Supercharging the Future of Batteries at the International Battery Seminar 2024

Friday, February 9, 2024

AMETEK Specialty Metal Products (SMP), a leading manufacturer of precision strip materials, is set to showcase its highly conductive nickel strip at the 41st International Battery Seminar, taking place from March 12-15 in Orlando, Florida.

At Booth 917, AMETEK SMP's team of metallurgists will showcase a range of pure nickel strip products engineered through advanced Wrought Powder Metallurgy. This process minimizes impurities from forming and yields a nickel purity of 99.98%.

20% Higher Conductivity
The high purity of the strip increases the conductivity by 20% compared to traditional cast materials, setting a new standard for high-performance battery connectors.

Weight Saving Benefits
The key advantage lies in the superior conductivity, enabling a substantial reduction in the battery tab connector footprint, material weight, and overall cost. This innovation is transforming critical battery packs in electric vehicles, electronics, and space applications.

Hunter Stept, Business Development Engineer at AMETEK SMP, commented, "Our pure nickel strip delivers a 20% increase in conductivity, enabling efficient power transmission through a smaller, thinner strip. This breakthrough ensures significant battery pack weight savings without compromising on performance.”

The 41st International Battery Seminar stands as a global platform for energy storage advancements, covering electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and industrial applications.
