GS Yuasa Lithium Power (GYLP) announced today that GS Yuasa Technology LTD (GYT) has successfully completed qualification testing of the new LSE12x lithium-ion (Li-ion) cell .

Key Points: 
  • GS Yuasa Lithium Power (GYLP) announced today that GS Yuasa Technology LTD (GYT) has successfully completed qualification testing of the new LSE12x lithium-ion (Li-ion) cell .
  • The LSE12x cell (12Ah, 3.75V, 45Wh) is the smallest space qualified Li-ion cell manufactured by GS Yuasa and is intended to align with the market's expansion toward smaller spacecraft, including those with high power requirements, as well as human rated missions.
  • The LSE12x cell form factor is inspired by GS Yuasas mature commercial aviation and automotive cell designs.
  • From this heritage foundation, the cells structure was enhanced to tolerate launch and space environments enabling the LSE12x cell to meet strict performance, reliability and cost objectives.
