The LEV Series batteries are specifically designed to meet the high power needs of pure electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV).

PRODUCT ADVANTAGES:

-High accurate control is possible because the voltage decreases gradually and the charge level is easy to detect.
-Low internal cell resistance means batteries give off little heat and are easily cooled.
-Because the height of battery is low, so it fits underneath the vehicle floorboard and leaves passengers with a roomy interior. . (EV use)
-Battery modules are compact because of their built-in cell sensors. (EV use)
-The prismatic shape makes it possible to reduce excess space requirements to the minimum when assembling battery packs, thus keeping battery installations small.
-Metal containers for each cell provide batteries with good heat radiation and excellent durability

The LEV Series are specifically designed for:

- Pure electric vehicles (EV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), and electric scooters

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT: New EV Distance World Record

An electric vehicle powered by lithium ion battery set a new world record on December 20, 1999 by covering more than 2,000 kilometers in 24-hours period. Japan Storage Battery constructed a battery for Mitsubishi Motor's electric vehicle prototype, the "FTO-EV" iIn collaboration with Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation. The FTO-EV's attempt at 24-hour EV distance record started on December 19, 1999 at 8:00 a.m. at Mitsubishi Motor's test track. After 24 hours the battery pack had powered the FTO-EV 899 times around the test track, covering a total of 2,142.3 kilometers. The Guinness Book of World Record noted the feat as the longest distance covered by an electric vehicle in 24 hours, shattering the old record of 1,700 kilometers by 442.3 kilometers.
