New Launch: Molicel Debuts INR-21700-M65A and INR-21700-P60B, Pioneering High-Performance Battery Solutions for Electric Bicycles and Light Electrical Vehicles
Molicel, a leading battery manufacturer, has recently launched two new battery models, the INR-21700-M65A and INR-21700-P60B, designed specifically for the Light Electric Vehicle (LEV) market. These cutting-edge batteries are set to revolutionise the e-bike and LEV industries with their combination of longer range, higher power, improved safety, and faster charging.
The INR-21700-M65A (M Series) is ideal for city/urban e-bikes and e-motorcycles needing extended mileage. It boasts a high capacity of 6500 mAh, offering a significant 30% increase in driving range. With an exceptional energy density of 325 Wh/kg, the M65A provides longer operational times, making it a perfect choice for those seeking a balanced solution combining power, longevity, and fast charging.
The M65A offers a robust continuous discharge current of around 26A, suitable for diverse LEV applications. It delivers over 1000 full charge cycles, marking a 40% improvement in reliability compared to previous models. Enhanced safety features ensure its suitability for personal micromobility devices such as e-scooters, e-skateboards, and three-wheel electric recumbent bikes. Fast charging technology like USB PD 3.1 enables ultra-fast 240W charging through a USB-C interface, capable of a full charge in about an hour. Bidirectional charging allows the e-bike battery to power external devices such as phones.
On the other hand, the INR-21700-P60B (P Series) is engineered specifically for high-end e-mountain bikes (MTBs) that require maximum output and acceleration. With a capacity of 6000 mAh, it delivers among the highest energy density in the marketplace, providing powerful performance for demanding applications. The P60B boasts a low internal resistance of 12.8 mΩ and exceptional 5C fast charging capabilities, taking only 13 minutes to be fully charged.
Casey Shiue, President of Molicel, acknowledged the slow development of the e-bike and LEV battery industry, stating that these new batteries represent a significant advancement, similar to recent advancements in electric vehicles. Molicel's core commitment to safety is evident in intensive R&D focused on thermal behaviour, yielding cells with exceptionally low flammability. The P60B is ideal for cargo bikes and commercial fleet deployment due to its smooth and reliable operation.
In summary, the INR-21700-M65A and INR-21700-P60B batteries offer a significant leap forward for the e-bike and LEV markets, addressing both consumer and commercial needs with their combination of longer range, higher power, improved safety, and faster charging.
