Top 10 low-temperature battery manufacturers in the world

Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely used in fields such as electric vehicles and portable electronic devices due to their battery high energy density, high operating voltage, and excellent cycling stability.

In this article introducing the top 10 low-temperature battery manufacturers in the world is the main content and some relevant information about the low-temperature battery will be mentioned.

What’s low-temperature battery

Low-temperature battery is a type of battery specifically designed to operate efficiently and provide stable power output even in low temperature environments. Compared with conventional batteries, low-temperature batteries have better low-temperature resistance performance, and even under extreme cold conditions, their internal chemical reactions can remain active, ensuring that the battery capacity and output power of the battery do not significantly decrease. 

The commonly used low-temperature batteries in the market now include low-temperature sodium ion batteries, low-temperature lithium polymer batteries, low-temperature 18650 lithium batteries, and low-temperature lithium iron phosphate batteries.

Top 10 low-temperature battery manufactures in the world
