The development overcomes the key limitations of conventional battery technologies and creates new opportunities for applications that previously could not be served cost-effectively with Li-ion batteries.
Saft’s MP Integration xtd cell series is capable of operating over the extreme temperature range typically encountered in industrial applications of – 40°C to + 85°C. The cells offer a high level of safety and comply with the requirements of the IEC60079-11 standard for intrinsic safety, meaning that they are designed for safe and reliable high-power performance even in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Two models are currently available: MP 174565 Integration xtd offers a capacity of 4.0Ah while the MP 176065 Integration xtd has a 5.6 Ah capacity.
Meanwhile, the low-temperature MP IntegrationT xc range offers low temperature performance down to 50°C. The xc design provides a high voltage response when placed under significant load, preventing any risk of low voltage that can limit battery autonomy at low operating temperatures.
They also offer a long cycle life and extended calendar life compared with conventional Li-ion cells.
Currently, xc is available in the MP Integration 176065 xc cell that provides a 6.4Ah capacity.
Both the MP Integration xtd and xc cells have a long shelf life, with low self discharge, that reduces the need for supervision and charging during storage.
