Epsilor has delivered the first COMBATT 6T batteries to Hanwha Defence Australia (HDA).

Marked ELI-52526-DM, the new battery stores 3,630Wh of energy, said to be the highest energy density in the market. The COMBATT battery has been down selected by HDA through a rigorous test process, for integration into the Redback Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV), which will be supplied to the Australian Army by HDA, as part of the LAND 400 Phase 3 Program.

With their unprecedented energy and power rates, COMBATT batteries support advanced armoured vehicles, ground robotics, tactical energy storage systems, missile launchers and radar systems.

COMBATT batteries have been delivered to numerous international defense companies and military users, including to the US, where they are undergoing rigorous tests according to the MIL-PRF-32565C standard, which will qualify the battery for use in the US ARMY. These tests include bullet penetration, extreme temperature performance and long cycle life, ensuring reliability in the most demanding military environments. Both versions are designed to support defense vehicles, tactical energy storage applications and ground military robotics.

Director, Sales & Marketing Merav Kolody Shubeli, said; “Whilst the Australian market sets a significant footprint in Epsilor’s global marketing activities, the global and growing demand for high energy density batteries for the Redback IFV, creates further opportunities for Epsilor to provide its COMBATT 6T batteries to new customers worldwide.”

Epsilor’s President, Ronen Badichi, said; “Epsilor is pleased to equip HDA with its market leading product, further extending our already known capabilities.”

Badichi added; “Being chosen by a global leader is a strong expression of trust in our technology.”
