ASPİLSAN Enerji has started mass production of its Li-Ion Rechargable Cylindrical Cell ASPİLSAN INR18650A28 in June 2022 and it is the first company in Europe to conduct mass production of li-ion 18650 cells. The design, development and production of the cell is completely domestic and national. All intellectual and industrial property rights of the cell belong to ASPİLSAN Enerji.
The chemistry and composition of ASPİLSAN INR18650A28 is nickel-rich lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt oxide. Its dimension is 18650; its capacity is 2800 mAh and its voltage is 3.6V. Compared to similar capacity cells of well-known certified brands, ASPİLSAN Enerji’s lithium-ion 18650 cell has proved to have a higher discharge rate and the ability to function at lower temperatures.
The annual production capacity of the lithium-ion cell production plant is 220 MWh. The production line is capable of producing 21,600,000 cells per year. The plant infrastructure and production line are not designed and constructed solely to produce cells in NMC chemistry but also 18650 and 21700 lithium ion cells in NCA, LFP, LCO, LMO and LTO chemistries. The safety and performance certifications received for ASPİLSAN INR18650A28 cell are as follows;
• Undot38.3: Standard Containing Safety Test for International Air Transport
• IEC 62133-2: Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes - Safety requirements for portable sealed secondary cells, and for batteries made from them, for use in portable applications
• IEC 61960-3: Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes - Secondary lithium cells and batteries for portable applications - Part 3: Prismatic and cylindrical lithium secondary cells, and batteries made from them
The lithium-ion cells produced by ASPİLSAN Enerji can be used in radio systems, jammers, robotic and weapon systems, power tools, medical batteries, hybrid vehicles, smart textile product batteries, electronic bikes and scooters, forklifts, UPS systems, and energy storage systems. In addition to the existing product portfolio, ASPİLSAN Enerji designs and develops project-based products to meet customers’ needs.
