Old Electric recently uncovered Indias first indigenously developed lithium-ion cell called NMC 2170.
NMC 2170 is a high nickel cylindrical Ola cell. It comprises of Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt (NMC) on cathode side while graphite & silicon on anode side. It makes use of specific chemistry and materials, which helps the cell in packing more energy in a given space. It also improves overall life cycle of the lithium-ion cell. The cell has been developed by considering indigenous conditions at the core.
NMC 2170 was built in-house. Mass production of the cell will start at its upcoming Gigafactory by 2023.
