Electric mobility specialist Ennovi has announced the market launch of a contacting system for prismatic battery cells, named CellConnect-Prism. Created at the end of 2023 through the spin-off of the electric division from the Interplex Group, Ennovi aims to revolutionize battery pack production with its innovative technology.
According to Ennovi, CellConnect-Prism enables the integration of individual prismatic cells to create larger battery modules or extended cell-to-pack and cell-to-chassis configurations. The system streamlines the assembly process, eliminates inefficiencies, accelerates battery pack production, optimizes material usage, and reduces costs, the company stated in a press release.
A key innovation of CellConnect-Prism is the use of a die-cut circuit (FDC) instead of the conventional flexible printed circuit (FPC). This approach reduces production time and costs, minimizes environmental impact, and ensures optimum heat resistance and component attachment with the use of automotive-grade PET material and a special soldering process. Voltage and temperature measurements are integrated directly into the assembly.
“Traditionally, prismatic cell contacting systems have relied on current collector assembly (CCA) technologies, which often suffer from inherent inefficiencies,” said Randy Tan, Product Portfolio Director, Battery Platform Development Solutions at Ennovi. “However, ENNOVI-CellConnect-Prism revolutionizes this approach by introducing innovative features that enhance performance and sustainability.”
Ennovi, headquartered in Singapore, focuses on battery, power, and signaling solutions for the next generation of electric vehicles. With more than 7,000 employees across 15 locations, the company is poised to drive innovation in the electric mobility sector.
