Advanced Cell Chemistry (ACC) refers to a new generation of advanced storage technologies with much higher energy densities (both volumetric and gravimetric) than conventional ones as well as capabilities for power output/charge acceptance that are an order of magnitude higher than traditional batteries. As in conventional technologies, these too store electric energy as chemical energy and convert it to electric energy as and when required.

Lithium has one of the highest specific energies among various elements at 43 MJ/kg (gasoline at 46.4 MJ/kg is comparable). Lithium-ion batteries (with energy densities of 0.360-0.954 MJ/kg and 0.90-2.49 MJ/ltr) offer the possibility of lightweight and compact sources of electrical energy. This has led to Lithium-ion batteries gaining popularity in a variety of weight-sensitive applications or where space is a constraint across consumer electronics devices, spacecraft, aircraft and mobility. Recent advancements have also enhanced the life cycle of Lithium-ion batteries making these a highly viable alternative for powering transportation, general mobility, material handling and energy storage applications with a very competitive “Levelized Cost of Energy” (LCoE).

Nsure Energy has adopted the LFP chemistry in preference to NMC and other chemistries. The major advantage of this technology is that it offers greater thermal stability, resulting in safer batteries that last longer, are more affordable, and more importantly, more suitable for the Indian tropical climate.

As these cells will not contain metals such as nickel or cobalt, this reduces the risk of fire significantly and it mitigates the environmental impact of used end-of-life cells.

Our approach will be aimed at making the largest possible cells for various applications in order to minimize the overall cost per cycle and increase in the energy density at a pack level.
