Boston-Power Block Overview

Our Swing Key™ products are high-capacity "building" blocks designed to enable the rapid delivery of Swing RESS™ battery systems for electric vehicle (EV) applications. Swing Key blocks combine the safety and performance advantages of small cells with the capacity and implementation ease of large format cells. Assembling a group of Swing® cells into a parallel configuration creates a high energy density, long-life distributed air cooled solution delivering the following key benefits:

  • Unparalleled system safety:  multiple distributed safety features at the cell level combined with mechanically robust block design
     
  • Cost-effective thermal management:  integrated channels for effective air cooling, eliminating the need for additional hardware
     
  • Common hardware:  compatible hardware across all blocks, as well as next-generation capacity Swing cells
     
  • Ease of implementation:  high capacity solution with simple bus bar connections and robust mechanical design requiring minimal hardware for system assembly

The Swing Key blocks form the cornerstone of several demonstration fleets today, providing an optimal solution for both purpose-built EVs as well as for retrofitting existing vehicle architectures for electrification.

The Swing Key blocks are available in the following configurations today:
