International Battery Introduces High-Power Modular Packaging for its Ultra-Large-Format Lithium Batteries

See Them at the Advanced Automotive Battery Conference (AABC), in Booth #801

ALLENTOWN, Pa.--(Business Wire)--
International Battery (www.internationalbatteryinc.com), a U.S. manufacturer,
designer, and developer of large-format lithium-ion rechargeable cells and
batteries, today announced the introduction of three classes of standardized
modules for its ultra-large-format lithium batteries - Nested, Slim and Wide -
to accommodate various customer-specific geometries. Each module can supply up
to 4 kilowatt-hours of storage.

These new modules create an energy storage system that incorporates eight large
format International Battery cells connected in series. Each cell has a unique
recognizable Battery Management System (BMS) board. Modules can be connected in
series or parallel configurations to meet the desired voltage and energy
requirements. The system can accommodate 30 modules for a maximum voltage of 760
Volts and can incorporate any of the company`s cells ranging from 40 to 200 Ah
capacity per cell.

"These modules are well-suited for customers seeking highly configurable, large
energy storage systems in formats suitable for rapid integration," said
International Battery CEO Ake Almgren.

The cells are monitored and balanced by the BMS and provide information to a
controller directly or through a systems` control board that International
Battery can provide. The BMS has sufficient intelligence to determine any
pre-determined safety or operational non-conformance and provide for reliable
implementation of a latchable interlock system.

International Battery presently offers six cell models in two chemistries, where
the basic (pre-packaged) cells offer performance at or beyond industry
standards, achieving energy densities of:

* 154 Wh/kg and 278 Wh/Liter in the 740 Wh 200 Ah lithium nickel cobalt
manganese cell, or
* 107 Wh/kg and 192 Wh/Liter in the 512 Wh 160 Ah lithium iron phosphate cell.

The company`s innovative modules and batteries will be on display at this week`s
Advanced Automotive Battery Conference (AABC) in Long Beach, Calif., in booth
number 801.

The company`s Allentown, Pa., factory is the first purpose-built commercial
manufacturer of next-generation large-format lithium ion batteries in the United
States, and is helping to reverse the offshore flow of manufacturing capability.
The company`s technology was originally based on an exclusive license from an
established leading-edge Chinese battery manufacturing company. International
Battery has subsequently further developed both the cell design and fabrication
processes.
