About

The ABSL CM230 in 8s4p topology is a Li-ion space battery built on the ABSL P20 cell, configured for a 28 V spacecraft bus.

At 2.05 kg and 236.8 Wh it suits SmallSat applications for new space missions. Whether for SmallSat applications or large multi-module battery configurations for cornerstone space agency programmes, EnerSys Space can provide the solution.

ABSL batteries have logged over 6.5 billion cell hours in space without a mission failure, and include the longest operating rechargeable Li-ion battery in space and the batteries trusted to power the James Webb Telescope.
