According to Electrek website, the demand for high-performance lithium batteries is expected to reach more than 40% in the next few years with the rapid popularization of new energy vehicles in the world. Panasonic, LG Chem and Samsung SDI have dominated the current global high-performance lithium battery market. At the 2018 Detroit auto show this week, Samsung SDI once again brought a new battery, claiming that the battery will significantly enhance the electric car's mileage and charging capacity.
For the new EV battery, Samsung SDI said the battery is based on the new 21700 standard cylindrical battery cell and module, which is 21mm in diameter and 70mm tall and has 50% more battery capacity than the 18650-based battery. The size of the battery is ideal for maximizing power output and battery life.It is reported that the 21700 standard is increasingly being used in areas such as energy storage systems (ESS), power tools and electric vehicles and becomes the more The more electric car battery standard.
Samsung has also brought some new battery technologies to this Detroit auto show, such as the latest solid-state battery technology and graphene balls, which can dramatically increase battery charge capacity and charging speed.
Samsung SDI focuses on graphene ball cell technology, a unique material that increases battery charge capacity by 45% and charges up to 5 times faster, while its solid-state battery technology increases battery capacity and safety.
Samsung SDI has introduced 37Ah, 50Ah, 60Ah and 94Ah batteries that can be used to power all-electric and plug-in hybrids with a range of up to 600 km (373 miles). Most of Samsung SDI's batteries The products are all square batteries, but last year the company introduced its own '2170' battery in hopes of competing with similar Tesla / Panasonic products. Samsung SDI brought the latest battery unit to the show.
Samsung SDI has been in the direction of electric vehicles, and the use of major auto shows around the world to promote their latest battery products.
