StoreDot ensures the safety of its batteries during extreme fast charging (XFC) through multiple advanced technological and chemical strategies aimed at maintaining battery health, preventing damage, and enabling rapid charging without compromising safety.
Key Safety Measures in StoreDot’s Extreme Fast Charging Batteries:
- Advanced Battery Chemistry: StoreDot uses proprietary chemistries that minimize the risk of metallic lithium plating—a major safety hazard that occurs during fast charging and can damage the battery and cause safety issues. Their technology is designed to prevent this phenomenon, thereby enhancing both safety and battery longevity.
- Maintaining Battery Health During XFC: StoreDot emphasizes battery chemistries and designs that ensure minimal degradation over many fast charging cycles. Their batteries have demonstrated the ability to retain 80% of their original capacity even after 1300 consecutive extreme fast charging cycles, indicating robust durability and safety under rapid charge conditions.
- Cell-to-Pack Design with Structural Cooling: The company employs innovative cell-to-pack (CTP) battery architecture that integrates structural cooling methods. This advanced cooling system helps manage the thermal load during extremely fast charging sessions, preventing overheating and enhancing safety by keeping battery temperatures within safe limits.
- Improved Battery Cycle Life and Safety: StoreDot highlights improvements in battery safety alongside increased cycle life, which collectively contribute to a smooth and reliable driving experience. Their technology is designed to charge an EV to 80% in as little as 10 minutes without compromising battery integrity.
- Transparent Communication on Safety and Longevity: StoreDot advocates for transparent disclosure of battery health, cycle life, performance under extreme conditions, and safety parameters to ensure users understand their battery’s capabilities and safety profile during extreme fast charging.
Summary
StoreDot combines cutting-edge battery chemistry that avoids lithium plating, structural cooling in its cell-to-pack designs, and materials optimized for longevity and safety to enable extreme fast charging while maintaining safety. This ensures the batteries can be charged extremely quickly—for example, 100 miles of range in 5 minutes—without sacrificing battery health or safety.
