The competition in the development of large-capacity cells is heating up, with the industry’s top player stepping up to shape the new standard in the battery energy storage space.
China’s CATL, the world’s leading battery maker, has officially showcased its new 587 Ah high-capacity battery cell, which will be integrated into its next-generation TENER energy storage system.
This new battery cell boasts an energy density of up to 430 Wh/L and according to the manufacturer, offers superior safety performance compared to traditional small battery cells while maintaining ultra-high energy efficiency.
While impressive, this energy density and cell capacity are not unheard of. Chinese manufacturers have been actively competing to develop high-capacity battery energy storage cells, searching for the next sweet spot in the post-300+ Ah era.
