European Batteries
Charged to fulfill the European expectations
European Batteries Oy produces large lithium-ion battery systems for applications in transportation, heavy industrial machinery and energy storage sectors. Advanced lithium-ion batteries are considered to be one of the best solutions for changing from fossil based combustion engines to electric energy ones. By mastering these challenges, European Batteries aims to lead the evident change from the front – actively steering the overall development towards cleaner energy solutions.
As the new European Batteries plant in Varkaus, Finland begins its operations in the spring of 2010, it will be the first independent large battery manufacturing unit in Europe. Focusing on latest lithium-ion technology and cell size of more than 0,1 kWh, the company aims to reach a production capacity of 100 MWh per year. As the plans to three-fold the production by 2012 become a reality, European Batteries will be able to offer substantial advantages to European customers and system integrators. Their production processes will become more efficient and reliable with batteries that possess industry-leading energy density, safety and performance levels.
European Batteries provides further advantages by being able to create and construct the entire battery system for targeted customers – literally under one roof. The cell level battery management systems have been designed and developed by European Batteries since 2003. They monitor critical battery parameters, maximize available capacity, energy efficiency and improve the cycle life of the battery system. Providing high balancing current, scalability and intelligent balancing algorithm, the systems help the customers make the most of the battery capacity – as well as of their investment in advanced battery solutions.
