US-based Sakuu, which supplies equipment and technology to the battery manufacturing industry, will make its Kavian dry-process battery technology platform available for retail orders in January 2025.
The platform can dry various anodes and cathodes from lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) electrodes. It also has the flexibility to support new chemicals such as aluminum-ion and sodium-ion.
The Kavian process adds a highly licensed lithium metal battery chemistry. UN38.3 certified battery cell achieved 1,500 cycles at 100% DoD to 80% State of Health (SOH) at 0.3 C/1 C, up from 1,000 DoD cycles in April 2024.
