Trontek, an EV battery manufacturer, has announced the launch of its Lithium Phosphate (LFP) EV batteries. With this, the company has become one of the first in India to have its range of LFP and NMC batteries AIS-certified in both phases, in compliance with the EV battery standards set by MoRTH (Ministry of Road Transport and Highways) in September last year.
The phase-2 certification means that Trontek’s Li-ion batteries now meet stringent safety requirements for battery safety, reliability, and performance. These include thermal protection, audio-visual warning systems and IPX7, including smart BMS and Smart CAN enabled chargers.
As per Samrath Kochar, Founder & CEO, Trontek, Trontek has achieved the AIS-156 certification for the entire range of e-2W and e-3W batteries, and also received approval for its LFP battery chemistry. This is a major milestone that the company has achieved well in time, complying with the new norms, and ensuring a safe EV ecosystem in the country. The rigorous certification process involves comprehensive tests to ensure that the batteries can withstand various factors, while assuring customers of their safety and reliability. He further adds that Trontek has been pioneering tech innovation in EV batteries for years, and its primary aim is to provide safe products that customers can completely rely upon. The government has been persistent in promoting ease of manufacturing and encouraging innovation in the battery manufacturing segment, be it in terms of providing subsidies or even amending the EV battery testing standards and implementing them.
Trontek’s NMC batteries offer up to 3.6 KWh for E2W while LFP batteries offer 1.5 kWh to 3.64 kWh for E2W, and 5.35 KWh to 10.7 for E3W. The new compliant NMC batteries have completed over 50,000 Km on-road testing validation for E2W and, and LFP batteries have completed 75000 Km for E2W-E3W correspondingly.
Trontek was one of the first companies to receive AIS 156 certification in the first phase of AIS 156, last year. With the second phase certification, the company is committed to providing safe and reliable batteries for the country’s growing EV ecosystem.
