Nyobolt Ltd, a manufacturer of high power, ultrafast charging battery technologies, has announced the achievement of United Nations (UN)38.3 certification for its first two production-ready pouch cells.
Start of pack production for customers in high uptime industries, where rapid recharge provides critical upgrades in efficiency of business operations, is scheduled to begin this year.
The UN38.3 certification is a prerequisite for air shipping of all lithium-based battery chemistries and is awarded only after the successful completion of rigorous environmental, electrical, and mechanical safety tests by independent test authorities before production and shipment can begin.
Nyobolt’s fast charge, high power battery cells outperform alternatives, increasing operational efficiency by dramatically reducing charging-related downtime for customers while delivering superior overall performance.
Available in two sizes – 3Ah and 23Ah – Nyobolt’s pouch cells boast innovative electrode and cell designs that facilitate extremely rapid charge transfer.
Nyobolt cells can be fully charged from 0% to 100% state of charge in as little as five minutes, with minimal degradation, while demonstrating superior cycle life far beyond what can be achieved in today’s lithium-ion cells.
The Nyobolt team, comprised of leading battery scientists and engineers with prior experience in designing and producing ultra high-rate batteries for Formula 1, is developing a complete fast-charge ecosystem for customers in the Industrial and Automotive sectors.
The company has ambitious plans to expand its product portfolio from its first pouch cells to include high-power battery modules, packs, and DC chargers.
Demonstrating its capabilities, Nyobolt showcased a 6-minute fast charge EV at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in June 2023 and introduced the 100kW Bolt-ee mobile supercharger in November.
