Shanghai (ZXZC)- Chinese battery maker Farasis Energy on Sept. 9 launched its fire new power battery solution named SPS (Super Pouch Solution), which consists of the innovative pouch cells and battery system, as well as relevant battery manufacturing and recycling technologies.

According to the company, the full-tab and multi-tab super pouch cells enable a simpler battery system structure as they have changed from the previous-generation design of connecting cells in series. Besides, they support 2.4C to 5C (even higher) of charge-discharge rate to meet the power demands of various new energy vehicles (NEVs), and are compatible with diverse raw materials chemistry, including high-nickel ternary-lithium, low-nickel lithium-rich manganese, lithium manganese iron phosphate, and sodium ion.

The battery system under SPS allows semi-solid-state pouch cells to be integrated directly into the chassis, improving the system packaging efficiency to 75%, and reducing the system components and materials cost by 50% and 33%, respectively.

By virtue of the liquid cooling plate and uniform temperature controlling, the heat dissipation efficiency of the battery system is increased by 4 times and the cycle life exceeds 3,000 times. 

Compared to the 4680 battery pack, the SPS packaging efficiency is lifted by 12%, cycle life is tripled, and the thermal conductivity is increased by 60%.

In addition, the company noted the volume production of the SPS' pouch cells can help reduce the equipment investment by 50%, the plant area by 60%, the manufacturing energy consumption by 35%, and the production expense by 30%.

Notably, Farasis Energy has developed a direct lithium battery recycling technology, which enables the crystal structure of battery cathode materials to be retained and reused, so that the materials utilization can be improved to over 99%.
