Advanced Lithium Ion Systems for Military Vehicle Applications

Abstract

Li-ion is a relatively new battery technology that has been commercialized within the past 15 years for the portable electronics industry. Work has been undertaken to explore the high power capability of this technology. The results show that Li-Ion rechargeable products are capable of providing very high rate capability. Saft has developed a family of products that specifically address the electrical power requirements for manned and unmanned military vehicle applications. Saft's Li-Ion battery technology offers a broad range of capabilities to provide stored energy for applications requiring Silent Watch and power for Silent Mobility and advanced Hybrid Electric Propulsion.
