Egypt cylindrical battery as outdoor power source

Can batteries solve Egypt's Electricity oversupply problem?

Egypt is exploring the potential of energy storage through batteries to combat our electricity oversupply problem: As Egypt continues to suffer from a major oversupply of electricity, the country is in need of new ways to tackle the issue.

How can Egypt store electricity?

Egypt has been looking at a number of ways to store electricity as part of its ambitions to grow renewable energy capacity to cover 42% of the country’s electricity needs by 2030. These include upgrading its power grid and incorporating pumped-storage hydroelectricity stations to help store electricity for future use.

Why are cylindrical batteries important?

The importance of cylindrical batteries is only growing because they are used widely from small electronic devices to EVs. In line with the trend, LG Energy Solution has continued researching and developing cylindrical batteries to improve their capacity and performance.

What is a cylindrical battery?

* LEV: Light Electric Vehicles. They include electric bikes, scooters, and wheelchairs. A cylindrical battery has a mechanically stable “thick can” structure, meaning it is basically very safe. This feature allows the application of various and most advanced materials to it ahead of other types of batteries.

What is a battery used for?

These batteries are widely used for devices that require a sudden high output such as power tools as well as LEVs and EVs due to their high energy density and capacity. They can be used for various applications easily and quickly as they come in standardized sizes such as 1865 and 2170.

What are electric scooter batteries used for?

Batteries have been adopted for a variety of applications ever since. We developed the 1865 cylindrical battery to provide to manufacturers of electric scooters and power tools in 2006 and broadened the application of these batteries in earnest, putting them in LEVs* and then high-performance EVs from 2016.
