Expion360 Inc. has introduced a new 12 Volt 450 Ah e360 SmartTalk?? lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery featuring breakthrough cell technology that increases energy density by more than 32% as compared to traditional 3.4 Ah 26650 cells. Delivering this energy-dense technology is an advanced re-engineered 4.5 Ah 26650 lithium-ion cell encased in a specially designed cylindrical body.

The technological advancement is due to a new proprietary anode/cathode design that increases the energy density by nearly a third while maintaining the similar cost weight and size of traditional cells. The new battery and cell technology addresses the fast-growing global lithium-ion battery market projected to grow at a 13.2% CAGR to reach $93.3 billion by 2028, according to IMARC. As with all e360 batteries, the new 450 Ah e360 SmartTalk?

combines outstanding capacity and great aesthetics, with superior construction and durability for rugged outdoor environments. The new battery also features Expion360's recently introduced Bluetooth smart technology that is controlled by the new e360 SmartTalk? app, available for free on Apple and Android mobile devices.

The intuitively designed app enables the seamless integration and wireless management of any e360 Bluetooth-enabled lithium battery. The new 450 Ah battery is the company's second Bluetooth-enabled e360 SmartTalk? battery to launch this year.

In June, the company announced a 48 Volt GC2 LiFePO4 e360 SmartTalk battery which was specially engineered to set a new standard for powering electric golf carts and other light electric vehicles (LEVs). The system is designed to be especially useful for LEV operators and especially those managing multiple vehicles. Expion360 expects to begin taking pre-orders for the new 450 Ah e360 SmartTalk battery starting in the fourth quarter of this year, with shipments beginning in the first quarter of 2024.
