Saft’s VLA very high power rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells have been developed to meet the needs of high power and civil applications. The first cell in the range – the VL6A - is ideal for applications that require peak power, such as wind turbine blade pitch control.
Main applications
Ultra high performance civilian applications
replacement for super capacitors
wind turbine pitch control
launchers
Benefits
excellent power density and specific power
power capability at low temperatures
maintenance-free
long cycle-life (80% of initial capacity remaining after 5,000 cycles at 100% DOD
over 500,000 cycles during shallow cycling (with state of charge reducing by around 3%)
projected 15 years service life
no memory effect
integral safety vent
To maximize performance and ensure total safety, Saft integrates individual Li-ion cells both mechanically and electrically into battery systems that are designed to the specific needs of each application. These battery systems incorporate electronics for the control and monitoring of performance, thermal and safety management.
