Hibernia is the ancient name for Ireland a Greek geographer chose, as he sailed past in 320 BC. He must have marveled over the infinite variety of its emerald-green beauty as it rose from the sea. A Hibernium battery system built in Ireland is part of the green revolution. And there the comparison ends, except Hibernium enables you to pick and mix a battery to suit your requirements.
Pick and Mix the Make-Up of Your Battery
We thought this was a great idea in this world of one-size-suits-all, which it seldom does. A young mechanical engineer with the Irish name of Barry Flannery decided electric vehicle batteries were boring. And so, according to Financial Times, he decided to take on a bigger challenge.
Flannery’s niche market addresses the power needs of large “off-highway vehicles” such as diggers, loaders, heavy trucks and so on, that handle heavy loads. “There are hundreds of different vehicle platforms, architectures, shapes, sizes out there”, he assured Financial Times.
Power requirements range from 5-kilowatt-hours to 5,000, Flannery continues. This niche market may only call for ‘millions at best’ annually, he concedes . But it is growing as the call to electrify ships and trains becomes more insistent. The Irishman’s answer is stackable battery packs in almost any configuration.
Client Choices When they Order Batteries
The company manufacturing the modular, scaleable battery in Ireland offers its product in a range of chemistries, capacities, operating durations, and voltages. The product can be delivered in various configurations too, to optimize use of available space within mobile plant.
Clients can pick and mix a battery, and order quantity to meet their individual requirements. And, as an added bonus, the containers contain an insulating foam to help prevent thermal transfer between individual battery cells, modules and packs.
