The electrolyte will be used in EAS' novel ultra-high-power lithium-ion battery cell using lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode. The electrolyte's high ionic conductivity contributes to reduced internal cell resistance and enhanced rate capability, even under demanding temperature conditions. The market launch of EAS Batteries’ new cell utilizing this technology is in line with Asahi Kasei’s commercialization plans, with the product scheduled to be released no later than March 2026.","length":751,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"The development of the new cylindrical, ultra-high-power cell, UHP601300 LFP 22, is based on a collaboration between Asahi Kasei and EAS Batteries, with financial support from Germany’s Federal Ministry of Research, Technology, and Space under the &quo...
