Log9 Partners With Gamma Technologies For Battery Pack Development

Log9 Materials (Log9) has joined hands with Gamma Technologies (GT), a global leader and innovator in multi-physics system simulation software, and has selected its GT-SUITE software to aid in the thermal engineering of Log9’s battery cells.

Log9 is a pioneer in developing advanced Li-Ion cells for electric vehicles which are developed and manufactured in India. The Log9 RapidX series of batteries are designed to efficiently power electric vehicles in India and the global south.

Built using patented high-power cell technology, RapidX batteries are extremely durable, with the ability to last longer than conventional batteries without losing their efficiency. “Our RapidX batteries for EVs are the safest batteries in India. In order to continue to deliver best-in-class technology, we rely on leading solutions, such as those offered by Gamma Technologies, to help engineer our batteries,” said Pankaj Sharma, Co-Founder, Log9 Materials.

“We have already been working with GT and have now expanded our commitment to our partnership with GT. We have found their products and support invaluable for our advanced engineering needs for our EV battery cells,” Sharma added.

Meanwhile, Dimple Shah, President and CEO, Gamma Technologies said, “The technology leadership that Log9 brings to the industry for India and their commitment to sustainability is unmatched. We are glad that our R&D vision of having an integrated solution from the electrochemical to the pack level will add value to the innovation at Log9. We look forward to working with the various teams at Log9 to empower them with simulation-aided decision-making to develop the next-generation battery cells and mobility technologies.”

GT’s simulation software, GT-SUITE, enables system integration, analysis, and optimization through physics-based libraries. The company also develops the leading electrochemical simulation software, GT-AutoLion, used by battery suppliers and OEMs for cell and pack design. “We are excited to partner with Log9 in developing advanced cell and pack technologies. Our common vision for urgency in developing sustainable and green solutions instills a great deal of excitement within the collaborating team. The journey so far has been rewarding and we look forward to the collective success,” remarked Ramnik Singh, Director, Gamma Technologies India.

Earlier, Log9 joined hands with LOHUM to address the critical challenge of sustainable battery disposal in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. According to the official statement, the collaboration aimed to solve for the arbitrage of trust, transparency, and accountability of the residual value of the lithium-ion batteries and to accelerate the Net Zero materials transition efforts of Log9, maximizing the utility of their annual production of 250 MWh Lithium-Titanium-Oxide (LTO) EV batteries after they reach end-of-first-life, by repurposing them to make second-life solutions for renewable energy storage.

Log9 introduced chemistry-based financing in EVs by attributing financial metrics peculiar to chemistry such as LTO and residual value of LTO battery packs is a key driver. It has been able to complete the loop of the circular economy of Lithium-ion batteries by enabling partners such as LOHUM to secure their supply well in advance.
