SVOLT VDA-137Ah 3.7V High-Density NCM Prismatic Battery Cell – Grade A Automotive Standard for High-Performance EVs & Drones

SVOLT VDA-137Ah: The High-Density NCM Solution The SVOLT VDA-137Ah distinguishes itself from standard LFP cells by utilizing NCM (Nickel Cobalt Manganese) chemistry. This advanced formulation delivers a nominal voltage of 3.7V and an incredible energy density of >255Wh/kg, making it the preferred choice for applications where weight and space are critical constraints.

Why Choose NCM over LFP?

  • 🚀 Superior Energy Density: At 255Wh/kg, this cell holds nearly 50% more energy per kilogram than a standard LFP cell. This allows for significantly lighter battery packs, directly improving vehicle range and payload capacity.

  • 📐 Standard VDA Format: The cell is built to the VDA standard dimensions (52x148x112 mm). This German automotive industry standard ensures compatibility with a wide range of existing EV modules and thermal management systems, simplifying integration.

  • High Voltage Performance: With a working voltage range of 2.5V to 4.4V, NCM cells provide a higher average voltage under load compared to LFP, delivering more power to motors for high-performance driving.


🤝 Why Partner with DLCPO?

  • Chemistry Expertise: We understand the specific handling requirements of NCM batteries. DLCPO ensures you receive Grade A cells that have been properly stored and maintained to preserve their high-performance characteristics.

  • 🎯 Precision Matching: NCM packs require strict balancing. We provide a Free Sorting Service, matching cells by voltage and internal resistance to ensure your high-voltage pack remains balanced and safe during operation.

  • 🌐 Global Dangerous Goods Shipping: Shipping high-energy NCM cells requires strict compliance. We offer DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping to the USA, Europe, and Brazil, handling all UN3480 Class 9 regulations for you.

❓ Q:1:Can I replace my LiFePO4 cells with these SVOLT NCM cells?
💡 A:

No. The voltage is different (3.7V vs 3.2V). You would need to change your BMS (Battery Management System) and charger to compatible NCM/Li-ion settings (4.2V-4.4V charge voltage) to ensure safe operation.

💡 A:

VDA stands for the German Association of the Automotive Industry. This cell size (roughly 148mm long) is a standardized format used by many European car manufacturers, ensuring broad compatibility with professional EV chassis designs.

💡 A:

While possible, NCM cells are typically more expensive and have a shorter cycle life (1300+) compared to LFP (4000+). They are better suited for EVs, drones, or portable power where light weight is more important than 20-year longevity.

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.

Notice: This is an NCM (Ternary) cell, NOT LiFePO4. Nominal voltage is 3.74V, max charge 4.4V. Use a compatible NCM BMS. Do not overcharge or overheat.
