Description

CAMX Power proposes to develop a high power, long life lithium-ion (Li-ion) vehicle battery that can be completely de-energized for logistical transportation and storage purposes, giving it exceptional shelf life and making it intrinsically safe under conditions of relaxed environmental controls and with no or minimal state-of-health monitoring. This novel battery, based on CAMX Powers proprietary CAM-7 cathode material and a lithium titanate anode material, will provide the extended temperature range performance, energy density and cycle life needed to meet the increasingly demanding requirements placed on vehicle batteries by expanded missions such as Silent Watch, while alleviating the logistical and safety concerns that are impediments to implementing high energy, long life Li-ion technology in military vehicles.
