The accumulators offer high operational reliability, cycle stability and service life with low weight. Thanks to the automated production, you have a comparatively low price. The disadvantage is the lower energy density compared to other battery systems, which increases the space required.
Applications
In Germany, numerous electric vehicle projects use these cells as traction batteries , for example:
- Citysax electric car
- Stromos electric car
- Conversion kit Elektro-Smart
- Conversion of the CityEl light vehicle (original lead-acid batteries)
