Frankfurt, Germany
Continental’s development and
production service provider, Continental Engineering Services and battery
specialist Varta and have jointly developed an innovative product for the
two-wheeler market.
Continental Engineering Services (CES) and Varta developed a replaceable 48-volt battery pack for electrically powered two-wheelers with a power of 10 kW and more. The battery pack consists of VARTA’s V4Drive high-performance cell based on lithium-ion technology, which is characterized by its high performance, fast chargeability, low temperature resistance and compact design. A specially developed battery management system from CES now allows the use of this extremely powerful battery cell in automotive two-wheeler applications.
The lightweight (nine kg) battery
pack gives a range of 50 kilometers and power of 10 kW. It can be detached from
the two-wheeler with a simple pull and charged externally. In addition, any
number of battery packs can be connected and controlled via the new battery
management systems. As a result, the range of an e-scooter can be doubled to
100 kilometres by using two batteries.
This innovative technology closes a
gap in the rapidly growing market for battery-powered vehicles. The cooperation
between two major established corporations now makes this technological leap
possible.
Founded in 2006 as fully-owned
subsidiary of Continental, Continental Engineering Services (CES) has evolved into an
agile and flexible engineering services and component manufacturing partner for
the automotive and other industries including railway, aeronautics, marine,
mining and smart cities.
VARTA AG produces and markets a comprehensive battery portfolio from microbatteries, household batteries and energy storage systems to customer-specific battery solutions for a variety of applications, and sets industry standards as a technology leader in important areas.
