About

The ABSL CM1040 in 8s18p topology is a Li-ion space battery built on the ABSL P20 cell, configured for a 28 V spacecraft bus.

EnerSys ABSL products have been successfully powering spacecraft since 2000. Whether for SmallSat applications for new space missions or large multi-module battery configurations for cornerstone space agency programmes, EnerSys Space can provide the solution.

ABSL supplied the longest operating rechargeable Li-ion battery in space, the first to orbit Earth, Mars and Venus, the closest to orbit the sun, and the batteries trusted to power the James Webb Telescope. ABSL batteries have logged over 6.5 billion cell hours in space without a mission failure.
