Highstar Unveils Next-Gen Tabless Cells at The Battery Show Europe 2025
Highstar, a leader in battery technology, showcased their revolutionary next-generation Tabless Cell series at the esteemed Battery Show Europe 2025 held in Stuttgart. Under the theme "Tabless Forest, Vitality Reborn," the company aims to address critical challenges within the industry while strengthening global markets.
Performance Leap through Technological Innovation
The newly developed Tabless Cells are a response to the growing demand for rapid charging, reduced heat generation, and extended lifespans of lithium batteries. Highstar undertook three years of intensive research and development, resulting in groundbreaking solutions that involve structural redesign and material optimization.
- - Ultra-High Performance: The Tabless Cells can support a 40C pulse discharge (200 A) and a continuous discharge of 70A, allowing seamless operation of high-performance tools like electric drills and saws.
- - Ultra-Low Resistance and Efficient Heat Dissipation: Internal resistance has been reduced by more than 70%, now measuring below 4 mΩ, minimizing temperature rise during discharge by 50%, and enabling stable high-load operations.
- - Fast Charging and Extended Lifespan: These cells can achieve a rapid charge of 5C (80% in just 10 minutes) with over 1,000 charging cycles, resulting in a lifespan increase of 60% to 100%.
- - Adaptability to All Climates: The Tabless Cells are designed to maintain stable performance across extreme temperatures, ranging from -40°C to 80°C, making them suitable for outdoor devices and drones at high altitudes.
- - Improved Longevity: The cells promise over 50% longer life at high discharge rates, meeting the long-term, high-frequency demands of various applications including automated guided vehicles and intelligent devices.
