Military 6T Battery

Nanophosphate® Military 6T Battery: Our light-weight, long-lasting, high performance 6T batteries are engineered to meet the specific, demanding requirements of military vehicles. They are designed as drop-in lead acid replacements for engine start and silent watch applications. The 6T battery leverages the systems engineering and manufacturing utilized in the commercial production of A123’s 12V Engine Start Battery. The 6T is available in 12V and 24V models.

Primary Applications:

Silent Watch:

• Provides long-duration usable energy for powering vehicle systems in an engine-off mode
• Communicates state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH) information to the warfighter for maximum battery utilization

Engine Start:

• Form fit to allow drop-in replacement for 6T lead acid batteries currently deployed in military vehicles
• Optimized 12V power net system for improved fuel economy (disable alternator under certain conditions)
• Greater usable energy enables more start cycles

Soldier Power:

• 6T can be packaged to support a number of portable power applications
• Excellent safety, light weight and long life ideal for portable applications
  

Key Features & Benefits:

• Longer Life: Designed to deliver significantly longer cycle and calendar life than lead acid resulting in lower total cost of ownership
• Greater Charge Acceptance Rate: Rapid charge capable and no recovery period required after previous charge or discharge and significantly higher rate capability than lead acid
• Lighter Weight: Approximately 50% lighter than lead acid batteries of equivalent capacity
• Excellent Safety: A123's Nanophosphate® lithium iron phosphate chemistry provides excellent abuse tolerance and multiple layers of protection are employed at the chemistry, cell and system level
• Intelligent Battery Management System (BMS): On-board calculation of state of charge (SOC), state of health (SOH), diagnostics and precise current and voltage measurements
• Advanced Temperature Control: Integrated battery heater for operation at temperatures below -30 ºC (available in next-generation versions)
