Lithium Metal Polymer battery
> Markets & Applications
Solid-state Lithium Metal Polymer technology is a major innovation in battery field. As flexibility is one of the key
competitive advantages of the LMP, it makes it attractive to many industrial markets, especially when requiring high performance,
reliability and competitive costs.
Automotive markets
LMP battery is particularly well suited for urban and suburban electric transportation of people or goods.
Thanks to its remarkably light and compact characteristics LMP battery is the ideal solution to design performing electric vehicles. It
will allow the development of vehicles that will meet customers need by offering:
An autonomy greater than 200 km
A very low energetic cost
An environmental solution against urban production
Stationary markets (telecommunications, UPS, energy storage, ...)
The
great majority of industrial batteries are used to ensure electricity continuity to applications that cannot afford a grid power outage.
These applications, such as data centers, telecommunication base stations, hospitals, nuclear power plants or semiconductor factories,
require small, reliable and robust batteries even when used under extreme climate conditions.
Lithium Metal Polymer battery is able to satisfy these requirements thanks to:
its extended lifetime, almost independent from operating temperature.
its ability to be remotely monitored.
In addition its life-cycle cost remains competitive since LMP batteries does not require any maintenance.
Space and defense (satellites, missiles, ...)
Applications of these two markets have in common their constant research for the most innovative technologies.
To ensure energy supply to an orbital satellite or to make safer electric networks of aircrafts, batteries have to as light as possible.
Therefore, these applications will gain benefits of outstanding specific energy density values of LMP technology.
