KULR Technology Announces Battery Solution for Space Applications
CAMPBELL, Calif., June 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KULR Technology Group, Inc. (OTCQB: KULR) (the “Company” or “KULR”), a leading developer of thermal management technologies, announced today a passive propagation resistant (PPR) battery design solution for space applications, including both trigger and product cells, for lithium ion battery testing and safety, which is critical for the estimated $146 million global space battery market by 2023. KULR’s PPR design solution prevents cell to cell thermal runaway propagation and inhibits the fire and ejecta of a single cell from exiting the battery enclosure.
KULR's VEGA internal short circuit technology allows the user to identify and study any safety issues with a cell or battery pack design. It can be used as a valuable research tool for research institutes, battery manufacturers, or OEMs who wish to improve both the performance and safety of their Li-ion battery packs. KULR's suite of battery solutions offers both 18650 and 21700 trigger and product cells with top vent only or top and bottom vent.
KULR also provides a product cell screening service. In order to weed out damaged or defective cells before they become dangerous, cell screening catches latent defects in cells early in the process rather than after it's too late -- once the ageing process has taken its toll on the faulty cell.

KULR currently works with NASA’s Marshall Space Center and NASA’s Ames Research Center on the PPR CubeSat battery design to meet the JSC 20793 Revision D safety standard created by NASA for a crewed space mission. Also, KULR’s HYDRA thermal runaway shield technology was recently deployed to the International Space Station to store laptop batteries and also is currently being tested by a Tier-1 medical device maker, an electric aircraft maker, and others.
The PPR design is an integrated solution that combines KULR’s HYDRA thermal runaway shield, KULR’s LYRA internal short circuit testing methodology, and NASA’s Fractional Thermal Runaway Calorimeter cell analysis technology to provide total battery safety. KULR’s HYDRA thermal runaway shield has been proven by various government testing authorities to stop or mitigate the impacts of dangerous lithium-ion battery failures known as thermal runaway.
“We are proud of our battery solution for space applications and honored to work on the important issue of battery safety,” said Michael Mo, CEO of KULR. “We are continuously evolving and improving our testing tools and safety solutions and we look forward to sharing them with any customer who relies on safe and efficient battery technology.”
