Features

Hydrogen gas is generated when a lead-acid battery is overcharged, potentially causing ignition. Toshiba industrial lithium-ion battery SCiB™ Industrial Pack do not emit a hazardous hydrogen gas and can be easily charged at worksites.

In case of conventional lithium-ion batteries, there is a risk of lithium metal deposition, which could break separator and cause internal short circuit when it is used for long period of time, under very cold temperature, or with high charging current. There is lower risk of lithium metal deposition in case of SCiB™.

Even in case of internal short circuit, there is lower risk of smoke or ignition on SCiB™ because it reduces short circuit current due to increase of resistance around internal short circuit area.

SCiB™ 23Ah cells and Industrial Pack comply with various safety standards.

It took 8 hours to charge a lead-acid battery, but SCiB™ Industrial Pack can drastically reduce the charging time. It can be charged even within 20 minutes if corresponding charger is available.

Rapid charging drastically reduces downtime caused by battery charging. Operations with a minimum number of AGVs enhance operational efficiency of AGVs.

Actual measurement data have proven that SCiB™ cells keep more than 70% of capacity after 20,000 times of SOC*100% charge-discharge cycles. There will be almost no capacity degradation expected after 20,000 times of SOC50%-90% charge-discharge cycles.

SCiB™ Industrial Pack does not require replacement for long time and reduces total cost of ownership!
It is also maintenance free!

Although lead-acid battery is cheaper if only considering the initial cost, you can enjoy lower total cost of ownership by SCiB™ Industrial Pack in the long run.

The longer life cycle reduces the environmental impact.

A lead-acid battery is large and heavy, and charging and replacing is hard work. However, the weight of Toshiba industrial lithium-ion battery SCiB™ Industrial Pack is a quarter (8 kg) of a lead-acid battery! This new lightweight battery reduces the workload.

Built-in BMU monitors the battery status, notify it to upper controller and protects the battery from abnormality (Over charge, Over discharge, Over current, High temperature).

Conventional lithium-ion battery need to be carefully handled and complicated circuit need to be combined for charge/discharge, protection and safety. However, it is simple to use Toshiba industrial lithium-ion battery SCiB™ Industrial Pack and you only need to turn on the start signal. Output circuit is designed to be interrupted when you turn off the signal.
