3. Performance Characteristics

3.1 Wide Temperature Operation

The 3.2V 100Ah maintains stable charging and discharging performance across a broad temperature range of -50°C to +60°C, ensuring operational reliability in extreme environments.
At -50°C, discharge capacity retention remains ≥55%, while at 60°C, the retention exceeds 95% — demonstrating excellent electrochemical stability and temperature resilience.

3.2 High-Rate Charge and Discharge

Engineered for high-power applications, the cell supports continuous discharge currents up to 500A (5C) and short-term pulse currents up to 600A (6C). The internal resistance ≤0.4mΩ ensures low heat generation and superior energy efficiency even under heavy loads.

3.3 Cycle Life and Durability

Under standard testing at 25°C, the cell achieves ≥8000 cycles with ≥70% capacity retention. Even at low temperatures (-10°C), it sustains ≥1500 cycles, confirming its robustness for long-term ESS and EV operations.

3.4 Safety and Reliability

Comprehensive safety testing ensures compliance with international standards:

· Free fall test (1.5m) — No fire, no leakage

· Squeeze test (200kN) — No explosion

· Overcharge to 5.475V (1C) — No fire, no venting

· Over-discharge (1C for 90 min) — No thermal runaway

· Short circuit test (5mΩ, 10min) — No abnormal reaction

· Vibration, low-pressure, and thermal cycling tests — Passed all criteria without leakage or deformation

These results confirm the Himax 3.2V 100Ah as a high-safety lithium-ion battery suitable for critical systems operating in dynamic or hazardous environments.
