KULR Technology Group, Inc. announced the Company has successfully completed large format fractional thermal runaway calorimeter (?L-FTRC?) tests for 200 Amp-hour (Ah) high energy Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) prismatic format lithium-ion cells for its global automotive OEM customer. As the exclusive licensee of the L-FTRC technology from NASA, KULR is uniquely positioned to service customers in electric vehicles, grid energy storage and industrial applications with L-FTRC testing of their batteries in the global cell testing market estimated to reach $7 billion by 2030. During the onboarding process, KULR modified the design to be modular so that the mass of the system could be reduced or increased enough to sufficiently support ?mid?

sized lithium-ion cells (e.g. 30 Ah to 70 Ah) and very large cells (upwards of 200 Ah), respectively (the as licensed technology was only good for over 100 Ah capacity cells). Ongoing research and development activities seek to add additional instrumentation to the device to facilitate real time mass flow measurement of the gases and in-situ characterization of some of the more toxic gases, such as Hydrogen Fluoride (HF). Understanding HF concentrations is critical to achieving certification when using lithium-ion cells in applications that are used around people.
