At the heart of energy

The Thermal Battery is composed of a series of cells each one having an anode, electrolyte, cathode and a heating mass. The electrolyte, which functions as a separator between the anode and the cathode remains solid until activation whereas in conventional batteries it is usually a liquid.

The cells all remain completely inert while the battery is being stored.

In each battery, the necessary number of cells are connected in series or parallel, or a combination of both, in order to produce the required voltage level(s).

At the moment of activation the pyrotechnic material (heat source) is ignited and releases energy into the cells. The temperature increases, the electrolyte melts and ion exchange takes place : the power in the cell is thus liberated.

The electrical current is transmitted through the terminals to external cabling to provide the energy required to the load.
