Oxis Energy develops lightweight lithium sulphur prototype cell
Battery manufacturer Oxis Energy has developed a lightweight lithium sulphur prototype cell for power management company Lincad and the UK Ministry of Defence.
The prototype cell is the result of the third programme phase of the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory research programme. The cell provides a 60% increase over the capacity achievement in phase 2 in 2013 and increases the specific energy of a cell to just under 300Wh/kg, according to Oxis Energy.
