LTC’s Product Portfolio
Present cylindrical cells range
in capacity from 7.5 Ah to 500 Ah
GAIA offers two basic types of
products tailored to different
applications
The HE product series is optimized towards high energy content
with moderate rate capability (continuous discharge up to 2C)
The HP and UHP series are designed to deliver maximum power
(continuous discharge up to 10C)
GAIA has developed battery packs of up to 600V to customer
specifications
GAIA battery pack include an intelligent Battery Management
System (BMS) for better safety and cycle life.

GAIA cells offer the highest power of any commercial lithium
ion cell in the western hemisphere* (most amperes or watts
per kilogram)
GAIA UHP product achieves 2400 W/kg (pulse)
GAIA cells are the largest lithium ion cells produced in the
western hemisphere (most energy capacity -
watt-hours or
amp hours)
GAIA HE-602050 has 60 Ah or 216 Wh corresponding to 150
Wh/kg
500 Ah cell is in final stage of development
LTC specializes in working with the customer to engineer
solutions using standardized cells in customized
configurations
Custom engineered battery packs including electronic battery
management systems
*  US and EU companies have an advantage selling the western hemisphere being
domestic suppliers and it is unrealistic for US and EU companies
to sell into Asia.

Expertise


Target Markets
Target Markets


Stationary Power
Growing dependence on
electrical power worldwide
drives the demand for high
quality
high-reliability power
for telecommunications,
computers, mission critical
applications, remote mobile
and renewable power
applications.  Very large
potential market.
Markets with Projected Growth in Advanced Batteries
Military/National
Security
Applications require
flexibility in design, wide
ranges of power output,
broad operating
temperatures, low weight 
and thousands of recharge
cycles. Performance is more
important than price. 
Market need is growing
quickly.  Development
funding is available.
Transportation
Applications require rapid
charging rates and long
life in safe, durable high
power storage for HEV,
EV and fuel cell powered
vehicles. Military, heavy
duty and niche vehicle
OEMs are early adopters. 
Immediate niches exist.
