Defence Connect: EDEA Energy exports lithium-ion battery to US client

Australian battery manufacturer EDEA Energy confirmed it has successfully exported its super6T lithium-ion battery to a US defence client.

The battery, which can power some 95 per cent of military vehicles, was designed by Energy Renaissance over four years with a multimillion-dollar investment.

Vehicles that can use the battery include main battle tanks and support trucks.

EDEA confirmed that the battery is comprised of a cyber secure battery management system, proprietary thermal management and a range of additional solutions which ensure that the capability delivers power in silent watch operations and rapid cranking in all conditions.

The batteries are built in Tomago, NSW, at the Renaissance One facility, with key components developed by the CSIRO.
