LTO Battery Technology for Efficient Peak Shaving in Mobile & Stationary Use

Peak shaving helps manage short-term power demand spikes by using battery storage instead of expanding energy pro¬vision. For industries running cranes, drills, pumps or other heavy equipment, this is a way to avoid oversizing grid con¬nections and/or generators – while reducing emissions and improving economic efficiency.

The key is choosing a battery that delivers high power, handles frequent cycling, safety, and keeps investment low. And that’s where Lithium Titanium Oxide (LTO) excels.

• High power charging → improve operating conditions and efficiency
• Long life → decreasing TCO
• High reliability and safety → avoid any business interruption

Engineered for exceptional cycle life and rapid charge/dis¬charge capability, LTO technology prioritizes throughput and high C-rate performance over energy density. In applications where range is not critical, LTO enables compact, lightweight, and economically efficient systems that deliver dynamic pow¬er consumption with enhanced operational efficiency.

Its outstanding properties allow you to use it in fundamental¬ly different ways, combining the advantages of a lithium-ion battery’s higher energy density with the powerful operating conditions like a supercapacitor.

Additional the LTO anode’s higher electrochemical potential and zero-strain structure consequently avoids the risk of dendrite formation and internal short circuits. With lithium-ion batteries, this risk increases over the course of their service life, which can be avoided with LTO over the entire service life of the battery. These characteristics position SCiB™ among the safest battery technologies currently available.

• No SEI growth → minimal ageing
• Zero strain” structure → ultra-high cycle life
• No plating, No dendrites → extremely low fire hazard
