The first truly Australian designed and manufactured 6T NATO lithium battery

The silent running EDEA 6T NATO battery has been designed, developed and manufactured in Australia. Sovereign capability from cell processing to battery manufacturing. No reliance on foreign supply chains or use of foreign code.

EDEA 6T NATO has been developed for military application including potential use in Hanwha’s Redback IFV. Its cyber-security, hyper accuracy and sovereign design makes it suitable for use in any military vehicle requiring 6T NATO standard 24V batteries.

Battery manufacturing July 2023

  • Developed for Hanwha Redback IFV

    EDEA's Australian-made 6T NATO batteries are being tested in the Republic of Korea (ROK) during the second quarter of 2023

  • Most advanced and secure

    Developed with CSIRO and Energy Renaissance to be the world's most advanced and secure Li Ion drop-in replacement 6T NATO certified battery

  • Cyber secure. Hyper accurate

    CSIRO developed cyber-secure communications with hyper-accurate battery management systems and Australian designed and manufactured circuit boards

  • 100% Australian

    The silent running EDEA 6T NATO has been designed, developed and manufactured in Australia. Sovereign capability from cell processing to battery manufacturing.
