Advanced lithium-ion energy storage design considerations

Saft has invested years of research and development into developing cutting-edge battery systems that provide high energy and power densities, but are also tolerant to abuse. The use of Li-ion batteries for demanding applications like manned and unmanned underwater vehicles and swimmer vehicles requires expertise in chemistry, cell development, system design and development, and integration. This paper will rely on this expertise to discuss design considerations for selecting an advanced lithium-ion energy storage system for use in a range of application and environments with focus on optimization of performance, life and safety of operations.
