Abstract

Content: ABSTRACT
Saft has developed a competitively-priced lithium-ion replacement for the traditional lead-acid batteries for use in the next generation of military vehicles. Saft’s 24 volt Xcelion 6T^® delivers power at high rate that surpasses the delivered capacity of two lead-acid batteries. The battery design is tailored to support high rates, even at extreme cold temperatures, to support the mission needs for silent watch and starting for military vehicles. The product is now industrialized and commercially available for integration in the next generation of vehicles.
