Cobasys NiMHax® Battery Packs

Cobasys has introduced a line of hydride-based NiMHax battery packs ranging from 144V and 30kW for light duty automotive applications to 672V and 280kW for large commercial applications (trucks and buses). The standard packs are designed to be plug-and-play units and include battery management systems (BMS), thermal management, hardware, software, packaging, and all components necessary to be completely integrated into hybrid vehicle applications.

The packs are designed to be liquid cooled which offers packaging and thermal management advantages over air cooling. Liquid cooling also allows mounting in many different locations inside or outside the vehicle since large air ducting is not needed to provide battery cooling. The compact size and low weight of the NiMHax packs offer tremendous power, capacity, packaging, size, weight and life advantages over traditional lead acid packs.

Cobasys is a joint venture between ChevronTexaco and Energy Conversion Devices, Inc.
