StoreDot, a provider of extreme fast charging battery technology for electric vehicles, says it has proven the superior performance of its extreme fast charging battery cell technology by delivering cells that have exceeded 1,000 cycles in production ready EV form factor.
The 300Wh/kg, 700 Wh/l high energy density cells repeatedly charged from 10% to 80% percent capacity in just 10 minutes and then discharged for one hour before recharging. The EV cells achieved over 1,000 of these extreme charging cycles consecutively before degrading below the 80% of the original capacity threshold. No noticeable degradation occurred within the first 600 cycles in which the cells were consecutively fast charged between 10%-80%.
StoreDot says this landmark milestone follows its announcement in March that it had set a world record of 1,200 cycles for its extreme fast charging cells in prototype format.
"The latest tests represent a landmark not just for StoreDot, but also the global battery industry and the entire sustainable mobility ecosystem,” said Yaron Fein, StoreDot VP R&D, adding that this is the first time ever that cell performance of this magnitude has been achieved.
