H4AF High-power anode-free pouch cell
H4AF

The H4AF from SES AI is an NMC, anode-free pouch cell rated at 4.1 Ah typical capacity and 15.7 Wh typical energy, with a 3.82 V nominal voltage. Its gravimetric energy density is specified at 450 Wh/kg at 25°C, 100% depth of discharge, and C/5. The cell weighs 34.9 ± 1.0 g and uses a compact pouch format measuring 71.5 ± 1.0 mm in length, 48.5 ± 0.5 mm in width, and 4.4 ± 0.2 mm in thickness at 0% state of charge.

The H4AF is specified for a maximum continuous discharge rate of 12C and a maximum 20C pulse at 50% state of charge, 25°C, for 30 seconds. Its operating data covers discharge from -30 to 60°C and charging from 0 to 45°C. The brochure also documents discharge behavior from 0.2C through 12C, charge profiles from 0.33C to 3C, and temperature-dependent discharge at 45°C, 25°C, 0°C, and -30°C. Under the stated +0.2C/-1C cycle-life test, the cell exceeds 100 cycles to 80% SOH at 25°C with 150 psi applied pressure, compared with more than 10 cycles at 0 psi.
