Battery Technology
Lithion Battery’s technical expertise centers on lithium-ion and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) technologies. Their LiFePO4 solutions offer superior power density, extended cycle life, minimal self-discharge, and reduced maintenance requirements. These batteries serve as effective replacements for traditional lead-acid systems, providing enhanced safety and cost efficiency.
The company manufactures primary lithium cells, including lithium thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2), lithium sulfuryl chloride (Li-SOxCL2), and lithium manganese dioxide (Li-MnO2). These cells are engineered for extreme environments, particularly in oil and gas operations, military equipment, and medical devices. Their proprietary Battery Management System (BMS) technology enhances performance and reliability across all applications.
Lithion Battery’s manufacturing capabilities extend from small single-cell configurations to large-scale battery systems. Their in-house engineering team develops custom solutions that integrate seamlessly with client specifications, supported by rigorous testing protocols to ensure safety and reliability.
Recent Projects
In early 2024, Lithion Battery secured an $8 million contract with the Naval Sea Systems Command for advancing shipboard electric power systems. This research and development initiative, based at their Henderson facility, is scheduled for completion by January 2025. The company has also expanded its operations with a second factory in Henderson, Nevada, focusing on iron phosphate technology production. This expansion has created new employment opportunities, with plans to increase their workforce from 140 to over 250 employees by 2026.
