On schedule, 24M has successfully delivered an initial quantity of production-size battery cells to NEC Energy Solutions, Inc. (NEC ES), meeting the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) the two companies signed last year at this time.
“This is a significant milestone for 24M, and meeting the deadlines set forth in the MOU reflects our commitment to a productive partnership with NEC Energy Solutions,” said Chris Campbell, chief marketing officer at 24M. “We look forward to working with the NEC ES team through this testing and validation phase as we also prepare the next delivery milestone in early 2017.”
On October 13, 2015, 24M and NEC ES announced the signing of an MoU whereby 24M agreed to supply its semisolid lithium-ion cells for use in NEC ES’ integrated storage systems. Unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries, the 24M battery cells are optimized to withstand the rigors of the long cycle and calendar life required by grid-scale energy storage and other high-performance applications. In addition, the new 24M cell design enables innovations in manufacturing that cut today’s lithium-ion battery costs by up to 50%.
