ATB Inc Thermal Batteries
 
 

Technology excellence

ATB is the only US Company offering a full range of Li based and metal disulfide electrochemical options. ATB can provide the best trade-off between performance and cost because of this wide range of options.

The general distinction of thermal battery technologies is related to the type of anodes. From an electrochemical point of view, lithium is the most valuable element due to its high reducing potential and its high specific coulombic capacity. As its melting point is lower than the thermal battery operating temperature, alloyed forms are used such as LiAl (Lithium Aluminum) or LiSi (Lithium Silicon). We also offer our patented lithium-iron mixture, named LAN (Lithium Anode), an exclusive ASB-Group technology. which results in higher cell voltage, higher power and improved safety. For very specific applications, Calcium anodes may also be used.

None of these technologies would pretend being the universal solution. ATB has gained technical and manufacturing expertise with all of them and will provide you with the optimum combination to meet your specific requirements. Combined with the extensive use of our predictive thermal battery model, our technology range is your guarantee for an optimal custom design.
