Lithium Technology Corporation (LTC) to Launch New Battery Product Line

February 25, 2008 – Vol. 12 No. 49

Lithium Technology Corporation (LTC) to Launch New Battery Product Line.

The advanced, high energy density, lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) product line is aimed at answering the need of the electrical vehicle (EV) and the plug in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) markets. The batteries will incorporate the largest cells of their kind in the world.

The new products will offer cells ranging from 8 Ah to 40 Ah, which joins the existing high power line, offering cells ranging from 6 Ah to 35 Ah. The company's complete portfolio of products includes various cell chemistries and large batteries.

"In recent years LTC has been developing and offering battery technology that is unmatched by any other battery power solution on the market," commented Dr. Klaus Brandt, chief executive officer of LTC. "Today we are launching a product line that will complete our offering to the various markets we are targeting. We continue to prove our technical superiority and with the new iron phosphate products we raised the bar again."

LTC's large format technology allows for the development of safer battery systems with a significantly lower number of cells. The weight of the battery is decreased while performance and safety monitoring capabilities are increased. The battery management system (BMS) precisely monitors fewer cells, keeping them in balance for best performance and preventing damage to the battery due to over voltage, under voltage, over temperature and short circuit.

LTC, of Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania with Research and Development in Nordhausen, Germany, manufactures the GAIA(R) product line of large, high power hermetically sealed rechargeable lithium-ion cells and batteries. The Company's product portfolio includes large cells and batteries from 10 times the capacity of a standard laptop computer battery to 100,000 times greater. LTC manufactures a variety of standard cells that are assembled into custom large batteries complete with electronics (battery management systems) and electronics to communicate with other components of the system for performance monitoring.
