Prismatic Cells

Prismatic Cells for Commercial, Industrial, and OEM Applications

Lithium prismatic cells are one of several cell formats offered by VPW and are an excellent choice for applications requiring frequent cycling and long useful lifespans. Encased in a thin aluminum or steel enclosure for stability, the pouch cell shares packaging efficiencies of up to 95% with its lithium pouch cell counterpart.

With excellent thermal characteristics, the prismatic cell requires less cooling per energy unit when compared to the cylindrical lithium cell format. Additionally, the prismatics offers excellent cycle life expectancies even under high and varied load, which typically has an adverse effect on the life expectancy of other lithium cell formats. With a cycle life of up to four times greater than cylindrical lithium cells, the cost of operation and ownership for prismatics can be significantly lower.

Available in a multitude of cell sizes and derivatives to address specific and unique performance requirements including specific energy, specific power, safety, performance, lifespan and cost, large format prismatic cells offered by VPW are an excellent choice for electric vehicle powertrains and energy storage systems.

Some of the prismatic Lithium cell derivatives that VPW offers:

• Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (LiNiMnCoO2 or NMC)
• Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP)

VPW can supply bulk cells as well as custom design battery packs to meet your critical design parameters.
