Introduction to Epsilor's New 6T Battery

Epsilor Electric Fuel Ltd. has announced an exciting advancement in military technology with the unveiling of its new NATO 6T Lithium-Ion battery. Dubbed the ELI-52526-GM, this battery boasts an exceptional energy capacity of 4,400Wh and a current rating of 174Ah. This new release positions Epsilor at the forefront of military vehicle energy solutions, owing to its market-leading specifications.

Industry-Leading Energy Density

One of the most notable features of the ELI-52526-GM is its remarkable energy density, which is six times greater than conventional Lead-Acid batteries and around 50% more than its closest Lithium-Ion competitors. This leap in energy density not only allows military operations to be more efficient but also enhances the operational range and versatility of defense vehicles, making it an invaluable asset for armed forces worldwide.

Display at International Armored Vehicles Conference

The groundbreaking battery will be showcased at the upcoming International Armored Vehicles Conference taking place in Farnborough, UK, from January 21-23, 2025. Attendees can look forward to an in-depth look at how the ELI-52526-GM can transform military operations through increased energy capacity and safety features that address previous battery performance concerns.

Rigorous Compliance Testing

Before its launch, the 6T battery underwent extensive testing at independent laboratories in the United States, aimed at ensuring compliance with rigorous military specifications (MIL-PRF-32565C - TYPE 2). These tests included evaluations for extreme conditions such as high temperatures up to 500°C, cold environments, bullet penetration resistance, and operational longevity. The battery's design adheres strictly to safety and operational requirements mandated by the U.S. Army, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of combat and deployment.

Advantages Over Previous Technologies

The new Epsilor 6T battery is designed for various defense applications, providing notable enhancements in energy capacity and system integration. With a weight of just 28 kg, it delivers operational efficiency for a wide array of military applications including silent watch missions, hybrid propulsion for vehicles, robotics, and auxiliary energy banks.

Epsilor has cleverly integrated what they refer to as a unique energy-absorbing design, which addresses critical safety concerns historically associated with Lithium batteries. This innovative approach ensures that while providing an unmatched energy capacity, the risks are minimized, further solidifying its place in military technology.

Expanding the COMBATT Battery Range

In addition to the ELI-52526-GM, Epsilor offers a complete range of NATO-standard 6T Lithium batteries optimized for different defense uses:

• - The COMBATT ELI-52526-DM/GM batteries with energy capacities ranging from 3.6kWh to 4.4kWh, which are compliant with military specifications.
