Log9 Materials Achieves BIS Certification For LTO Batteries
Log9 Materials, an advanced battery solutions provider, has received certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for their LTO (Lithium Titanate Oxide) batteries. These Log9’s BIS-certified LTO batteries boast enhanced safety due to their inherent thermal and chemical stability, minimising the risk of fire or explosion compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries.
Additionally, these batteries are known for their ultra-fast charging capabilities and extended durability, offering a significantly higher number of charge and discharge cycles compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries, translating to a longer battery lifespan for electric vehicles. LTO batteries have applications in various sectors, including electric vehicles (EVs), two-wheeler and three-wheeler EVs, commercial vehicles, and energy storage systems.
Speaking about the achievement, Akshay Singhal, Co-Founder & CEO of Log9 Materials, said, "This is a great national milestone in India's journey of self-reliance in energy storage as Log9 gets validation for its capabilities to develop and process large-capacity lithium-ion battery cells.”
Firstly, BIS certification translates to enhanced safety for electric vehicles using Log9's LTO batteries. This builds trust among consumers and manufacturers, accelerating EV adoption in India.
Pankaj Sharma, Co-Founder & Director of Log9 Materials, said, “Log9 stands as the sole company in India equipped to deliver commercial-grade lithium-ion cells, exemplified by our 50 MWh commercial cell line. Achieving BIS certification for our cells fills us with pride and motivates us to further pioneer in cell innovation, characterisation, and the development of unique cell chemistries tailored for tropical climates.”
Additionally, BIS approval validates the rapid charging capabilities of LTO batteries, paving the way for faster charging infrastructure and improved user convenience. Finally, BIS compliance can unlock new financing avenues for Log9.
