Expanded Operational Temperature Range for Space Rated Li-Ion Batteries

Quallion's Phase II proposal calls for expanding the nominal operation range of its space rated lithium ion cells, while maintaining their long life capabilities. To expand this temperature range, Quallion will conduct analysis on a variety of materials. Based upon our results from Phase I, Quallion will further optimize the formulations and fabricate our large format satellite cells for cell level testing. Quallion is also proposing a "right sizing" of this production facility to allow for cost effective, low volume production with enhanced reliability, long-term supply guarantee and design flexibility that allows for future production for NASA missions.
