Litarion GmbH Information

Litarion GmbH, since April 2015 a subsidiary of a Canadian specialist for electrical energy storage systems, Electrovaya, is a mid-sized company with approx. 170 employees located in Kamenz, Germany. Litarion produces lithium-ion battery cells for high performance applications, such as mobile and stationary electrical energy storage, automotive applications and many more. Furthermore, Litarion is Germany’s leading manufacturer of high quality electrodes and full ceramic separators for this type of batteries and supplies these components to battery manufacturers all over the world. Battery cells by Litarion („LITACELL LC-40“) feature unparalleled cycle and performance data (e. g., 9000 cycles at full charge/discharge, high power capability, etc.) based on Litarion’s profound know-how in the fabrication of cells and their components. The full ceramic SEPARION® separator resists temperatures as high as 250°C without degradation or even shrinkage, thus providing superior safety properties to the cells. Litarion has many years of experience in serial production according to automotive quality standards (ISO 9001, ISO/TS 16949). The ceramic SEPARION® separator is available in any geometry required by the customer. Electrodes can be designed and sampled according to customer’s specifications and be advanced to a serial product within very reasonable time frame. Production capacity of lithium-ion cells currently reaches a medium six digit number of cells per year. Capacity of cell components (electrodes, ceramic separator) is approx. 500 MWh per year.
