Nilar

Technology

Nilar’s NiMH battery utilizes a unique architecture that provides high performance and a simplified manufacturing process. Nilar’s philosophy during the development of its battery was to examine the system for common failure modes, then re-engineer the battery to remove those modes. Common NiMH failure modes include dry-out, electrode swelling due to heat, and weld failure.

Nilar Patented Bi-Polar Battery

In Nilar’s bipolar construction, the cells are stacked so that the cell walls (the membrane) collect current between cells and the current flow is perpendicular to the current collectors. Resistance is a function of electrode thickness and electrode surface area. This construction results in low resistance and uniform voltage and temperature across the cell.

In a Prismatic Cell energy is transferred across the plates

For years customers have struggled with finding battery solutions that integrate simply and easily into their application. The results have often been less than satisfactory and ended in a compromise between desired solution and offer components. The Nilar module, the result of six years of development between teams in Europe and North America, have rethought power by integrating the technology of Metal Hydride into a unique patented bi-polar battery construction.

The result is a battery technology that can be integrated into a single string of modules that require less components than many other solutions. The result is a long life power and a cost effective solution.
