Power

The key to power in battery technology is to rapidly deliver energy without generating significant heat. This translates into three simple concepts:

• lower electrical interconnect resistance
• lower internal cell resistance
• uniform current flow through the cell

The Nilar patented approach to cell design is focused on doing exactly that.

By using a Bi-Polar design, there is no high resistance welds between cells. The current conductor between cells has the current carrying capability of more than a thousand welds, where as a traditional cell may have four welds at the most which is a common point of failure with other battery solutions.

Traditional cell designs reduce internal resistance by adding a conductive mesh. Although this conductive mesh helps with lowering the internal resistance it does not create uniform current flow. This displaces active material thus lowering amp hour capacity. Because the current flow is no longer uniform, the cell charges and discharges unevenly which can lead to hot spots in the electrode and premature cell failure.

Nilar's unique approach uses a highly conductive interconnect between cells. The current flow does not need to branch in multiple directions. instead the current flows straight through the cell. This lowers overall internal resistance and helps to prevent the cell from becoming unbalanced during charge and discharge.

The Nilar patented solution reduces volume at the module level for the electrical interconnect between cells. This translates to Power and Energy in a smaller volume.

Also, because the cell technology is flat the battery can be formed into almost any shape or size allowing space to be fully utilized without sacrificing power.
