Modern warfighters require continuous electrical power to operate equipment, power weapon systems, and mobilize vehicles, ships, aircraft and drones. Tyfast is designing a high performance lithium-ion battery that meets the future warfighters need for the combination of energy, power, wider operating conditions and safety based on a novel anode material Li3V2O5 (LVO) discovered at UC San Diego and extensively peer-reviewed with 4 patents pending. The novel LVO anode enables performance such as (i) very fast charging to 100% SOC in under 6 minutes, (ii) cycle life of >10,000 cycles to 100% DOD, (iii) enhanced fast charging down to -40 °C, (iv) enhanced safety with a metal oxide based anode and (iv) energy density exceeding commercial LFP batteries widely being commercialized for passenger and heavy duty EVs. In this presentation, we will share performance data from Tyfast LVO prototype cells and demonstrate its potential for a wide range of DOD operational energy applications.
