To develop battery packs with following qualifications:
– Used as a substitute for original battery
– Similar in size and weight
– Prolonged battery life
– Electromagnetic compatibility
– Durable and resistant to impact and vibration in the fieldworks
– Electronic control system and monitoring
– Lower price than imported battery packs
What does the research team do?
– Survey the end-users’ requirement
– Design appropriate qualification of the battery packs
– Test the battery against military standards
– Test in Fieldwork
Research Results
– Substitute to the original battery packs damaged
– Extend battery capability of 3 times e.g. 1 day to 3 days
– Standardized qualification and military security
– Costs 4 times cheaper than imported battery
Research Status
The work has been delivered, tested and ready to transfer to the users.
Outlook
– Develop new battery packs for other military equipment
– Offer consultancy service about energy storages to the private sector
