SANTA MARIA, CA, UNITED STATES, October 29, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Space Information Laboratories (SIL) proudly announces that its Li-Ion Polymer Intelli-Pack^® 20Ah next generation battery technology has been selected by Avio, Italy to power its IFD (In Flight Demonstrator) avionics and telemetry subsystems.

SIL is a leading provider of high-end Li-Ion FTS, avionics, telemetry batteries, and GPS metric tracking and autonomous flight termination systems.

Li-Ion Polymer Intelli-Pack^® battery technology was first Range Safety qualified back in 2013. Since then, this technology has achieved 100% mission success on DoD and commercial Space programs across multiple launch vehicle platforms.

On top of this, SIL has EAR-99 approval through the US Dept of Commerce to sell Li-Ion Polymer Intelli-Pack^® battery technology overseas.

Li-Ion Polymer Intelli-Pack^® smart and safe battery technology offers significantly higher energy density (200-250 Wh/Kg), high current discharge capability, enhanced reliability, and superior operational capability for launch vehicles and small satellites, at same time providing substantial volume and weight savings, and turn-key battery charge and discharge operations with an integrated battery management system (BMS)
Avio selected SIL’s Li-Ion Polymer battery pack exactly due to this high-level performance in terms of power density and weight/space saving, crucial to the project and mission requirements and whose equivalent is not available on the market.
