Proventia, a supplier of emission control systems, thermal insulation components and batteries, has introduced its new Proventia Energy LFP-based battery pack.

Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology is a good option for heavy machinery due to its cost efficiency and long lifespan, the company said. The high-energy, high-voltage battery systems are suitable for continuous operation over extended periods.

“The benefits of this new product are remarkable, from exceptional engineering to high-quality European origins,” the company said, referring to its use of cells from Morrow Batteries, a Norwegian cell producer.

Proventia explained that the LFP chemistry inside the battery pack “delivers consistent energy,” making it well-suited to applications such as heavy work machines, wheel loaders and tractors, among others.  It can be incorporated within either an electric installation or a hybrid installation.

In addition, the Proventia Energy battery pack supports more cycles, over 6,500 charges, and operates throughout a wider temperature range, -20° C to +55° C, than the company’s lithium titanate oxide (LTO) batteries. The LFP battery packs can utilize the full capacity of the battery, Proventia said.

The LFP technology in Proventia Energy battery packs is also more environmentally friendly than LTO technology, the Finnish company said, because it does not contain nickel, cobalt or manganese. 

Proventia will showcase the new battery at the Bauma—shorthand in German for Baumaschinen, or construction equipment—a triannual trade show held in Munich for construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines, construction vehicles and construction equipment.
