Furukawa Electric: Introducing next-generation bipolar storage battery: Achieved 1/2 cost compared to LiB
Furukawa Electric/Furukawa Battery:
We jointly developed the next-generation storage battery “bipolar storage battery”.
We are utilizing the material strength of our original metal polymer.
Aim for practical mass production,
Sample shipment during 2021
Products will start shipping in 2022.
Bipolar storage battery:
It features a simple structure with a positive electrode and a negative electrode on the front and back of a single electrode substrate.
Compared to lead acid batteries
Material reduction
Increased capacity per volume
Weight energy density is about twice that of lead-acid batteries
By stacking electrode substrates
Highly flexible battery configuration is possible
We can also expect to improve cost competitiveness.
Starting with the storage battery market for electricity storage, which is expected to reach 1.5 trillion yen in 2030,
We provide new value by combining with unprecedented applications and scenes.
Features of this product:
It is possible to support long periods for power demand/peak shift purposes.
The 0.2CA charge and discharge characteristics are comparable to lithium-ion batteries for power storage.
We propose it to companies that are economical and have a need for storage batteries for electric power storage.
Power company,
Special purpose company,
EPC operator,
Equipment manufacturer,
Responds to such needs.
Product specifications:
Unit price per power consumption is 50% or less compared to LiB for power storage
No air conditioning during operation, reducing temperature management cost by air conditioner, total cost less than 1/2
Great advantage in terms of safety such as ignition and fire
High reliability throughout the product life,
Expanding the use of lead-acid batteries for which a recycling system has been established is also effective in achieving the SDGs.
By applying our main product, “UltraBattery™” technology, we will develop higher performance products.
Product Summary:
Approximate dimensions: 300 mm × 300 mm × thickness 250 mm
Capacity: 50Ah (25℃)
Rated voltage: 48V2020
