolerance with minimal thermal administration
• Enhanced Safety
• Substantially cut back the price of possession and improve the car uptime, thereby growing earnings

This battery know-how guarantees to cut back import dependency on core battery supplies. It has a number of use-cases for automotive and mobility, particularly for electrical two and 3-wheelers and industrial automobiles. It has varied functions in stationary deployments, corresponding to UPS backups and grid storage, in addition to within the marine and defence sectors.

This demonstrates the synergetic industry-academia collaboration between KPIT and the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune. The IISER Pune group led by Satishchandra Ogale by means of this have made their contributions to materials synthesis, characterization and battery testing.

Commenting on this announcement, Ravi Pandit, co-founder and chairman of KPIT applied sciences, mentioned, “Sustainability is at the heart of KPIT’s vision. We are working on multiple technologies to reimagine mobility and accelerate the push towards cleaner transportation. As the electric mobility ecosystem matured, we were cognizant of having alternate battery technologies and localising the storage value chain. Our Sodium-ion battery technology, completely reliant on Earth’s abundant raw materials, is another testament to KPIT’s commitment towards the sustainable mobility ecosystem. We look forward to partnering with manufacturing companies to commercialise this technology globally.”

KPIT has a robust foothold in software program growth, integration and validation for Electrification packages for international automotive leaders. Additionally, KPIT has been transferring in direction of sustainable and environment friendly vitality storage system simulation, design, growth and integration for over 9 years. A group of PhDs and MTechs in supplies science and electrochemistry are behind the a number of international.

It has patents within the battery area, 500K+ cycles of information examined on completely different chemistries and kind elements, 500+ cell prototypes fabricated, 100+ production-intent cells fabricated and examined. As a core know-how firm, KPIT will proceed to work on battery know-how. Thus, it’s inviting companions to fabricate and commercialize this know-how.
