Saphion Lithium-Ion Technology

Valence Technology Inc. delivered samples of its second generation cylindrical Saphion Lithium-ion technology for customer evaluation.

A primary feature of Saphion Lithium-ion technology is its high rate capability, required for power applications in the consumer and vehicular markets. The superior cycle and service life characteristics of Valence’s first generation Saphion technology are needed for large format energy applications such as utility and telecommunications backup power systems.

Valence launched its Saphion Lithium-ion technology in the spring of 2002 and has since commercialized it in applications such as the N-ChargeTM and K-ChargeTM Power Systems.
