BA08 High Energy Density Battery Array with On-Board Charging System

At a thickness of 23mm millimeters, the EXA BA08 High Energy Density Battery Array is a power store/delivery device designed to provide the highest energy capacity and redundancy at 88Whr per bank. All BA08 modules have integrated quad chargers at 2C or 4C and integrated Isolated Power Core for custom serialization or parallelization. The embedded PowerFlex technology enables the user to discharge the battery array with a much higher power capacity for longer times to accommodate power peaks in the payloads without having to invest more.

 

BA08 enables your system to perform longer and better and pack more power than a similar sized satellite, the double-sided arrays are user-configurable to output 3.7V or 7.4V and can be serialized for much higher voltages. BA08, as all the batteries in this family, has the unique capability to charge and discharge simultaneously, giving you a longer mission time and extending the life of the battery. 

FEATURES

 

  • 23 mm thick with dual battery cells with 352 W/kg energy density

  • Very high energy density cells can power from 1U to 27U missions or small satellites up to 500 kg

  • Unique containment technology prevents swelling of the cells in a vacuum

  • The double-sided arrays can be used as serial or parallel (3.7V or 7.4V) user configurable

  • Multiple BA08 modules can be serialized or parallelized due to the Isolated Power Core (IPC)

  • Capability to charge and discharge at the same time (simultaneously)

  • Dual redundant cells ensure mission survivability

  • Embedded thermal sensor

  • Embedded automatic heating/cooling control using zero electrical power

  • Module of choice for Micro satellite COLOSSUS architectures assembly

  • Designed for LEO/MEO/GEO missions and requirements

  • Embedded End-of-Mission Battery Passivation System

  • Near-Zero self-discharge rate allows long waiting period times in LSP up to 9.10 years.

  • PowerFlex® technology allows high discharge capable for deep cycle payloads, up to 4C

  • Flight heritage positive TRL9 since 2013

  • Tested and qualified for more than 13 years
