The Battery Show Europe 2023: Farasis Energy presents innovative battery technology for various application areas
Farasis Energy will present its innovative battery solutions for various applications at this year’s Battery Show in Stuttgart, taking place from May 23rd to 25th. In the automotive sector, Farasis Energy’s high-performance battery technology impresses with its long range and fast-charging capability. With an energy density of 330 Wh/ kg, a range of around 1,000 kilometres can be achieved. Customers who place more value on fast-charging capability benefit from a battery with an adapted cell design. This may have an impact on the energy density but enables the battery to be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in just 15 minutes in fast-charge mode. In addition, the leading developer…

Breakthrough in Battery Safety Technology
Farasis Energy, a leading supplier of high-performance lithium-ion pouch cells, has developed a module design concept to prevent thermal propagation using its newest generation of cells (Generation 4). The performance of the modules has been tested and confirmed by independent laboratories on module and pack level. Battery safety is thus significantly increased – an important advantage for OEMs in view of increasingly stringent safety standards for e-cars, from which all other applications also benefit. Industrial production of the adapted modules is planned to start in 2025 and upgrading from current battery packs to packs with adapted models is possible without changing production. Driven by the demand for longer ranges, battery…

Farasis Energy will present electric battery technology solutions at LogiMAT 2023
Premiere atmosphere in Stuttgart at LogiMAT: In Hall 9, Booth A30, Farasis Energy will present the Atlas module, which has already proven itself in the industry, to the trade public for the first time. "Customers in the material handling industry have high demands when it comes to electrifying their vehicles," says Dr. Keith Kepler, CTO and co-founder of Farasis Energy. "The optimum usage of the given space is key to ensure the needed performance can be achieved. We can accommodate between 2 and 40 Atlas modules in a forklift truck, depending on the vehicle, thus offering between 6.8 kWh up to 272 kWh." This performance allows for long range and…

Farasis Energy supports research in complexity reduction for innovative battery systems
The development of structural battery packs can increase both the gravimetric and the volumetric energy density of batteries to achieve efficiency increases of up to 20 percent and enables faster time-to-market whilst reducing the number of components needed. In addition, a structural battery pack features functions formerly realized by the vehicle chassis, such as providing stiffness and strength or absorbing crash energy. A higher integration level of cells can support the mechanical efficiency of the battery. This can be done by directly integrating cells into a pack without the use of modules, the so-called cell-to-pack concept which is used in structural battery systems. The federally funded project PEAk-Bat aims…
