The Li-ion battery utilises Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) chemistry, which is safer and more efficient than lead acid and other types of Li-ion batteries.
Key features of Green Cubes’ battery are a state of charge measurement update for stable tracking, improved isolation with CAN and USB communication interfaces, advanced technician software and diagnostic trouble codes to improve diagnostics, an IP54-designed battery control module with easy access for servicing, common parts to reduce spare part inventory requirements, and a power distribution board to eliminate I/O harness and inline components.
Robin Schneider, Director of Marketing at Green Cubes, said: “Airlines and airports worldwide are committed to reducing carbon emissions and enhancing sustainability. Converting GSE to electric power, particularly using Li-ion batteries, is a straightforward and impactful step in this direction.”
Joe Richards, Vice President of Product Management, added: “LFP chemistry is safer, more environmentally friendly, and provides a superior cycle life. In addition, we are implementing design features specifically to address the needs of GSE, developed from our years of experience in this industry.”
