Boston-Power's lithium-ion battery technology platform was specifially designed to be optimized for the extreme conditions and challenging use cycles of the automotive market. The Swing RESS is the most advanced rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) available for the transportation market today, allowing our partners, like Saab, to offer a market-leading, long range EV driving experience.
Industry leading system performance:
- More usable energy; at least 45% by weight and 50% by volume
- 10 year reliable calendar life
- Broad operating temperature range -40˚C to 70˚C (discharge)
- Proven field safety record
Electric Vehicles
Our Swing® cells, blocks, modules and systems provide an optimal combination of dependable energy density and power for both distance and drive performance for long-range Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) applications.
The high energy density, long cycle life and power of the Swing Li-ion battery cells were designed to meet automotive industry performance targets such as USABC (United States Automotive Battery Consortium), SAE and ISO. This makes it an ideal solution for BEVs and PHEVs, ranging from small sedans to luxury performance vehicles all the way up to Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs).
Specifically, our Swing cells can deliver 207Wh/kg of energy density, (more than twice that of the lithium iron phosphate and NiMH solutions available today), combined with pulse power of 1500W/kg (2 sec) and constant power of 440W/kg for improved vehicle acceleration – significantly exceeding both energy density and power targets for BEVs and PHEV-40s set by the USABC.
Small Task Oriented Vehicles
Since it was designed for high mileage electric transportation, our Swing line of products are also an ideal choice for smaller transportation-based applications, such as Small Task Oriented Vehicles (STOVs) and Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs). The high energy and long life provide outstanding performance and a reduction in operating and warranty costs.
