Is the C4V Battery a Game Changer
Posted On: February 3, 2022

The race to find the perfect match in battery chemistry has led university teams and private companies around the world, including Tesla, obviously, to research multiple possible pathways. One of those companies, "C,4,V,", just introduced an interesting alternative to Lithium-Iron batteries, with L,F,P, properties but way more efficient.


It is basically a type of structural cell in prismatic format, capable of adapting to different shapes and sizes depending on the application: it can be used in cars, motorcycles, and even electric planes, thanks to its high energy density, specific power, and high thermal stability.


"LiSER: a revolutionary advancement in Li-ion battery technology", as they state on their website, comes with the industry's first structural prismatic cell design, with a refrigeration circuit to facilitate operations over a wide range of temperature scenarios: from -40 to +194 F ( -40° to +90° Celsius), something that provides greater efficiency at low temperatures, but also compatibility with ultra-fast recharging. The modules come with a solid structural design that allows for a high level of mechanical stability. Design modularity allows the manufacturer to meet the needs of the market in both small-sized applications, k.W.h., and large installations, M.w.h; with the additional advantage of operating without any danger of losses in power or energy density.

My Take: Sounds promising. Can they take it from the lab to mass production? That is the tricky part.
