We evaluated Saft Ultra High Power (UHP) cells (Saft designation VL5U) to determine their rate capability, low temperature performance, storage, and cycle life. The energy and power density at 5 A (1C) were 45 Wh/kg and 55 W/kg, respectively; at 1000 A (200C) were 25 Wh/kg and 10 kW/kg, respectively; and at a 500 A rate, the energy densities were 35, 29, and 29 Wh/kg at 20, -20, and -40 ...
