CUTTING-EDGE MULTI-CHEMISTRY BATTERY TECHNOLOGY FOR AN AFFORDABLE, SAFER AND CLEANER FUTURE

With the UK’s clear drive to meet the net zero emissions target by 2050 and the high demand in cell manufacturing, Chimera Energy’s aim is to address both battery pack remanufacture for the Circular Economy and cost effective benefits of multi-chemistry power-energy.

ABOUT

The Founder, Innovator and Battery Engineer, Chris Hale, gained knowledge developing and evolving battery technologies over the last 22 years.  Chris has led developments including the first Li-ion battery system to enter service with the Ministry of Defence and the first Lithium Sulphur battery system for a manned electric aircraft.   

After running his consultancy company, Upgrade Technology Engineering, and achieving considerable insight within the energy sector (including 8 published BESTMAG battery articles and completing 11 patents), Chimera Energy was formed in 2020. 

PROPRIETARY WELD-FREE TECHNOLOGY

BATTERY PACK

The  battery pack enables ease of re-use of core components allowing just cells to be replaced with a reduced Co2 of 1.9 tonnes per EV.

Designed to meet UN38.3 certification and additional vibration failure mitigations

WASTE REDUCTION

Re-manufacturability and reuse of core components – 0.5T Co2 per EV saved. 

RECYCLABILITY

Cryogenic shipping of cells supports cell shredding to recover raw materials – 0.4T Co2 per EV saved 

MAINTAINABILITY

Modules can be replaced or upgraded throughout the life of the EV.

The Technology

With more emphasis on new cell technologies being developed, our patented technology is perfectly positioned to provide an alternative and effective solution in the energy sector.

CHIMERA Energy has developed a patented Multi-Chemistry Battery (MCB) solution in an easy-to-maintain battery pack which leverages the chemistry attributes specifically to a vehicle’s behaviour for optimal performance.  

In addition to the hybridised technology, the system will also allow you to track the state of health of your key components allowing you to address any faults as and when needed. This will provide an overall 30-50% cost saving but above all, help the Circular Economy by considerably reducing raw material demand, manufacturing and waste.

HOW IT WORKS​

Chimera’s MCB approach automatically regulates power sharing in the different chemistries to enhance performance of a specified application.    

Every chemistry has its own attribute.  Power density, energy density, cycle life, safety, environments and even costs are major factors.  Mixing cell chemistries mitigates the weakness of one type of chemistry with strengths of another.  This has several benefits allowing the battery to last longer and be tailored around the application in any environment.  It also monitors behaviour and identifies each cell’s State of Health (SoH) to reduce risk and increase efficiency and longevity.

Our innovative battery pack design and intelligent BMS will allow users to monitor key components of the battery and replace them with ease avoiding unnecessary disposal.  In most cases, battery cells can be safely reused for other applications.

This in turn, reduces mining raw materials and transportation helping the circularity of our economy.

What are the benefits?

MODULAR


The design allows scalability of the battery packs to ensure all-electric vehicle markets are addressed with ease. 

SAFE


SoH tracking and MCB power control / isolation reduces thermal runaway and fire risk. 

2ND LIFE COST


Weld-Free enables reduced rework cost and re-use of core components reduces total repurposing and workshop costs to 35% of total 2nd life cost. 

ADAPTABILITY


Tailored energy based on an EV application requirements

IMPROVED PERFORMANCE & EFFICIENCY


Higher power capability & improved temperature operation

EXTENDED LIFE


And warranty through priority utilisation of high cycle life cells and optimal power management

IMPROVED SAFETY


By reducing dependence on higher risk chemistries by 50%

COSTS


Ability to use cheaper chemistries to reduce costs and reduce Cobalt usage by 50%

INTELLIGENCE


BMS allows us to track the State of Health (SoH) of key components within the battery system allowing:

- Isolation of modules
- Cell degradation
- Temperature mitigation
- Redundancy failure
- Reduced warranty repairs & replacements
