SVOLT VDA-117Ah 3.7V 117Ah NCM Prismatic Battery Cell – 250 Wh/kg Grade A Automotive Lithium-Ion for PHEV & High-Performance Packs

SVOLT VDA-117Ah: The High-Density NCM Advantage

The SVOLT VDA-117Ah is a high-performance prismatic cell built on NCM (Nickel Cobalt Manganese) chemistry. Unlike standard LiFePO4 cells, this NCM cell operates at a higher voltage ($3.7\text{V}$) and offers significantly higher energy density ($\sim 250\text{ Wh/kg}$), making it the superior choice for applications where weight and volume are restricted.

NCM vs. LiFePO4: Why Choose This Cell?

  • 🚀 Superior Energy Density: With a weight of only 1.73kg for 117Ah capacity, this cell achieves approximately 250 Wh/kg. This is roughly 50% higher than a comparable LFP cell, allowing for much lighter battery packs and longer vehicle range.

  • 📐 Standard VDA Format: The dimensions ($33 \times 220 \times 105\text{ mm}$) follow VDA standards, allowing for compatibility with many existing European EV battery modules and thermal management systems.

  • 2.2C Power Output: Designed for PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid) vehicles, it supports a continuous discharge rate of 2.2C. This ensures high torque delivery for acceleration and efficient energy recovery during braking.


🤝 Why Partner with DLCPO?

  • Chemistry Expertise: 我们准确区分 LFP 和 NCM 技术。We ensure you receive the correct Grade A cells with proper handling and storage to maintain their high-performance characteristics.

  • 🛡️ Safety First: NCM cells require precise management. We include a Free Sorting Service to match cell internal resistance ($\le 0.45\text{ m}\Omega$) and voltage, which is critical for the safety of high-energy NCM packs.

  • 🌐 Global Hazardous Shipping: Shipping NCM batteries (UN3480) requires strict compliance. DLCPO offers DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping to the USA, Europe, and Brazil, managing all dangerous goods regulations for you.

❓ Q:1:Can I use this to replace my LiFePO4 battery?
💡 A:

No. The voltage is different (3.7V vs 3.2V). You must use a BMS and charger designed for NCM/Li-ion (4.2V max charge). Using LFP settings will result in undercharging; using LFP equipment on NCM settings could be dangerous.

💡 A:

The dimensions (33 ×220 ×105mm) follow VDA standards, allowing for compatibility with many existing European EV battery modules and thermal management systems.

💡 A:

It is rated for 2,000 cycles. While lower than LFP (4000+), this is excellent for NCM chemistry and is the trade-off for the massive gain in energy density and weight reduction.

Warnings & Cautions

Stop charging cells if charging isn’t completed within the specified time.

Stop using cells if the battery becomes abnormally hot, develops an odor, becomes discolored, deformed, or develops any other abnormal conditions during use, charge, discharge, or storage.

Keep away from fire or hot heat sources immediately when a leakage or foul odors are detected. If liquid leaks onto your skin or cloths, wash it out with plenty of fresh water immediately if liquid leaks from cells and gets into your eyes, don’t rub your eyes. Wash your eyes out with plenty of clean water and seek medical attention immediately.

CRITICAL WARNING: This is an NCM (Ternary) cell, NOT LiFePO4. Nominal Voltage: 3.7V. Max Charge: 4.2V. Do not use with LFP chargers or BMS settings. Overcharging will cause fire.
