Valence Technology
Valence Technology, manufactures lithium
ion batteries that can be arranged in systems between 12V-1000V, from kWh to MWh. As
a result of the stable, high-quality chemistry, Valence's U-Charge family of 12V, 24V, and 36V modules have an extended cycle life and oat life, suited for energy storage markets such as renewables and UPS. Through this design, lithium ion batteries can act as a “drop-in” replacement for lead-acid batteries or be easily assembled into larger systems of any voltage and capacity. The lithium iron magnesium phosphate batteries are fast-charging and safe energy storage solutions. www.valence.com
Batteries - NiCd/NiMh
Nilar, Inc.
The Nilar 48kWh modular energy storage is avail- able as a standard solution with rack, battery control cabinet, all switchgear, inverters, and BMS software. The system can typically support fast charge of electric vehicles or ef ciently store energy from solar panel systems. For larger appli- cations, the modular system can be easily scaled. A stacked 96kWh unit takes the same oor space as a 48kWh unit. This makes the 96kWh units suitable for container solutions.
