■ Simplified processes in comparison to existing cell products, price competitiveness secured
■ Volume and weight reduced by at least 30%, energy density increased
■ Will expand market centering around automobiles, robots, wind power generators, UPS systems and ESSs


LS Materials announced on the 19^th the launch of CellDule, the first cell-module integrated ultracapacitor (UC) in the world.
 
This product eliminates the cell packaging step for batteries manufactured through a cell-module-pack process. As a result, the volume and weight are reduced by at least 30%, and the energy density is increased.
 
In addition, it secures price competitiveness by reducing the production process by more than half.
 
In the past, several cells were assembled into a module through packaging. With CellDule, however, a module is created directly by connecting the elements (jelly rolls) for storing electricity.
 
LS Materials expects that CellDule will rapidly replace existing cell products with its high energy density and price competitiveness.

“We are consulting with customers on using our product for the auxiliary batteries of automobiles,” said LS Materials CEO Hong Young-ho. “We will expand the market with a focus on robots, power generator turbines, UPS (uninterruptible power supply) systems and ESSs.”
 
CellDule was recently exhibited at PCIM Europe 2024 alongside a recently developed high power load control system, and drew attention for being evaluated as an innovative product.
 
UC is a special industrial battery with strengths including high-speed charging and discharging and a long lifespan. According to the industry, the global UC market scale is expected to increase by an average of 25% per year from USD 2.3 billion in 2020 to USD 8.5 billion by 2026.
