Features

Next-generation high-capacity nickel-metal hydride batteries GIGACELL deliver instantaneous power and are capable of rapid charging and discharging. Battery Power Systems (BPS) for railroads help save energy and enable train operation in the case of power outages during disasters. They also help to stabilize natural energy sources such as solar and wind power generation. These earth-friendly batteries are designed with the environment in mind and contribute to efficient energy use and reduction of CO2 emissions.
     High Scalability
  • The bipolar 3D design allows for the increase of both the number and capacity of cells in each module. Batteries of extremely large capacities could be made.
    •  Rapid Charge and Discharge
  • Low internal resistance enables fast charging and discharging.
    •  Excellent Cycle Durability
  • Designed to withstand frequent cycles of short, rapid charging and discharging.
    •  Environmentally Friendly
  • No lead, mercury, cadmium or other toxic materials are used.
    •  Simple and Safe
  • Temperature remains relatively low during operation, so there are no restrictions for the installation of the battery. Water-based electrolyte is used, eliminating the risk of fire.
    •  Easy to Recycle
  • No welding is used on the cell cases, so they can be easily disassembled for recycling.
