Powernet Files Patent Application for 'Battery Charging System Efficiency Improvement Technology'

On the 7th, Powernet, which announced on the 3rd that it is developing LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery packs and is actively pursuing its battery business, revealed that it will expand its market competitiveness by securing intellectual property rights related to battery technology.

The technology for which the patent was filed this time improves the low-temperature performance of a battery exchange charging system. It is a technology designed to maintain the efficiency and output of the battery at a certain level in cold winter environments.

A company representative stated, “We are developing a ‘standard battery pack applying LFP’ aiming to participate in the electric two-wheeler sharing station demonstration project, and according to our mid- to long-term roadmap, we aim to develop a battery exchange station by 2025. The technology for which the patent was filed this time improves the structure of the battery pack insertion port of the BSS (Battery Swap Station) to solve the problem of severe performance degradation of lithium batteries when the BSS is exposed to subzero temperatures for a long time during winter. It applies a CNT (Carbon Nanotube) planar heater and controls the temperature by using communication information between the BSS and the battery pack,” he explained.

He also added, “We are currently preparing a patent for the pouch-type cell applying LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) to the battery pack under development. Through continuous research and development and securing technological assets in collaboration with China’s CEL, we plan to expand our market competitiveness based on a technology-centered business structure.”
