The CALB L221N169A is an advanced Ternary Lithium (NCM) cell designed for projects where high energy density and minimum weight are non-negotiable. Known as the Lightweight Powerhouse, this 169Ah cell offers a significant weight advantage over traditional LiFePO4 chemistry, making it the premier choice for high-performance electric vehicles, marine propulsion, and aerospace applications.
Significant Weight Savings: At only 2.5kg per cell, the CALB L221N169A provides 169Ah of capacity while weighing much less than a comparable LFP cell. This allows for a lighter total battery pack, directly translating to increased range and better vehicle handling.
Higher Energy Output (Wh): The 3.7V nominal voltage means you get more Watt-hours (Wh) for the same Amp-hours (Ah) compared to 3.2V LFP cells, allowing you to build a more powerful system with fewer components.
Compact Precision Profile: Features a specialized footprint with a 220.6 mm width, 110 mm total height, and a thickness of 44.5 mm, optimized for high-density modular integration in space-sensitive environments.
Automotive-Grade Reliability: Manufactured using advanced Nickel Cobalt Manganese (NCM) chemistry to ensure consistent power delivery and thermal stability under high performance demands.
Produced to Order (No Aged Batches): We strictly follow a “Produced to Order” policy to ensure you receive the freshest chemical activity. Every CALB L221N169A we supply is freshly manufactured, specifically eliminating the performance risks associated with aged stock.
Full Grade A Traceability: We only supply authentic Grade A cells with original, intact QR codes. Every cell can be traced back to its production batch, ensuring consistent performance for professional series or parallel connections.
Bespoke Hardware & DDP Shipping: DLCPO provides customized connection hardware and seamless Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) logistics. We handle the entire supply chain—including customs clearance and import duties—delivering your fresh cells directly to your door with zero hidden fees.
A: The CALB L221N169A is engineered for extreme energy-to-weight ratios. Each cell weighs exactly 2.5kg. The precision body dimensions are 220.6 plus or minus 0.2 mm in width, 44.5 plus or minus 0.25 mm in thickness, and a total height (including terminals) of 110 plus or minus 0.4 mm.
A: Unlike LiFePO4 cells, this Ternary Lithium cell operates on a higher voltage platform. It features a 3.7V nominal voltage and a recommended operating range between 2.75V and 4.35V. Please ensure your Battery Management System (BMS) is specifically configured for NMC voltage parameters.
A: The primary advantage of the CALB L221N169A NMC chemistry is weight reduction and energy density. While LFP is excellent for stationary storage, NMC is the “Lightweight Powerhouse” preferred for mobile applications where reducing pack weight is critical for performance, acceleration, and total range.

High-Performance EV Solutions:
Electric Vehicles (EVs): High voltage (3.7V) and capacity (169Ah) reduce the number of cells needed for a pack.
Marine Propulsion: Lighter weight (2.5kg) improves speed and efficiency for electric boats.
Custom Battery Modules: Ideal for building 12S, 14S, or 20S high-voltage battery banks.
Robotics: High power density for industrial AGVs.
NMC Chemistry: This is NOT a LiFePO4 battery. Do not use LFP chargers. Requires a 4.2V or 4.35V charger.
BMS Mandatory: NMC cells are sensitive to over-voltage (>4.35V). A reliable BMS is strictly required to prevent fire hazards.
Thermal Management: Monitor temperature during high-current discharge.
