Hello
My name is Tomoyuki Kitada from ENAX,Inc.
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.

"uptime and cost" are the key when selecting batteries.

　◎ 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...

To solve the above dilemma,
　we introduce the ENAX hybrid battery.

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.
