Drop-in energy Epsilor (Stand N9-256) is presenting its 6T batteries alongside other military vehicle and tactical batteries and chargers, and has announced that its lithium ion 6T battery ELI-52526 has completed an all-terrain field test of more than 3,000km on board armoured vehicles of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Since its release in 2017, the 6T ELI-52526 has been acquired by 10 customers worldwide, for use in a variety of military vehicles, and as energy banks for mobile shelters. The applications include ‘silent watch’ missions, ‘start-up’ and ‘start-stop’

missions, and energy storage. The ELI-52526 4.2kWh battery offers the highest energy density on the market, 1,000 deep discharge/charge cycles and a cold crank start of 1,100A at an ambient temperature of -19°C.
Generating 1,200A start current at a wide range of temperatures and a self-heating capability, the ELI-52526 offers several other features, such as ‘high current charge management’ that enables the battery to operate with high-power alternators without disconnecting as a result of high inrush current. This also enables the battery to perform autonomously in legacy vehicles that have no mission computers and cannot control the battery. Ronen Badichi, president of Epsilor-Electric Fuel, said: ‘‘As a drop-in replacement for existing batteries in legacy vehicle fleets, the integration of the ELI-52526 battery is smooth and straightforward. ‘‘There is no need to modify anything in the vehicle.’’ Q
