Altech Batteries (ASX:ATC) has reported excellent progress on its ABS60 60 kiloWatt per hour (kWh) CERENERGY battery prototypes.
Last year, production commenced on two 60 kWh battery prototypes, a substantial upgrade from the initial 5 kWh and 10 kWh units.
Altech’s German Government partner, Fraunhofer IKTS’, initiated a pilot line in Hermsdorf, Germany, which underwent an extensive redesign to accommodate the manufacturing of these prototypes.
The company integrated innovative tools and machinery specifically tailored for 60 kWh battery cells so that each battery pack comprises 240 CERENERGY® cells, and each is rated at 2.5 Volts.
The batteries are organised into four rows of 12 cells stacked five modules high at 2.6 metres, boasting weatherproof and resilience properties.
Altech has received all the necessary prototype materials from suppliers and its ceramic tubing manufacturing is 50 per cent complete.
Two battery vacuum casings were delivered and are undergoing heat loss testing, with the final prototypes ready by mid-2024.
ATC shares were up 5.5 per cent, trading at 5.7 cents at 11:05 am AEDT.
