LTO is a rechargeable battery based on the, or modified from, the Lithium-Ion (li-ion) battery technology. Li-titanate oxide (LTO) replaces the graphite in the anode of the typical Li-Ion battery and forms the materials into a spinel 3D crystal structure. Having a nominal cell voltage of 2.40V, it releases a high discharge current that is 10 times the magnitude of other types of lithium batteries. Instead of using carbon particles on its surface as other lithium batteries do, Lithium Titanate utilizes lithium-titanate nanocrystals.
Lithium Titanate batteries' benefits range from long lifetime to enhanced safety, low-temperature performance and large potential for integration with energy storage solutions:
Extremely Long Lifetime
Rapid Battery Charging and Discharging
Enhanced Safety
Low-Temperature Performance
Storing LTO cells:
Capacity loss in storage is 2 % / month, fully reversible up to 45ºC
