Austria-based Miba Battery Systems has announced that its FLEXcooler liquid cooling component for batteries will be used in the European OEM's latest electric sports car model from 2026.
The small and flexible design of the FLEXcooler ensures a good connection between the heat sink and the battery cells without the need to use heat-insulating materials such as adhesives, pastes or gap fillers, according to the company. This also makes battery systems easier to repair and recycle.
FLEXcooler's size, shape and function are designed according to the customer's individual requirements to reduce system complexity and cost for any cell format or type. The technology is suitable for common cooling applications such as case, base or terminal cooling, and allows accurate tolerance compensation.
FLEXcooler is used in a variety of applications from motorcycles to municipal and commercial vehicles. Miba has already agreed to supply an OEM with a FLEXcooler for another model in the premium sports car segment. The part will be manufactured at Voltfactory #01 in Bad Leonfelden, Upper Austria.
“What started as a small, high-end product for electric racing motorcycles is now a global chain solution for the automotive industry. We are proud to be able to meet the high performance and sustainability goals of a renowned sports car manufacturer with our unique component,” said Stefan Gaigg, Managing Director of Miba Battery Systems.
