Our new partner project: iModBatt
25 September 2020
We are happy to present our new partner project: iModBatt. The aim of iModBatt is to design and manufacture, with the minimum environmental impact, a high energy density modular Battery Pack, which is flexible enough to be used in automotive and small stationary applications. This Battery Pack will be suitable for industrial automated assembly with an easy disassembly design, to make possible the shift from primary applications to secondary ones, and to facilitate the Battery Pack recyclability or parts replacement if necessary.
