Recent progresses of LG Chem's large-format Li ion polymer batteries

We report here on the advances we have made in developing large-format Li ion polymer batteries for automotive applications. These include HEV, EREV as well as EVs. While vehicles using the high power cells were already in the market, vehicles using the high energy cells have just been introduced. Considerable research and development work over the past several years has enabled us to develop cell and pack technologies which meet the performance, life and abuse-tolerance requirements for automotive applications.
