Wedoany.com Report-Apr. 2, On March 28, CORNeX, a lithium battery manufacturer based in Hubei Province, introduced its fourth-generation lithium iron phosphate (LFP) energy storage cell, boasting a capacity of 472 Ah. The unveiling showcased a significant upgrade in energy storage technology from the company.

The new cell, sized at 74mm by 220mm by 225mm, builds on the design of its predecessor, the 314Ah “Long π” model. It retains the same proprietary material formulas and automated production methods, ensuring dependable performance, thermal stability, safety standards, and consistent manufacturing quality. CORNeX highlighted that these features, combined with a notable boost in capability, set the cell apart.

With a nominal energy of 1,510.4 Wh per cell, the new model delivers a 50% increase over the 314 Ah version. This leap stems from a gravimetric energy density of 195 Wh/kg and a volumetric density of 420 Wh/L. These figures push the boundaries of what’s achievable with LFP chemistry, nearing its theoretical limits, according to the company.

The design continuity from the “Long π” cell allows CORNeX to maintain reliability while enhancing energy output. The larger capacity and improved density make the 472 Ah cell a strong contender for energy storage applications, offering efficiency without sacrificing safety or stability.

CORNeX’s latest release reflects its ongoing efforts to refine LFP technology. By sticking to established production processes and materials, the company ensures scalability and quality, while the performance jump positions the cell as a practical solution for growing energy demands. The unveiling on March 28 marks a step forward in Hubei Province’s role as a hub for battery innovation.
