XALT Launches High-Performance Lithium Titanate Cell Technology

MIDLAND, Mich. – XALT Energy has launched a revolutionary high-performance Lithium Titanium Oxide (LTO) cell that has achieved better cycle life performance over a wider range of operating conditions than any lithium ion cell ever built.

"These cells combine outstanding fast-charge performance, unparalleled cycle life, long calendar life and the ability to operate over wide temperature ranges,” says Subhash Dhar, XALT CEO. “The cells exhibit low, stable impedance which minimize heat generation in aggressive high-rate applications with fast charging capability. It easily fits applications requiring extremely high power-to-energy ratios and where safety is critical.” 

            The Li-Ion LTO cells are produced in XALT’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Midland, Michigan. XALT’s flexible manufacturing facility offers a highly automated process where human hands only touch the product during final inspection before packaging.

The new cells are currently used in pure electric buses for multiple high rate charges on a daily basis.
