Hello
Today, we would like to let you know more about our company,
"The Individuality of Batteries" - Originality of ENAX Hybrid
Batteries" as our theme.
There are various types of lithium-ion batteries,
each with its own unique characteristics.
The lithium-ion batteries used in your
everyday consumer electronics and other products are selected from among these various
types of batteries to suit the intended use.
"ENAX Hybrid Battery" is a combination
of two types of batteries that gives one battery two types of properties. As a result, you
will be able to use its properties properly according to the application.
This ENAX hybrid battery is designed to change the characteristics of the battery by
combining two types of battery packs with different characteristics and changing the
mixing ratio of each battery pack output according to the application.
Our
lithium-ion battery packs contain a microcomputer that constantly monitors and controls
the battery for safe use, and we offer this unique value to our customers.
◎ Reduction of inactivity time caused by battery recharging requires rapid recharging and
opportunity recharging
◎ Sufficient driving time and driving distance requires
essential and sufficient battery capacity
◎ No breakdowns, long life, maintenance-free
achieves less frequent battery replacement
◎ Economic rationality of lifetime cost =
initial cost + maintenance and upkeep cost
↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
To satisfy all these requirements,
high capacity, high rate, high
reliability, and long life,
high-performance, expensive lithium-ion batteries are
required
But...
The power battery pack (P pack), which excels at rapid
charging, and the energy battery pack (E pack), which
features high capacity, are independent battery packs that can also be used
independently of each other.
Each has its own unique characteristics, and the use
of a stand-alone pack is the best solution when used in applications that match its
characteristics, but in some applications, as in the dilemma above, a stand-alone battery pack may require compromising some of the
needs.
Therefore, the ENAX Hybrid Battery combines the best of both worlds by having the right
amount of both P-packs and E-packs and a controller to manage them to make a single
battery unit.
For example, we envision this system to meet the needs of a smart
factory that operates 24H with AGVs (not wanting to stop AGVs as much as possible) and the
need for long hours of operation and long hours of recharging.
◆ Patented ◆
We have also begun studying a control
system that automatically adapts to the operating environment by determining the battery's
usage status and setting the battery's own output distribution suitable for the operating
environment.
We have applied for a patent for this technology, which was registered
this month (October).
